A simple script to sort python dependencies in requirement text files.

Installing this tool is easily done using pip. Assuming pip is installed just run the following from the command line:

$ pip install sort-requirements

This command will download the latest version from the Python Package Index and install it to your system. More information about pip and pypi can be found here:

• install pip
• pypi

Alternatively you can install from the distribution using the setup.py script:

$ python setup.py install

You could also install the development version by running the following:

$ pip install sort-requirements==dev

Or simple install from a clone of the git repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/rehandalal/sort-requirements.git
$ mkvirtualenv sort-requirements
$ pip install --editable .

To use this tool simply run the following from the command line:

$ sort-requirements my-requirements-file.txt

Please make sure to replace my-requirements-file.txt with the path to your requirements file(s).

If you only want to get a list of files that need sorting, without actually writing any changes to the files, use the --check flag:

$ sort-requirements --check my-requirements-file.txt another-file.txt

For even more options use the --help flag:

$ sort-requirements --help
