It accepts either a file-like object or a string and extracts package names, version constraints, and metadata like extras, URLs, and version control references.\n\nThe module handles most pip requirement file syntax including editables, version control URIs, egg hashes, subdirectories, and extras. It has a single runtime dependency on packaging and supports Python 3.8 through 3.14. The project is actively maintained and has been in use since its initial release in 2013.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a stable, actively maintained parser with low install friction and no known vulnerabilities. Use it when you need to programmatically read and inspect pip requirement files rather than parsing them manually or with regex."},"id":"requirements-parser","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requirements-parser","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/requirements-parser.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/requirements-parser/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-18","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"requirements-parser","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"This is a small Python module for parsing Pip requirement files."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":17822865,"position":1103,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.13.1"}
