pigar

• Generating requirements.txt for Python project.
  • Handling the difference between different Python versions.
  • Jupyter notebook (*.ipynb) support.
  • Including the import statements from exec/eval, doctest of docstring, etc.
• Searching packages by import name.
• Checking the latest versions for Python project.

NOTE: Pipenv or other tools is recommended for improving your development flow.

Installation

pigar can run on Python 2.7.+ and 3.2+.

To install it with pip, use:

[sudo] pip install pigar

To install it with conda, use:

conda install -c conda-forge pigar

To get the newest code from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/damnever/[email protected][master or other branch] --upgrade

Usage

• pigar can consider all kinds of complicated situations. For example, this project has py2_requirements.txt and py3_requirements.txt for different Python versions(see the above GIF).

  # Generate requirements.txt for current directory.
  $ pigar
  
  # Generating requirements.txt for given directory in given file.
  $ pigar -p ../dev-requirements.txt -P ../
  

  pigar can list all files which referenced the package(the line numbers for Jupyter notebook may be a bit confusing), for example:

  # project/foo.py: 2,3
  # project/bar/baz.py: 2,7,8,9
  foobar == 3.3.3
  

  If the requirements.txt is overwritten, pigar will show the difference between the old and the new.

• If you do not know the import name that belongs to a specific package (more generally, does Import Error: xxx drive you crazy?), such as bs4 which may come from beautifulsoup4 or MySQLdb which could come from MySQL_Python, try searching for it:

  $ pigar -s bs4 MySQLdb
  

• Checking for the latest version:

  # Specify a requirements file.
  $ pigar -c ./requirements.txt
  
  # Or, you can let pigar searching all *requirements.txt in the current directory
  # level by itself. If not found, pigar will generate a new requirements.txt
  # for the current project, then check for the latest versions.
  $ pigar -c

FAQ

More

pigar does not use regular expressions in such a violent way. Instead, it uses AST, which is a better method for extracting imported names from arguments of exec/eval, doctest of docstring, etc.

Also, pigar can detect the difference between different Python versions. For example, you can find concurrent.futures from the Python 3.2 standard library, but you will need install futures in earlier versions of Python to get concurrent.futures, this is not a hardcode.
