That looks interesting, I've also tried out pip-tools[0] which is really nice. However nice these tools are it seems to a bit at odds with the Zen of Python. Ideally there should be just one single good way to deal with packages. Ironically this is the case for Ruby, but not at all for Python. Ultimately you can always use some alternative method that solves it better, but you then have to take on the burden of convincing your co-contributors that it is a better idea than using pip and you also have to explain it to anyone that joins your project. 0: https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools https://github.com/nvie/pip-tools
