(rather dependency tracker, but yapm is way better name than yapdt)
yapm is tool for installing packages from pypi, and storing installed things in requirements/*.txt files.
Because I want to track packages I install in my environment, to have quite ready files for pip -r commands.
$ yapm.sh packagename==requirements
or
$ yapm.sh git+https://github.com/packageverndor/packagename
Note! when installed from git, then package will be installed in edit mode
make install
Because pip freeze shows lot of dependencies, which are not important. They can also fail to install half year later.
When I first run pipenv, then I thought 'wow, it's what I wanted'. But later I
realized that hides pip too much, and in fact I don't really know what is going
on. When I add --verbose, then I see lot of output from pipenv (which I don't really want to see) but I still don't see output from pip install. And output from pip install is most valuable for me, because there I can find informations why package failed to install.
Also it's too complicated for me. Looks like it's goal is to find the optimal combination of dependencies. I want only to install package X and store information about X to appropriate requirements file.
Also, it has only 2 environments: dev and non-dev. I need more (dev, test, prod)
Because it doesn't handle git links. So when I install git+https://github.com/xxx/yyy it's not stored in requirements/base.txt nor in setup.cfg
