Ohhh now I get it. It's basically like package.json and package-lock.json in node, but for Python.

It's a bit strange to me that this isn't the default in Python...

I don't quite understand that. I did some research, and I read that the requirements.txt is somehow generated from requirements.in. But what is the difference between the two files then? Could you give me an example of what a requirements.in file would look like?

Thank you!

That looks really convenient, especially when installing and switching Python versions. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

What should I use instead? pyproject.toml?

I am pretty new to Python so I'm not very familiar with the ecosystem yet...
