reqs2brew tool

Generate Homebrew resource blocks from a requirements.txt.

This tool helps Homebrew formula authors convert a list of Python dependencies into resource stanzas suitable for use with virtualenv_install_with_resources. It supports version resolution, SHA256 calculation, and optional filtering of pre-releases.

Features

• Automatically fetches the latest stable release of each package.
• Downloads the source tarball (sdist) for proper SHA256 calculation.
• Outputs Homebrew resource blocks to both terminal and file.
• Caches downloads to avoid redundant network requests.

Installation

pip install reqs2brew
