It's a hassle to do this correctly and upgrade the dependencies. Use poetry.

pip freeze > requirements.txt
That only generates a lock file. When you want to upgrade some of your dependencies and recalculate the correct versions, it doesn't help.
How's that an issue? Here's an example of what happens: https://gist.github.com/robertlagrant/23489d8970ef6b49960307...
Someone else already responded. It's a one-line command.

I never could get poetry to work right; it's configs are sort of messy. pip freeze > requirements is built in. The only thing it doesn't pin is the python version itself.

As explained elsewhere in this thread, the one line command only generates a lock file. This doesn't manage the dependencies so if you want to upgrade cool-lib and recalculate all the transient dependencies so they fit with the rest of your libraries, you cannot afaik.

Bad non-solutions being built in are a bad thing.
