About this tool
Build a pip requirements.txt with pinned versions, extras and environment markers, validated against PEP 508 and PEP 440 rules.
This generator builds a pip requirements.txt line by line, validating package names, extras and environment markers against PEP 508 and version specifiers against PEP 440 — including exact pins (==), compatible releases (~=), wildcards (==2.0.*) and markers like python_version < "3.11". It is for Python developers who want a correct, reproducible dependency file without memorising specifier grammar, and it warns about unpinned or unbounded requirements.

Review, refine, and reuse the output wherever you need it.
Names, extras, versions and markers are checked against the actual PEP 508/440 grammar, not just non-empty.
One-click markers for Python version, Windows/macOS/Linux and arm64 — quoting handled for you.
Flags unpinned packages and >= ranges with no upper bound before they break a future install.
== pins one exact version (requests==2.31.0 installs only 2.31.0), while ~= allows compatible releases: ~=2.31.0 means >=2.31.0 but <2.32.0, and ~=2.2 means >=2.2 but <3.0. Applications usually pin with ==; libraries usually declare ranges.
Append an environment marker after a semicolon: tomli>=1.1.0 ; python_version < "3.11". The comparison value must be in quotes. PEP 508 markers can also test sys_platform, platform_machine and os_name, and combine clauses with and/or.
They install the package's optional extras — additional dependency groups the project defines. requests[socks] pulls in the SOCKS-proxy dependencies alongside requests itself; multiple extras are comma-separated, like uvicorn[standard] or celery[redis,msgpack].
For deployed applications, yes — exact pins (plus hashes via pip-compile --generate-hashes) are the only way to guarantee the same install twice. For libraries, no — pin ranges instead, because exact pins in a library force conflicts onto every consumer. A common setup is a loose pyproject.toml plus a fully pinned, generated requirements lock file.
