Dependencies

To manage and pin the (sub)dependencies we use pip-tools. We create two requirements files, one for the production environment (py-deploy/requirements.txt) and one for all development requirements (dev-requirements.txt).

The production dependencies are derived from the dependencies defined in py-deploy/setup.py.
To add new dependencies, add them to py-deploy/setup.py and then run ./compile-requirements.

The development requirements are derived from dev-requirements.in.
To add new development dependencies, add them to this file and then rerun ./compile-requirements.sh.

To upgrade the dependencies in the created requirement files, check out the available options for pip-tools and pass them to the compile script. To update all dependencies, run ./compile-requirements.sh --upgrade.
