You mean "-r"?

Probably.

Python is my favorite language by far, but I’ve not worked in it daily for many months.

-r pulls requirements from a file, line by line.

-e means editable, it's mostly used for source installs of libraries you want to work on while installed in a project.

My mnemonic for the "-r" flag is to just remember that k8s gets it right:

"kubectl apply -f myfile" ("apply file ...")

and pip stacks two verbs together in a silly way:

"pip install -r myfile" ("install read ..."??)
