How can I use pip-tools for advanced package management?

Pip-tools is a set of command-line tools to help you keep your requirements files up to date. What specific features are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in how to manage multiple environments.

You can use pip-tools with different requirements files for each environment. For example, create a requirements-dev.in for development and requirements-prod.in for production.

How do I generate the requirements.txt files from these?

You can run pip-compile requirements-dev.in to generate requirements-dev.txt and similarly for production. This will resolve dependencies and create a locked file.

Can I automate this process?

Yes, you can automate it using a CI/CD pipeline to run pip-compile whenever you push changes to your repository.
