pymin_reqs

This module attempt to make a minimal requirements.txt file based on the imports are used inside of the code of your project, .py files. These requirements are a subset of what would be given using pip freeze or conda list --export as these commands give everything that is used inside of the Python environment. This is useful if a project is used inside of a shared environment or if you want a cleaner requirements.txt that only has your imported modules but not the dependencies, and sub-dependencies, of those modules.

Install With Pip

python3 -m pip install pymin-reqs

Usage

usage: pymin_reqs [-h] [-d DIRECTORY] [--conda] [--pip] [-f] [-s] [-v] [-e] [-o OUTFILE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        Specify the input directory. Default: '.'
  --conda               Output conda requirements instead of pip. Use --pip --conda to show both
  --pip                 Show pip requirements. not required by default unless --conda is also specified
  -f, --force           Force overwrite of the given file in --outfile
  -s, --stats           Show import locations and count of imported modules.
  -v, --verbose         Verbose mode
  -e, --ignore-errors   Ignore errors when possible
  -o OUTFILE, --outfile OUTFILE
                        Specify the output file. Default 'requirements.txt'

Examples

Show requirements on command line

pymin_reqs

Output requirements to a file "requirements.txt"

pymin_reqs -o requirements.txt

Output requirements to a file "requirements.txt" and force overwrite

pymin_reqs -f -o requirements.txt

This module uses the abstract syntax tree(ast module) to find imports. If there are invalid python file this might cause errors in parsing. To get around this you can specify --ignore-errors

pymin_reqs --ignore-errors
