It is a best practice to manage Python packages using a requirements.txt file. This file lists all necessary packages and their versions to run your code reliably.
Keeping this file up to date ensures:
- All required packages are installed.
- Only compatible package versions are used.
When deploying to your Stackhero instance, the packages specified in requirements.txt are automatically installed.
To generate or update requirements.txt, run the following command after installing new packages:
pip freeze > requirements.txt
