Automatic requirements.txt installation

Usage

In order to use requirements to install your dependencies from requirements.txt, you only have to add this repository to yours as a submodule

git submodule add https://github.com/Zuzu-Typ/requirements
git submodule update --init --recursive

Then you can install all requirements from your requirements.txt file automatically as needed using

from requirements import requirements

Additionaly you can specify the filepath using:

import os
os.environ["PyPI_REQUIREMENTS_PATH"] = "/path/to/a/requirements.txt"

[ ... ]

from requirements import requirements

and you can disable the output of pip like so:

from requirements import silent, requirements

or alternatively:

import os
os.environ["PyPI_REQUIREMENTS_OUTPUT"] = "OFF"

[ ... ]

from requirements import requirements

Example

Let's say you need the modules Pillow, winput and PyGLM for your project.
You compose the following requirements.txt file:

Pillow >= 9.0.0
winput == 1.4.0
PyGLM

You have added this repository as a submodule to your project. Then your main script might look something like this:

import os

# Uncomment this line to stop pip output (not advised, as the user doesn't know what's going on):
# os.environ["PyPI_REQUIREMENTS_OUTPUT"] = "OFF"

# Uncomment this line to specify a different filepath than the default relative "requirements.txt" file
# os.environ["PyPI_REQUIREMENTS_PATH"] = "/path/to/a/requirements.txt"

# The following line will install all required packages that can be found in the requirements.txt file.
# It checks if it needs to run pip first (by looking at the installed packages in site-packages)
# It raises an IOError if the requirements file could not be found, the site-packages folder was missing
# or when running as a binary executable.
from requirements import requirements

# Now the packages are available:
import winput
import glm
import PIL
