Automatically create requirements.txt

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

pip3 freeze > requirements.txt  # Python3
pip freeze > requirements.txt  # Python2

If you do not use a virtual environment, pigar will be a good choice for you.


You can use the following code to generate a requirements.txt file:

pip install pipreqs

pipreqs /path/to/project

more info related to pipreqs can be found here.

Sometimes you come across pip freeze, but this saves all packages in the environment including those that you don't use in your current project.
