deptry is a command line tool that detects unused, missing, and transitive dependency issues in Python projects by scanning imported modules and comparing them against declared dependencies. It supports Poetry, pip, PDM, uv, and any PEP 621-compliant project.

Use cases

• find unused dependencies in a python project
• detect missing dependencies before publishing a package
• check for transitive dependency issues in ci
• lint pyproject.toml dependencies against actual imports
• enforce dependency hygiene in github actions

When to choose

• you maintain a Python project with Poetry, pip, PDM, or uv and want automated dependency checks
• you want to catch unused or missing imports in CI pipelines
• you need a fast, configurable linter for dependency declarations

When to avoid

• your project is not Python-based
• you need full dependency resolution or lockfile management rather than auditing
• you cannot run the tool inside the project's virtual environment
