Oh, that's news to me! I stand corrected.

(The point about other development tooling is, I believe, still accurate -- if you e.g. have `black` installed, `pip freeze` will show it.)




Which is a huge limitation of many of the other tools. I have some beef with poetry, but it did at least get one thing correct: differentiating between the code required libraries and the development tooling (pytest, black, etc). There are hacky workarounds to accomplish this with other tools, but codifying this differentiation is incredibly valuable.


With pip-tools you can use a requirements.txt for production and a requirements-dev.txt for your development environment. The latter imports the former.
