About:
Pipgrip is a lightweight, pip-compatible dependency resolver that uses a SAT solver to determine the optimal set of packages required for a project. It can recursively lock dependencies and generate deterministic requirements files, similar to pip-tools but with a focus on speed and minimal dependencies. This makes it ideal for CI/CD pipelines and environments where installing heavy tools like Poetry is undesirable.
|
Key Features:
- SAT-based dependency resolution for accurate conflict detection
- Generates deterministic, pinned requirements.txt files
- Lightweight and fast with minimal Python dependencies
- Compatible with pip and standard requirements formats
|
Use Cases:
- Locking dependencies for reproducible builds in CI/CD pipelines
- Quickly auditing the dependency tree of a Python project
- Generating requirements files without installing heavy tooling
|
Alternatives:
-
pip-tools
– More established but heavier and slower on large dependency trees
-
Poetry
– Full-featured project manager with build/publishing, but adds significant overhead
-
pip-compile
– Part of pip-tools; similar functionality but less aggressive resolution strategies
