Check out this Snakefood
Especially the command sfood-imports which finds and lists import statements in python project
So it is not depended on your env but rather on the code that you wrote
pip freeze > requirements.txt
Run python -m pip freeze or pip freeze to show only used packages.
And create file with command:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
With "pipreqs", you can create a requirements.txt in Django project:
So, install "pipreqs":
pip install pipreqs
Then, run this short command below in the root directory of your Django project to create a requirements.txt:
pipreqs
I have been trying to create a requirements.txt file from the Pycharm terminal but it is adding all unnecessary packages as well. What should I do to show only used packages?
Thanks,
