PyCon Pune 2018

Managing requirements for a python project is a very critical task. It involves creating constraints, making sure that indirect dependencies do not break and at the end of the day its packages are available. This can be handled manually or with some automation with small number of projects. We will see how it can be handled at complete python based cloud operating system OpenStack with hundreds on dependent python projects.
