I don't think requests is used?

Stripe seems to requires it internally, or at least think it does https://github.com/stripe/stripe-python/blob/master/setup.py

I am not familiar with python, but shouldn't stripe be responsible for specifying the requests version in that case?

Stripe specifies the minimum version (0.8.8) . . .
Looking into this a little more and I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like when pip is reading a requirements.txt, it'll detect transitive dependencies, but pip freeze makes no distinction.

Here are some people exploring the same issue http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9232568/identifying-the-dependency-relationship-for-python-packages-installed-with-pip
On the bright side, specifying everything explicitly in requirements.txt seems to be a best practice: "Requirement files are mostly flat. Maybe MyApp requires Framework, and Framework requires Library. I encourage you to still list all these in a single requirement file" https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/1.1/requirements.html

Agree about specifying explicitly, I'm familiar with that

Does this mean we should also have a setup file and make this a pip package? Is requirements.txt a pip-only thing?

I'd just opt for pip install -r requirements.txt locally? Maybe I'm missing the context of your question tho

This is Python2? Pretty sure stripe works with python3, is there a reason for not using it?

We commit to being compatible with Python 2.6+, Python 3.3+ and PyPy

That's because I didn't know this is python2 only :) I will change it.

Cool, don't think it matters hugely but I tend to shoot for 3 if possible!!

We should note that this is a test amount and to expect the actual denomination in the post request object.

Is this a requirement? Or is there additional info we're collecting?

Maybe a suggestion to use virtualenv?

Apache is good with me, but is there a reason to not use nginx?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think for actual deployment we will use nginx. I was testing on my VM that uses Apache, so I wrote Apache instructions.
