Seems similar to the features offered by pip-tools [1] and pip-review [2].

If you want to automate updating your requirements file, take a look at requires.io [3].

pip-tools and pip-review just look at your installed dependencies and upgrade them, they don't update your requirements.txt file.

Upgrading packages doesn't work for me because I need my build scripts to do the upgrade. For example, when installing some packages which have C bindings they fail unless certain flags are set correctly.

Requires.io is cool, I personally use Gemnasium [1] for the same thing. However, both tools don't update your requirements.txt file for you, they just notify you when you need to update it.

If you use requires.io with Github, it can optionally make a PR to update your requirements.txt for you.

Requires.io costs money to do a PR to private repos right?
