This project is actively seeking maintainers

:bulb: A move to https://github.com/jazzband might lighten the load.

I'm not sure anyone is super actively using this project. If the jazzband folks want to take it over, I'd be fine transferring it.

[jhermann]

I found these possible alternatives:

• https://github.com/toxinu/requirements (2016)
• https://github.com/sarugaku/requirementslib (current)
• https://github.com/requirements/rparse (2015)

If you find the time, maybe you can take a look (at the requirementslib one) and judge on how they compare to your code / features and add a recommendation to the README.

Just came across this project and it fits my needs perfectly (requirementslib looks overkill).

Happy to help with maintenance when required.

requirementslib also doesn't actually parse requirements.txt files. The closest I got was:

>>> [requirementslib.Requirement.from_line(l) for l in open("requirements.txt")]

but that crashes on, for example, comments:

pip._internal.exceptions.InstallationError: Invalid requirement: 'numpy  # the venerable numerical package'

[jgarte]

I'd be happy to help with maintenance of this package also. I could use it for a project I'm currently working on that needs to parse a requirements.txt file.

I transferred the project to @madpah who is taking on maintenance. Hopefully the project continues well and feel free to collaborate.
