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
Open your Python project in VS Code.
Run the command Generate requirements.txt from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
Find your requirements.txt file in the root of your workspace.
