Pipreqs not including all packages?

Question

I currently have a conda environment tf_gpu and I pip installed pipreqs in it to auto generate requirements.txt

Now, in my project folder, I have app.py with the imports :

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from flask import Flask, request
from predict import get_recs
import urllib.request

Also, predict uses pandas, scipy, numpy, pickle

So, but the requirements.txt generated by pipreqs using pipreqs ./ inside the project folder only gets me the following:

Flask==2.1.3
numpy==1.23.3
pandas==1.4.4
scipy==1.9.1

Why is python-dotenv not included? It isnt a standard library right? So what's happening here?

No idea. This question is probably out of scope for StackOverflow anyway. You can ask on [_`pipreqs`_ ticket tracker](https://github.com/bndr/pipreqs/issues). Maybe you can also try with [_`pigar`_](https://pypi.org/project/pigar/) instead. — sinoroc, Oct 10 '22 at 12:58
Was `python-dotenv` installed with `conda`? Are you sure `pipreqs` lists packages installed with `conda`? — phd, Oct 10 '22 at 14:10
pipreqs does miss packages, and will also add non-sensical ones. — Fabien Snauwaert, Feb 11 '23 at 11:54

According to the open issues in the GitHub repo, some packages don't map well. You could try opening an issue for this package.
