pip: requirements vs. constraints (intermediate) anthony explains

[@talalkalai8748]

you have THE best tutorials , hands down. consider cpp playlist.....

[@tompov227]

What I like about these videos is Anthony never condescendingly gives us "homework for the week" unlike some *other* weekly programming tip shows I can think of 🤨

[@anthonywritescode]

just here to drop info :)

I wish you had put out this tutorial maybe in May/June... I needed this exact thing. We ended up with some shitty solution and a flawed workaround. But this was a super useful tutorial as always!

Could you make a video (or maybe you've already something like that?) that will discuss how to efficiently work with dependencies using pip? I mean the best practice regarding requirements.txt & requirements-dev.txt -- what should you put inside: the whole set of installed packages or only primary imports; should you rather freeze the versions with ==, or use < > symbols, or maybe use no version annotations at all? Also, is there a way to conveniently update the versions of dependencies specified in requirements files: maybe there is some automated way to do this? And maybe: how it is different for packaged code where you have the dependencies in setup.cfg? I guess that the topic is broad, and it would be hard to cover everything, but I started exploring this topic, and it's hard to find some set of golden rules

[@anthonywritescode]

yeah I plan to cover this at some point -- the summary of my ideas for applications is here: github.com/Yelp/requirements-tools#our-stance-on-pinning-requirements

@@anthonywritescode great, thanks for the link! Looking forward to a video, though ;]

Anthony, when viewing your videos on a phone, it's hard to see the text. Most of your frame is empty, you can easily enlarge the font. thanks!

[@anthonywritescode]

they are not intended to be viewed on phone -- I would recommend you view them on desktop. the font size is already very large and even doubling it will not make it visible on a phone

[@sadhlife]

and to be fair, I watch all these videos on phone just fine

@@anthonywritescode It will ruin your optimized 80 char tabs 😛
