Known issues

gotchapylibyear expects a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml file; it does not analyze Pipfile or poetry.lock.

fix

Generate a requirements.txt via pip freeze or use pyproject.toml.

affects: >=0.1.0

gotchaThe CLI requires an active internet connection to query PyPI for each dependency.

fix

Ensure network access; no offline cache is available.

affects: >=0.1.0

deprecatedThe --output-file option may write to a non-existent path without warning (fixed in 0.4.1). Upgrade to avoid silent failures.

fix

Upgrade to 0.4.1: pip install --upgrade pylibyear

affects: <0.4.1
