You can also use the –keep option to specify certain packages to keep installed. Pipurge will also keep the dependencies of the packages you specify so they stay working.

If you’d like further control over the process, use the –ask option and Pipurge will ask you whether to uninstall each package that’s left.

$ pipurge --keep requests,flask --ask
