Which python package manager is good for flask + angular related projects ? Mostly to handle dependencies. I have an Existing repo where everything is handled using pip and requirements.txt file manually
#🔒 pip vs poetry vs pdm vs any other package manager (for flask)

pip and poetry/pdm are very different things,
poetry and pdm are dependencies manager that both use pip for installing stuff (poetry is also an environment manager)
you basically dont really have neither a dependencies manager nor an environment manager if you just use pip
so what i'd recommend is either use poetry or pdm/pnpm with virtualenv/pyenv
(nvm from what i see pdm also includes pyenv so its very similar to poetry)

Yea, currently I m doing it manually using pip.
Which is more compatible for Flask + Angular ?
So I need to just manage the dependencies, I don't want to migrate everything
shrewd drift
there's no such thing as "more compatible" or not,
your flask project will work just fine with whichever one you use
having a dependencies manager over pip allows you to have a configuration of the dependencies needed by your project which you can use on another system or when deploying it
and poetry/pdm also allow you to have an isolated virtual environment so that your system python don't get polluted with dependencies that are unique to this project
basically, you have your main system python, and little forks of it which are isolated for each project on your system so they don't fight each other

I already have isolated virtual environment, created using docker.
My main goal is to just maintain the dependencies, without making any other changes
shrewd drift
well if your project is in a docker container, it's fine to simply use pip, but i'd advice you to pip freeze in a requirements.txt file so that you can pip install -r requirements.txt in your Dockerfile
i also use poetry when working with docker but that's simply out of habit
bleak epoch
Yea, right now that's how I am doing it. But while researching I heard that it's better to use package manager
shrewd drift
little tip with working with requirements.txt : instead of having static versions, you can use version specifiers
shrewd drift
Yea, right now that's how I am doing it. But while researching I heard that it's...
well poetry, pdm or pnpm are better, but you don't have to use them either
the main advantage of using them is having an isolated and reproducible environment
but docker already covers both
if someday you'd like to instanciate your project out of docker, having a dependency manager would be good though
bleak epoch
Ohhh, if my understanding is correct, ideally in my case I don't need dependency manager?
shrewd drift
while you do everything in docker, no you don't

Thanks mate

!pip pip-tools or uv should be used if you go with just pip. It can ensure your pinned dependencies are up to date.

pdm can also create a requirements.txt automatically via ```toml
[tool.pdm.scripts]
post_install = "{pdm} export --self --prod --without-hashes -o requirements.txt"
poetry too
poetry export --without-hashes -o requirements.txt
But poetry doesn't have a feature to run it automatically afaik
shrewd drift
But poetry doesn't have a feature to run it automatically afaik
na, but you can add that to have it done
https://github.com/Ddedalus/poetry-auto-export
(in docker he can simply add the export command after installing though)
