OpenStack [...] to produce the ubiquitous Open Source Cloud Computing
platform that will meet the needs of public and private clouds regardless of size, by being simple to implement and massively scalable. [...]

Centralized requirements
For every requirement file Main Tests Extra
For every requirement file Direct & Transitive
For every requirement file Internal & Third-Party
Not editable mode (-e)
Not external source (-f)
CI Job forbidding untracked requirements
minimum Working version
No Dependency Caps
Requirements Constraints
1 2 3 4 Does it have an acceptable license?
Is it Py3 compatible? Is it actively maintained? Is it packaged already? 5 Does something similar exists already? Ask yourself these questions
... Or you can just ignore this ...
1 2 3 4 Use the minimum version possible Avoid
dependencies that don’t do semver Capping is not always good Favor things on PyPi 5 Keep track of transitive dependencies Summary-ish
