pyreqs

Welcome to pyreqs, a Visual Studio Code extension that automatically generates a requirements.txt file for your Python projects. With pyreqs, you can save time and ensure your dependencies are accurately listed by scanning your project files.

Features

• Automatic Dependency Detection: Scans all .py files in your workspace to identify required libraries.

• Excludes Standard Libraries: Filters out Python's built-in modules, ensuring only external libraries are included.

• Handles .gitignore: Respects your .gitignore file to avoid unnecessary files and directories like .venv.

• One-Click Execution: Generate a requirements.txt file by simply running the Generate requirements.txt command.

Example

1. Open your Python project in VS Code.

2. Run the command Generate requirements.txt from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).

3. Find your requirements.txt file in the root of your workspace.
