PEP 751 got accepted! https://peps.python.org/pep-0751/ here's an example of how
pylock.toml
files look like https://github.com/brettcannon/mousebender/blob/pep/pylock.example.toml

to be clear, this is meant to replace
requirements.txt
files:
Currently, no standard exists to create an immutable record, such as a lock file, which specifies what direct and indirect dependencies should be installed into a virtual environment.
...
The closest the community has to a standard are pip’s requirements files which all the aforementioned tools either use directly as their file format or export to (i.e.
requirements.txt
). Unfortunately, the format is not a standard but is supported by convention.
@Deepyaman Datta will like this 😄

also bret said this was his last attempt, if the community couldn't agree he didn't have the energy to do another go

yeah totally understandable. I think Paul made the right call of approving this, the worst that can happen is that the new format doesn't take off.
