Instead of maintaining separate `requirements.txt`, `environment.yaml`, and `pyproject.toml` files, you write dependencies once in either `requirements.yaml` or `pyproject.toml`, and UniDep generates platform-specific lock files, Conda environments, and pip requirement files on demand.\n\nIt integrates with Setuptools and Hatchling to handle local dependencies in monorepos, supports platform selectors for OS-specific packages, and can generate `conda-lock.yml`, `pixi.toml`, and pinned `requirements.txt` files. The tool is designed to reduce the friction of juggling multiple package managers and dependency formats, particularly in projects that need both Python packages (from PyPI) and system-level or scientific packages (from Conda channels).","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. UniDep is actively maintained, has low install friction, and solves a real problem for projects mixing Conda and Pip dependencies. However, the license status is unclear\u2014verify the actual license in the repository before adopting in a commercial or restricted context. If you manage monorepos or need cross-platform dependency pinning, it is worth evaluating."},"id":"unidep","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/unidep","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/unidep.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/unidep/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"unidep","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Unified Conda and Pip requirements management."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":79053,"position":14386,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.4.2"}
