deptry – Find unused, missing and transitive dependencies in a Python project

deptry – A command line utility to check for obsolete, missing and transitive dependencies in a Python project

We are happy to share that deptry 0.10.0 has been released! Deptry is a command line tool to check for issues with dependencies in a Python project, such as obsolete or missing dependencies.

In this latest release, Some major improvements were added to the way deptry reports issues by [Mathieu Kniewallner](https://github.com/mkniewallner). You can find the full release notes [here](https://github.com/fpgmaas/deptry/releases/tag/0.10.0).

If you're interested in learning more about deptry, be sure to check out the [Documentation](https://fpgmaas.github.io/deptry/) and the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/fpgmaas/deptry).

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback!

Since PEP-621 does not specify a recommended way to define development dependencies, everything is expected to be a regular dependency. See here.

Thanks for your comment :) src was used purely as an example. By default, the tool scans for .py files in all directories recursively. But for example, in this issue someone put their source code in crop directory and thus called the tool with deptry crop/, which is not how the argument is supposed to be used.

Your project could use some additional documentation. Now the only way for me to find out how to use it is through the 'open colab' button. You could consider adding an example to the README. I personally always try to add a documentation website, which is really easily done with e.g. mkdocs or Sphinx. For an example, you could check out my most recent project deptry.

I have recently been working on a project called `deptry`, a command line tool to check for issues in the dependencies of Python projects. It can be used to find obsolete, missing, transitive and misplaced development dependencies. It supports the following types of projects:

- Projects that use Poetry and a corresponding pyproject.toml file

- Projects that use a requirements.txt file according to the pip standards

I am quite happy with the project in its current form, but I also realise there is still a lot of room left for improvement. Therefore, I hope some people are willing to give it a try and provide me with feedback. So; if you have a project with a long list of dependencies and a little bit of spare time on your hands, please give it a try and let me know what you think!

If you encounter any issues, find a bug, or have any other form of feedback, please don't hesitate to raise an issue in the GitHub repository, or leave a comment here.

Kind regards,

Florian

P.S. Many thanks to Hirokazu Takaya (https://github.com/lisphilar) for incorporating it in the CI/CD pipeline of his project covid19-sir (https://github.com/lisphilar/covid19-sir). It provided me with very valuable early feedback.

- Projects that use a _requirements.txt_ file according to the [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/) standards

django-functest – Helpers for creating high-level functional tests in Django, with a unified API for WebTest and Selenium tests

I think the case for server-side HTML rendering has never been stronger, and of all Django projects I work on, the ones I enjoy most are those that never got on the SPA bandwagon. From both a developer and user point of view I find them much faster and less painful. There are many cases where you really, really don't need the massive amount of extra complexity involved in designing APIs, adding JS frameworks etc.

When you need a bit of extra UI goodness, [htmx](https://htmx.org/) is a fantastic solution, and you can still use SPA-type approaches for things that need them.

You can also benefit from massively faster (and more reliable) functional testing when you are mostly standard HTML - see [django-functest](https://github.com/django-functest/django-functest/) for an example of this.
