pip-package-list

A small and definitely faulty tool that tries to form a list of packages that you depend on. This is useful in mono-repo's where all dependencies are split into dozens of requirements.txt and setup.py files.

One particular use-case that fueled the development of this tool was to create a flat list of dependencies to pre-install in a Docker base image.

Although there is a number of tools that parse and resolve requirement files, I did not find any that parse setup.py files and extract install_requires.

Usage

usage: pip-package-list [-h] [--recurse-recursive] [--recurse-editable] [--recurse-path]
                        [--inline-constraints] [--dedupe] [--remove-editable] [--remove-path]
                        [--remove-recursive] [--remove-constraints] [--remove-vcs] [--remove-wheel]
                        [--remove-unversioned] [--remove-index-urls]
                        file_paths [file_paths ...]

positional arguments:
  file_paths            list of requirements.txt or setup.py files

optional arguments:
