• Auto detect charset of requirements.txt file(s) and feed normalized dependency specs to poetry / uv.
• Stop on first poetry / uv add error.
• Ignore dependency version requirements specified in requirements.txt file(s).
• Ignore errors when installing individual dependencies.
• Pass arbitrary arguments to poetry / uv add after -- at the end of the command.

The package name on PyPI is poetry-add-requirements.txt or uv-add-requirements.txt, both are equivalent.

They both provide these 4 commands / executables: poeareq, poetry-add-requirements.txt, uv-add-requirements.txt, uvareq

poeareq is just a shorthand for poetry-add-requirements.txt, and uvareq is just a shorthand for uv-add-requirements.txt.

This is the fastest way to install, or use without permanent installation.

$ uv tool install poetry-add-requirements.txt

This is the recommended installation method.

$ pipx install poetry-add-requirements.txt

$ pip install poetry-add-requirements.txt

Run poetry-add-requirements.txt, optionally specify your requirements.txt files and --dev for dev dependencies.

poeareq is provided is an alias to poetry-add-requirements.txt.

$ poeareq --help

usage: poetry-add-requirements.txt [-h] [-D] [-I] [-i] [-n] [-p ...] [-V]
                                   [requirements.txt file(s) ...]

Add dependencies specified in requirements.txt to your Poetry project

positional arguments:
  requirements.txt file(s)
                        Path(s) to your requirements.txt file(s) (default:
                        requirements.txt)

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -D, --dev             Add to development dependencies (default: False)
  -I, --ignore-version-requirements
                        Ignore dependency version requirements in
                        requirements.txt file(s) (default: False)
  -i, --ignore-errors   Ignore errors (default: False)
  -n, --dry-run         Dry run, do not add dependencies (default: False)
  -p ..., --poetry-args ...
                        Additional arguments to pass to Poetry, put this at
                        the END of the command (default: None)
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit

Same as above, just change the command to uv-add-requirements.txt or uvareq (they are equivalent).

For examples, see test-extra-args.sh.

Tips:

• Put all req files before any options
• Put -p, --poetry-args at the end of the command
• Pass -n, --dry-run to see the poetry commands that would be run

Running uv-add-requirements.txt without extra args:

$ git clone https://github.com/tddschn/poetry-add-requirements.txt.git
$ cd poetry-add-requirements.txt
$ poetry install
