verified Apr 16, 2026

Creosote is a Python command-line tool designed to identify unused dependencies within a project's virtual environment. It helps prevent bloated environments by scanning Python files for imports and comparing them against the declared dependencies in various specification files like `pyproject.toml`, `requirements.txt`, PDM, and Pipenv. As of version 5.2.0, it is actively maintained with frequent releases, typically on a monthly to bi-monthly cadence.
