Automatically create requirements.txt
You can use the pip freeze
command to automatically generate a requirements.txt file in Python. This command lists all of the packages and their versions that are currently installed in your virtual environment. Here's an example of how to use the command in a Python script:
import subprocess
# Create a requirements.txt file
with open("requirements.txt", "w") as f:
subprocess.call(["pip", "freeze"], stdout=f)
This script opens a file called "requirements.txt" in write mode, and then calls the pip freeze
command, passing the file object as the stdout
argument. This writes the output of the pip freeze
command to the file, creating a requirements.txt file containing a list of all the packages and their versions currently installed in your environment.
You may also use pipenv
instead of pip
if you're using pipenv.
import subprocess
# Create a requirements.txt file
with open("requirements.txt", "w") as f:
subprocess.call(["pipenv", "lock", "-r"], stdout=f)
This will output the dependency tree of your project.
