This has indeed been eye opening. We got bit by a dependency problem in which TensorFlow started pulling in an incompatible version of protobuf. After reading these comments, I don't think that pip freeze is quite what we want, but poetry sounds promising. We have a relatively small set of core dependencies, and a bunch of transitive dependencies that just need to work, and which we sometimes need to update for security fixes.

Why do you think that `pip freeze` wouldn't be what you want? (I once had the exact same issue with TF and protobuf and specifying the exact protobuf version I wanted solved it.)
