Managing requirements.txt

This project uses pip-tools and pur to manage the requirements.txt file.

To add a Python dependency to the project:

• Add the dependency to requirements.in

• Run make requirements

To upgrade the project, run:

make upgrade
make install
make test

Or in a single call: make upgrade install test

Django will only be upgraded with patch-level versions. To change from e.g. Django 3.0 to 3.1, update the version in requirements.in yourself.

Note

Typically, code changes are required when upgrading to newer Django versions. For example, some feature could be deprecated by the newer Django version. For this reason, third-party modules also need to be upgraded and might add more breaking changes that need to be addressed before the Django upgrade is complete.
