dep-sync

What it is and what it does

dep-sync is a helper library for keeping Python environments aligned with their declared dependencies. It wraps the packaging library to provide synchronization capabilities, though the exact scope of those capabilities—whether it compares lockfiles, updates environment state, or reconciles version conflicts—is not detailed in the available documentation excerpt.

The package targets modern Python versions (3.8 through 3.12, including PyPy) and is in beta status. It has been dormant since its initial release in October 2024, with no subsequent updates, though the repository remains accessible and the code is recent.

Use it for:

• Verify that a Python environment's installed packages match a declared dependency specification.
• Automate synchronization of dependencies across multiple development or deployment environments.
• Reconcile version mismatches between a requirements file and the actual installed state.

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Synchronizes Python environments by managing and reconciling dependencies across different contexts or configurations.

Yes, if you need basic dependency synchronization and are comfortable with a dormant package at beta maturity. Install friction is minimal and there are no known vulnerabilities. However, verify the actual license terms in the repository before use in commercial contexts, and check the documentation to confirm the package's synchronization scope matches your use case.

Install

dep-sync on PyPI

pip install dep-sync

uv add dep-sync

poetry add dep-sync

Installing dep-sync

Before you install

Low friction install with a single runtime dependency (packaging). Maintenance is dormant—no releases since first version on 2024-10-02, though the repository remains active with a recent commit on 2025-02-01.

License in practice

License treatment is unclear in the metadata; the description mentions MIT licensing, but this is not formally declared in the package metadata, so verify the actual license terms before relying on the package in a commercial or restricted context.

Quickstart

pip install dep-sync

import dep_sync
# See documentation at https://ofek.dev/dep-sync/ for usage patterns

Requires Python 3.8 or later; exact API and usage patterns are not detailed in the excerpt provided.

Verify before relying

• What specific synchronization operations does the package perform (e.g., comparing lockfiles, updating requirements, reconciling versions)?
• Does it work with standard requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, or other dependency formats?
• What is the actual MIT license text and how is it distributed with the package?
