Update Python package versions in requirements.txt with exact versions from pip freeze

Project description

Pipup

Update Python Package versions in requirements.txt with exact versions from pip freeze

PyPI version License: MIT Python 3.7+

A command-line tool that updates existing packages in requirements.txt with their exact versions from pip freeze, without adding new packages. Perfect for keeping your requirements.txt files up-to-date with your current environment.

✨ Features

  • Safe Updates: Only updates existing packages, never adds new ones
  • Preserves Formatting: Maintains package order, comments, and empty lines
  • Smart Version Handling: Supports all version specifiers (>=, <, ~, etc.)
  • Package Extras: Correctly handles packages with extras (e.g., Flask[async])
  • Dry Run Mode: Preview changes before applying them
  • Enhanced Dry Run: Shows complete updated requirements.txt content
  • Error Handling: Warns about packages not found in pip freeze
  • Cross-Platform: Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

📋 Examples

Before Running Pipup

requests
Flask>=2.0.0
langchain
pydantic>=1.0.0,<2.0.0
# This is a comment
azure-storage-blob
Flask[async]
duckduckgo-search

After Running Pipup

requests==2.32.4
Flask==3.1.1
langchain==0.3.27
pydantic==2.11.7
# This is a comment
azure-storage-blob==12.26.0
Flask[async]==3.1.1
duckduckgo-search

Dry Run Output

$ pipup requirements.txt --dry-run
Running pip freeze...
Found 246 installed packages
Dry run: Updating test_requirements.txt...
Warning: flask not found in pip freeze, keeping original specification
Warning: duckduckgo-search not found in pip freeze, keeping original specification

Dry run: Would update 4 packages
Packages not found in pip freeze: flask, duckduckgo-search

Updated requirements.txt content:
--------------------------------------------------
requests==2.31.0
Flask>=2.0.0
langchain==0.0.329
pydantic==1.10.15
# This is a comment
azure-storage-blob==12.19.1
Flask[async]
duckduckgo-search
--------------------------------------------------

🔧 How It Works

  1. Runs pip freeze to get all installed packages with exact versions
  2. Parses requirements.txt line by line, preserving formatting and comments
  3. Matches packages by name (case-insensitive) and handles extras
  4. Updates version specifiers to exact versions (==) from pip freeze
  5. Preserves everything else (comments, empty lines, package order, warnings)

📦 Supported Version Specifiers

Pipup handles all standard pip version specifiers:

Specifier Example Result
No version requests requests==2.32.4
Exact version requests==1.0.0 requests==2.32.4
Minimum version requests>=1.0.0 requests==2.32.4
Maximum version requests<3.0.0 requests==2.32.4
Version range requests>=1.0.0,<3.0.0 requests==2.32.4
Compatible release requests~=1.0.0 requests==2.32.4
Exclusion requests!=1.0.0 requests==2.32.4

🎯 Package Extras Support

Pipup correctly handles packages with extras:

# Before
Flask[async]
requests[security]
django[postgresql]

# After
Flask[async]==3.1.1
requests[security]==2.32.4
django[postgresql]==4.2.7

⚠️ Error Handling

  • Missing requirements.txt: Exits with clear error message
  • Package not found: Warns and keeps original specification
  • pip not found: Exits with helpful error message
  • Invalid requirements.txt: Preserves malformed lines as-is
  • Permission errors: Clear error messages for file access issues
