pip-preserve 0.0.1

Installation

The tool can be installed from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/fridex/pip-preserve.git

You can also consume the published package on PyPI (recommended):

pip install pip-preserve

Usage

After the installation process is successfully done, pip-preserve CLI is available:

pip-preserve --help

By default, the tool uses the current environment to find installed packages and reconstruct a requirements.txt file:

pip-preserve
#
# This file is autogenerated by pip-preserve version 0.0.0 with Python 3.9.9.
#
packaging==23.0 \
  --hash=sha256:714ac14496c3e68c99c29b00845f7a2b85f3bb6f1078fd9f72fd20f0570002b2

If you wish to obtain direct URLs of packages installed, you can pass --direct-url flag:

#
# This file is autogenerated by pip-preserve version 0.0.0 with Python 3.9.9.
#
https://pypi-hypernode.com/packages/ed/35/a31aed2993e398f6b09a790a181a7927eb14610ee8bbf02dc14d31677f1c/packaging-23.0-py3-none-any.whl \
  --hash=sha256:714ac14496c3e68c99c29b00845f7a2b85f3bb6f1078fd9f72fd20f0570002b2

If the tool cannot determine from where a package was installed, it will fail. This error can be ignored by supplying --ignore-errors flag. Any errors are turned into warnings that can be reviewed once the tool prints results.

To explicitly point to a site-packages directory, use the --site-packages option.
