I'm not sure about conflict resolution when but I run a pip freeze it adds TONS of dependencies outside of the 2-3 I had in my app because those were the dependencies of my dependencies.

I think that is what you want. Having all your dependencies, including their dependencies, explicitly specified (including name and version) is what gives you reproducible builds.

Ruby does the same thing with Gemfile.lock. npm does the same thing with package-lock.json.
