pipdeptree
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
``pipdeptree`` is a command line utility for displaying the python
|
|
packages installed in an environment in form of a dependency
|
|
tree. Since ``pip freeze`` shows all dependencies as a flat list,
|
|
finding out which are the top level packages and which packages do
|
|
they depend on requires some effort. This utility tries to solve this
|
|
problem.

|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pip install pipdeptree
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage and examples
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
To give you a brief idea, here is the output of ``pipdeptree``
|
|
compared with ``pip freeze``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pip freeze
|
|
Flask==0.10.1
|
|
Flask-Script==0.6.6
|
|
Jinja2==2.7.2
|
|
Mako==0.9.1
|
|
MarkupSafe==0.18
|
|
SQLAlchemy==0.9.1
|
|
Werkzeug==0.9.4
|
|
alembic==0.6.2
|
|
argparse==1.2.1
|
|
itsdangerous==0.23
|
|
psycopg2==2.5.2
|
|
redis==2.9.1
|
|
slugify==0.0.1
|
|
wsgiref==0.1.2
|
|
|
|
And now see what ``pipdeptree`` outputs,
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pipdeptree
|
|
wsgiref==0.1.2
|
|
argparse==1.2.1
|
|
psycopg2==2.5.2
|
|
Flask-Script==0.6.6
|
|
- Flask [installed: 0.10.1]
|
|
- Werkzeug [required: >=0.7, installed: 0.9.4]
|
|
- Jinja2 [required: >=2.4, installed: 2.7.2]
|
|
- markupsafe [installed: 0.18]
|
|
- itsdangerous [required: >=0.21, installed: 0.23]
|
|
alembic==0.6.2
|
|
- SQLAlchemy [required: >=0.7.3, installed: 0.9.1]
|
|
- Mako [installed: 0.9.1]
|
|
- MarkupSafe [required: >=0.9.2, installed: 0.18]
|
|
slugify==0.0.1
|
|
redis==2.9.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to track only the top level packages in your
|
|
``requirements.txt`` file, you could use grep as follows,
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pipdeptree | grep -P '^[\w0-9\-=.]+'
|
|
wsgiref==0.1.2
|
|
argparse==1.2.1
|
|
psycopg2==2.5.2
|
|
Flask-Script==0.6.6
|
|
alembic==0.6.2
|
|
slugify==0.0.1
|
|
redis==2.9.1
|
|
|
|
$ pipdeptree | grep -P '^[\w0-9\-=.]+' > requirements.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ pipdeptree -h
|
|
usage: pipdeptree [-h] [-a] [-l]
|
|
|
|
Dependency tree of the installed python packages
|
|
|
|
optional arguments:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-a, --all list all deps at top level
|
|
-l, --local-only list only the installations local to the current
|
|
virtualenv, if in a virtualenv
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
One thing you might have noticed already is that ``flask`` is shown as
|
|
a dependency of ``flask-script``, which although correct, sounds a bit
|
|
odd. ``flask-script`` is being used here *because* we are using
|
|
``flask`` and not the other way around. Same with ``sqlalchemy`` and
|
|
``alembic``. I haven't yet thought about a possible solution to this!
|
|
(May be if libs that are "extensions" could be distinguished from the
|
|
ones that are "dependencies". Suggestions are welcome.)
