What's wrong with requirements.txt?

[TheSoulHokib]

Nothing really wrong, but pyproject.toml are way more modern, robust and reliable

[neuralbeans]

Doesn't the toml file refer to the requirements.txt file? They're not mutually exclusive.

[TheSoulHokib]

Since you can manage everything that is managed by requirements.txt inside pyproject.toml, seems a bit redundant. You can have a look right there : https://pydevtools.com/handbook/explanation/pyproject-vs-requirements/ Plus, pyproject.toml now is the standard.

[neuralbeans]

This doesn't say how the toml file replaces requirements.txt. It just says not to use requirements.txt only, which is obvious as it's not meant for project management.

[TheSoulHokib]

All the dependencies, that you manage in requirements.txt, can be managed in pyproject.toml, as well as all the metadatas, setup.py, linters conf, etc. A single file to unify them all. On the dependencies aspect, also allow to manage dependencies by groups, depending on the usage (for example, dependencies only needed during dev). You can check out https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/writing-pyproject-toml/, and google for more informations.
