Is there a faster way to add one new package to requirements and recalculate lockfile than "generate-lockfiles"? Something similar to what tools like poetry or pdm have (e.g. pdm add). The "manually add to requirements.txt and generate-lockfiles" workflow takes very long in our case, and it doesn't change at all during subsequent runs

We use

pip-compile

to go from

<http://requirements.in|requirements.in>

to

requirements.txt

, then feed the

requirements.txt

to

pex3 lock

, and tell Pants to not check for lockfile metadata. You can also sandbox these tools inside of Pants: https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1665169182762299 And of course, a nice script that invokes both 🙂
