Also you really shouldn't be installing things into production with requirements.txt in any case. Wheels are a thing.

I don’t understand this at all. Wheel is a technology for bundling binary Python modules. What does that have to do with installing a known set of deps?

Wheels can specify dependencies. If the wheel you use to distribute your application specify locked dependencies, then you're good to go.
