pipreqs is a Python CLI tool that generates a requirements.txt file by scanning a project's source code for imports and mapping them to PyPI package names. It supports custom PyPI servers, proxies, Jupyter notebook scanning, and version pinning schemes.
Use cases
- generate requirements.txt from project imports
- find missing dependencies in a python project
- clean unused packages from requirements.txt
- compare requirements.txt against actual imports
- scan jupyter notebooks for dependencies
When to choose
- you need a requirements.txt for a project that never had one
- you want imports-based dependency detection instead of environment snapshots
- you need to diff or clean an existing requirements file
When to avoid
- you want to pin exact versions of an existing working environment (use pip freeze)
- you manage dependencies with modern tools like poetry or uv
- the project is unmaintained and you need active support
