pip-compile-cross-platform 0.9.2

Lock your dependencies once, use your lockfile everywhere

pip-compile-cross-platform

🚨 This is early-stage software, it's currently recommended to verify outputted changes 🚨

Usage

1. pip install --user pip-compile-cross-platform
2. pip-compile-cross-platform requirements.in

Description

pip-compile is an incredible tool built by the Jazzband crew. However, there's one main limitation: cross-environment usage is unsupported.

As the resulting requirements.txt can differ for each environment, users must execute pip-compile on each Python environment separately to generate a requirements.txt valid for each said environment.

pip-compile-cross-platform is planned to act as a stand-in replacement for pip-compile that can produce a single, source-of-truth requirements.txt file that can be used in any target environment.

Note that compatibility with pip-compile is still weak, and help to improve the state of compatibility would be much appreciated.

How it works

Environment-specific dependencies are defined using environment markers. pip-compile processes environment markers up-front according to the current environment. poetry, another fantastic project, can export a requirements.txt file while tracking the state of all environment markers.

Essentially, pip-compile-cross-platform is a thin wrapper around poetry that mimicks the interface of pip-compile.
