distill

distill is a Python utility to extract necessary third-party imports from a project. I created this utility since I develop projects with more packages (e.g. jupyter, pandas) than necessary for a final product. Note that package names may differ from their import names (e.g. scikit-learn:sklearn, beautifulsoup4:bs4). This is not easy to solve so it's left up to the user to handle.

Features

Installation

Clone this repo and enter this command from the root directory

pip install .

Note: make sure you've activated your Python environment where you want distill to be installed.

Using distill to clean up requirements

Go to the root of your project directory

cd path/to/project

Usage:
    distill [options]

Options:
    -d, --dir       Directory to perform distillation (defaults to current working directory).
    -s, --save      Save distilled requirements to file. (defaults to distill.txt in current working directory).

Output

Imports: ['cv2', 'numpy', 'PIL', 'tensorflow']
Writing distilled requirements to <save>/distill.txt
