  They automate that, plus more. Everyone interested in the original link should really check it out: https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools

  ... but it's notorious for not working on latest Python and pip.

    A limitation you are not bound to cause they are open source.

      So, I should learn the inner-workings of pip just to use a basic tool that exists both in Node.js and Ruby land and a dozen others?

        Yes. Or, wait until some one else does. This is how open source works. How do you think Node.js and Ruby got the capability? Do you imagine they sprout fully formed from hyperbole like "a dozen others".

          I've been waiting, trust me. It's never been working with the latest pip, sorry!
