Python: Managing Python packages
This documentation is part of the Advanced usages guide. View the full guide here: Going further with your Python deployments.
👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!
Stackhero provides a ready-to-use Python cloud solution designed to streamline your deployment process:
- Deploy your application to production in seconds with a simple
git push.- Use your own domain name, with automatic HTTPS certificate configuration for secure connections handled for you.
- Rely on automatic backups, one-click updates, and predictable pricing, so you can focus on your code, not infrastructure management.
- Benefit from strong performance and security on a private, dedicated infrastructure. Your environment is isolated and protected.
Save time and simplify your workflow: you can have your code running with Stackhero's Python cloud hosting in just 5 minutes.
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
