Is there a way to get directory package dependencies in python?

Question

I am aware that pip freeze > requirements.txt exists, yet that that prints out my system packages, of which only a few my directory/ project needs.

I am not using a virtualenv so I'm pretty sure I can't print out local packages like that.

I also know that pipdeptree exsists but I also don't see how that solves my problem?

pip freeze > requirements.txt generates a single list of the specific packages used by your current Python interpreter (which can be a venv + base interpreter) on which pip is installed. While if you use setup.py the install-requires can list the minimum requirements. Basically your question is how to generate requirements minimum dependencies of the project and not from the current interpreter/venv. I don't know if that is possible using pip. See this question and this one. — bad_coder

I believe tools like the following could help:

As far as I can tell, these tools read the code in the directory and try to figure out the dependencies required based on the import statements they found in the code.
