poetry-plugin-export 1.10.0

Poetry plugin to export the dependencies to various formats

Poetry Plugin: Export

This package is a plugin that allows the export of locked packages to various formats.

Note: For now, only the constraints.txt and requirements.txt formats are available.

This plugin provides the same features as the existing export command of Poetry which it will eventually replace.

Installation

On Poetry 2.0 and newer, the easiest way to add the export plugin is to declare it as a required Poetry plugin.

[tool.poetry.requires-plugins]
poetry-plugin-export = ">=1.8"

Otherwise, install the plugin via the self add command of Poetry.

poetry self add poetry-plugin-export

If you used pipx to install Poetry you can add the plugin via the pipx inject command.

pipx inject poetry poetry-plugin-export

Otherwise, if you used pip to install Poetry you can add the plugin packages via the pip install command.

pip install poetry-plugin-export

Usage

The plugin provides an export command to export to the desired format.

poetry export -f requirements.txt --output requirements.txt

[!IMPORTANT] When installing an exported requirements.txt via pip, you should always pass --no-deps because Poetry has already resolved the dependencies so that all direct and transitive requirements are included and it is not necessary to resolve again via pip. pip may even fail to resolve dependencies, especially if git dependencies, which are exported with their resolved hashes, are included.

[!NOTE] The following formats are currently supported:

• requirements.txt
• constraints.txt
• pylock.toml

Available options

• --format (-f): The format to export to (default: requirements.txt). Additionally, constraints.txt and pylock.toml are supported.
• --output (-o): The name of the output file. If omitted, print to standard output.
• --with: The optional and non-optional dependency groups to include. By default, only the main dependencies are included.
• --only: The only dependency groups to include. It is possible to exclude the main group this way.
• --without: The dependency groups to ignore. (Deprecated)
• --default: Only export the main dependencies. (Deprecated)
• --dev: Include development dependencies. (Deprecated)
• --extras (-E): Extra sets of dependencies to include.
• --all-extras: Include all sets of extra dependencies.
• --all-groups: Include all dependency groups.
• --without-hashes: Exclude hashes from the exported file.
• --with-credentials: Include credentials for extra indices.
