Description

I want the pipreqs library itself to the requirements file, but without importing it anywhere. Is there any way to do this? Also, I'd rather not add it manually.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry point. First inspect how pipreqs discovers imports and writes requirements.txt, then clarify whether an explicit dependency source is expected. Done would require a defined behavior for including unimported libraries and a corresponding documented or tested result.
