pip freeze
will output a list of current packages and their requirements. I have one

blocking installation as the false requirement wasn't available.
Is there a way to modify that output (which would be piped to, for example,
requirements.txt) to have
pip install -r requirements.txt
so pip ignores that one (and only that one) dependency?
I'd just edit the file afterwards and delete the line. But if the
package claims to need PyXML, it'll still be installed.
Exactly my point. Is there any way, requirements.txt or otherwise, to tell pip to ignore what a certain package is
claiming it needs?
I am aware of --no-dependencies, but that (I think) is an all-or-nothing approach, whilst [1] I desire an all-except-one
approach.
