taze 🥬

Keep your Python dependencies fresh.

Inspired by taze for Node.js — ported to the Python ecosystem with support for pyproject.toml and requirements.txt.

Features

• Checks all dependencies against PyPI in parallel
• Shows the bump level (patch / minor / MAJOR) with colors
• Displays release age for both the current and latest version
• Supports pyproject.toml (PEP 508, PEP 735, uv) and requirements*.txt
• Writes updated version constraints back to the file (-w)
• Runs uv sync after writing (-i)
• Interactive package selection (-I)
• Recursive monorepo scanning (-r)
• Pre-release support (newest / next mode)
• Regex filtering for include / exclude
