Would it be possible to generate requirements.txt file? #1063

Would it be possible to generate requirements.txt files in parallel with / from the pyproject.toml and poetry.lock files? This would allow people to work with non-poetry installations and make it easier (for some, at least) to deal with problems like the one I came across here (https://github.com/mxcube/mxcubecore/issues/1061).

@rhfogh, for confirmation, what would you like to see in this requirements.txt file?

Only the direct dependencies with loose version constraints as in pyproject.toml?
All dependencies, including indirect dependencies with pinned versions as in poetry.lock?

@marcus-oscarsson Not sure I know enough to give a good answer. Basically that you can put those requirements.txt files to pip or conda, get a full installation that way, and get something that works. In my normal way of working I would generally be happy with loose constraints and only pin versions if there was a specific reason that things would break otherwise. But you guys, understanding the installation procedure better than I do, might have something to say, here.
