[BangPypers] Do you pin your requirements.txt ?

[Abdul Muneer]

I also pin requirements. But when I do 'pip freeze', I remove the packages
that are installed as a dependency to main libraries which were explicitly
installed.

Packages from pypi may specify dependency as ">=" and it will fetch the
latest. But if you had pinned those too, it can cause conflicts especially
if you upgrade the main component. Had run into issues because of this
while working on a pylons project.
