What do I have to put into pyproject.toml so that pip saves dependency ranges by default?
1 comments

So pyproject.toml will be used by uv and others, like poetry. Pip uses a requirements.txt for depandancy management.

Using uv as an example[0]:

uv add "tqdm >=4.66.2,<5"

I don't have access to uv to test that command at the moment, but that should work. uv then installs the dependency in the .venv directory in the project directory. This may include a specific version of python as well, if you pin one.

As I already replied to another user, I know that this exists, and it doesn't have anything to do with my point. So sadly your suggestion doesn't help in any way.
