Can I add comments to a pip requirements file?
Question:
I’d like to add comments for a few packages in a pip requirements file. (Just to explain why that package is on the list.) Can I do this?
I’m imagining something like
Babel==0.9.5 # translation
CherryPy==3.2.0 # web server
Creoleparser==0.7.1 # wiki formatting
Genshi==0.5.1 # templating
Answers:
Sure, you can, just use #
A line that begins with # is treated as a comment and ignored. Whitespace followed by a # causes the # and the remainder of the line to be treated as a comment.
