Pipreqs not idenitfying google cloud storage

[DominiquePaul]

I have an import that looks like this: from google.cloud import storage

the installation command with pip is: pip install google-cloud-storage

But the requirement google-cloud-stoage==2.7.0 is not added to requirements.txt

I love pipreqs, but I'm not sure how to deal with this as everytime I add it manually and want to regenerate the file the dependency is lost..

Is there a way to either:

1. Ensure that pipreqs can find google-cloud-storage OR
2. That I can manually add it to requirements.txt without it being overwritten (but other packages appended) and updated?

Thanks!

I have the same issue with bitcoinlib.

I think quite a few new packages are not identified properly, as it's been a long time since we updated the list.

Back when I first wrote it I parsed all the packages from PyPi repository to match the imports with the packages. I think a fresh parsing is needed, I'll take a look at it once I have some free time.

I always thought pipreqs works the other way around: Compare the list of used packages against the list of base packages? Would that not be easier to maintain? Each day there are new packages on PyPI...
