Thanks for all the feedback and contributions, try the v2: pip install pigar==2.0.0.

This version has changed a lot of things, most of them are BREAKING CHANGEs!

  • Dropped support for Python versions older than 3.7.
  • Redesigned the command line interface.
    • pigar generate to generate requirements.txt.
    • pigar search to search packages/distributions by the top level module names.
    • pigar check to check the latest versions of requirements.
    • pigar -h to explore more.
    • pigar accepts a prefix for a command, such as pigar gen, pigar c.
  • Refactored a lot of code and interfaces.
  • Vendoring the pip to access more sophisticated utilities(pip named it's module as _internal so vendoring technology is introduced).
    • Fixed a lot of issues when parsing the requirements file, e.g. #113.
    • Fixed the issues for editable requirements, e.g. #60.
  • Tweaked some default actions and introduced more options for better user experience.
    • pigar will ask user to choose the right packages/distributions if pigar has found multiple packages/distributions for the same module names. With --auto-select enabled, pigar will guess the best matched one or choose all possible packages/distributions automatically.
    • Added an option --dry-run which allows pigar to not write a requirements.txt file, just print it.
    • Added an option --follow-symbolic-links/--dont-follow-symbolic-links to let user decide whether to follow the symbolic links, fixed #89.
    • Added an option -i/--index-url to allow the custom URL of the Python Package Index, fixed #52.
    • Removed the spaces from requirements specifier, fixed #86.
    • Added an option --show-differences/--dont-show-differences to enable or disable showing the differences when the requirements file is overwritten.
  • Introduced asyncio to synchronize distributions' metadata with the PyPI, the process is much faster now.
  • Refactored the code to make the index database more reliable.
    • Add unique contstraints to avoid duplicate records, fixed #119.
    • Store versions in the database to do incremental index synchronization.
