I've found using a
constraints.txt
file useful for locking the version for packages that I don't want upgraded even when there are new versions.I think it would be useful to document that "feature" in the README.
(however, it might even be useful to add an option (e.g.
pip-review --constraint FILE ...
) to specify constraints directly rather than relying indirectly on the behaviour ofpip install ...
)
