Description

Right now, we provide `requirements.txt`, `requirements.server.txt` and `requirements.client.txt`. We also have `.[dev]` and `.[server]` dependencies in the `pyproject.toml` file.

Do we need/want to pin down exact dependencies somewhere? Should we do that in a lockfile generated via `pip freeze`? Or should we instead get rid of `requirements.txt` and distribute a Docker image?

What's the canonical way for users to install a package along with a specific frozen list of its dependencies?

Research direction

Start by reviewing requirements.txt, requirements.server.txt, requirements.client.txt, and the dependency declarations in pyproject.toml. Compare the proposed approaches—pip freeze lockfiles, removing requirements files, and distributing a Docker image—and define the canonical installation path before making a change.
