upgrade-py-direct-reqs 0.3.0

Upgrade only direct dependencies in requirements.txt or pyproject.toml

upgrade-py-direct-reqs

Upgrade only direct dependencies listed in requirements.txt safely.

A Python CLI tool that lets you review and upgrade only direct dependencies in a project’s requirements.txt or pyproject.toml, while keeping your pinned versions up to date.

Developed by coding agents with guidance from Miteshkumar N Raval.

Features

• Lists outdated direct dependencies.
• Prompts for confirmation before upgrading.
• Supports both requirements.txt and pyproject.toml (with [project.dependencies]).
• Updates requirements.txt with new pinned versions.
• Cross-platform: works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• CLI installable via pip in a virtual environment or globally.

---

Installation

# Recommended: install inside your existing project virtual environment
source myenv/bin/activate  # or myenv\Scripts\activate on Windows
pip install upgrade-py-direct-reqs

# Optional: install the CLI globally with pipx
pipx install upgrade-py-direct-reqs

Important: Even when installed via pipx, activate your project's virtual environment before running upgrade-py-direct-reqs so upgrades are applied to the correct environment.

---

Usage

# Explicitly specify your requirements file
upgrade-py-direct-reqs requirements.txt

# Or specify your pyproject.toml
upgrade-py-direct-reqs pyproject.toml

• The CLI lists outdated direct dependencies.
• Review versions and confirm before upgrading.
• After upgrade, the requirements.txt file is updated with pinned versions.

Test instructions

To run CLI tests with pytest:

 1. pip install .[dev]  (to install dev deps listed in pyproject.toml)
 2. Ensure pytest is installed in your environment: pip install pytest
 3. Run tests from the project root:
       pytest tests/tests_cli.py
 4. Tests cover:
       - requirements.txt only
       - pyproject.toml only
       - conflicting dependencies in both files
       - empty requirements.txt
       - invalid toml file name (refer PEP 621 for more details)
