python - Pip freeze for only project requirements

Question

When I run pip freeze > requirements.txt it seems to include all installed packages. This appears to be the documented behavior.

I have, however, done something wrong as this now includes things like Django in projects that have no business with Django.

How do I get requirements for just this project? or in the future how do I install a package with pip to be used for this project. I think I missed something about a virtualenv.

Answer 1

pipreqs can save the day for a specific project. Just

pip install pipreqs
#then
pipreqs path/to/project
