Description:

Python-inspector is an open-source tool to resolve Python dependencies without requiring additional builds and installs, or depending on the runtime operating system and Python version.

The development of Python-inspector grew out of a need to resolve dependencies on demand and anywhere. pip (unfortunately) does not support resolving dependencies without installing or building them. These installations and the underlying dependency resolutions are only for the current Python version and runtime used to run pip, and that may not be the target version or OS we need to resolve the dependencies.

In this talk, Tushar will demonstrate how to use Python-inspector in your own projects to more easily resolve Python dependencies.
