Requirements

In the readme-website directory, there are two requirements files:

• requirements-local.txt: This requirements file specifies the bare minimum requirements and uses ~= to match the latest patch of the library.
• requirements-host.txt: This requirements file is what's used in the production Docker build, and should contain a full pip freeze of a working environment.

Currently the following dependencies are in requirements-local.txt:

• Django: self-explanatory
• gunicorn: used in production deployment
• Markdown: used for uploading articles
• pillow: needed for Django

When in your virtual environment for local development, run pip freeze | diff requirements-host.txt - from time to time. If any differences are printed, this indicates staging and prod are now using an out-of-date version of some library. Confirm that your local copy is working fine with the latest version, and if so, update requirements-host.txt to match your pip freeze.
