Python Common Install

This is a generalized requirements.txt to install common packages for python development. I will add packages as I need them. Using >= allows for forward compatibility to always install newest.

Files

• requirements.txt has all of the python packages with descriptions
• requirements.txt_backup has all of the packages without descriptions - if that's more your thing
• DescribePackagesAndReformat.py is a script to convert a requirements.txt_backup style list into a requirements.txt style list, for after you freeze your system setup back into requirements.txt (see below)

Usage

After syncing this will install the newest version of all packages listed.

pip install -U -r requirements.txt

Update

After install you can use freeze to update the file.

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Maintain Forward Compatibility

Note: You will have to Find -> Replace All "==" with ">=" to get back to the forward compatible state.

OR:

You can run DescribePackagesAndReformat.py to get back to ">=" while adding descriptions like the current file has. This will update and overwrite requirements.txt_backup as well.

OR:

If you have initialized the repo and want to maintain your copy on github, I automated the describe/deploy steps in deploy.py.
