PEP 508 details the Dependency specification for Python Software Packages. This would add support for things like initializing a project from requirements files, offer more robustness with less typical specifiers, and more.
Motivation
Makes onboarding easier
Can improve on current state of environment reproducibility
Better integrates with useful standards that make other features less relied on
Requirements
Allow init-from-requirements
Allow to-requirements (TODO: Is this worth it?)
Allow better requirements specification support (cc #833)
Think about SHA-256 digests for transitive deps and more reproducibility work
