The package was written in a few languages that I have no experience with, but I figured I'd build something that worked for my use case, and maybe it can help you, too. After installing, you point it at your requirements.txt file, and it will spit out something like this:
----
File caching enabled The following packages need to be updated:
requests: 2.28.0 -> 2.31.0 [minor]
- Pypi page: https://pypi.python.org/project/requests/
- Homepage: https://requests.readthedocs.io
- Changelog: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/community/updates/...
redis: 4.5.0 -> 5.0.1 [major]
- Pypi page: https://pypi.python.org/project/redis/
- Homepage: https://github.com/redis/redis-py
- Changelog: https://github.com/redis/redis-py/blob/master/CHANGES
----
Unlike some pip tools that will show you every single package that's outdated, this focuses only on the top level packages you have in your requirements file.
I'd love any feedback! Thanks for your time.
