buildout.dumprequirements
A simple buildout extension that dumps a requirements.txt file for pip.
This is more or less a copy of buildout.dumppickedversions. All credit goes to the authors of that project.
Warning
buildout.dumppickedversions (and therefore also buildout.dumprequirements) does some nasty
stuff to get its job done. Namely it monkeypatches zc.buildout.easy_install._log_requirement,
zc.buildout.easy_install.Installer._get_dist and logging.shutdown. Because both extensions
monkeypatch the same methods, it is currently not possible to use buildout.dumppickedversions and
buildout.dumprequirements at the same time.
I'm not quite sure how to solve this. Probably we'll have to support the functionality of both extensions
in one package.
Usage
Add buildout.dumprequirements as an extension to the [buildout] section:
[buildout] extensions = buildout.dumprequirements dump-requirements-file = requirements.txt overwrite-requirements-file = true
dump-requirements-file defines the file the requirement list will be written to. If it is undefined the
package list will be printed to the console. Setting overwrite-requirements-file to false will prevent
buildout.dumprequirements from overwriting an existing file. The setting defaults to true.
