DepHell is an all-in-one Python project management CLI that converts between dependency formats (setup.py, requirements.txt, Pipfile, poetry), resolves and locks dependencies, and manages virtual environments. It also supports building packages, bumping versions, auditing licenses, and checking outdated dependencies.

Use cases

  • convert requirements.txt to poetry or pipfile format
  • lock python dependencies when pipenv fails to resolve
  • manage multiple virtual environments for one project
  • audit dependency licenses and security
  • show outdated python packages
  • build and release a python package

When to choose

  • you need to convert between python dependency formats
  • pip or pipenv cannot resolve a tricky dependency conflict
  • you want one tool for deps, venvs, and packaging

When to avoid

  • starting a new project today - the repo is archived and unmaintained since 2021
  • you need ongoing support for modern packaging standards
  • you want actively maintained alternatives like poetry, pip-tools, or uv
