plette
Structured Pipfile and Pipfile.lock models.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need to work with Pipfile or Pipfile.lock files programmatically. Low install friction, permissive license, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. The Planning classifier is a minor signal of early-stage status, but the repo is actively maintained and the API is stable enough for practical use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.7 or later.
- Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (tomlkit).
- Actively maintained with recent commits; marked as Planning status in classifiers but repo is not archived and receives updates.

What it is and what it does
Plette is a library for working with Pipfile and Pipfile.lock files—the dependency manifests used by pipenv—in a structured, programmatic way. It provides parsers to read these files into Python objects and generators to write them back out, so you can inspect, modify, or create dependency specifications without manual string manipulation. The library depends only on tomlkit for TOML handling, keeping the install footprint small.
The package is actively maintained and supports Python 3.7 through 3.10. It carries an ISC License, which is permissive. An optional validation feature is available if you need stricter checking of Pipfile structure, though the fact sheet does not detail what that entails.
Use it for
- Parse an existing Pipfile or Pipfile.lock to programmatically inspect or audit package dependencies.
- Generate or modify Pipfile entries from within a tool or script that manages Python environments.
- Build dependency-management automation that reads and writes pipenv configuration files.
- Validate Pipfile structure before committing or deploying it to ensure correctness.
