It would be nice to have a plugin that would look up package info from the upstream repo for detected packages with no package info.
In the case of a Python requirements.txt, this file contains something that looks like this:
flit==3.0.0
simplejson==1.0.0
We would enhance the Python package plugin to parse a requirements.txt file and then look up the package info based on the detected name and version of each dependency listed in requirements.txt and return license, copyright, and other data for that package. This saves us time by not having to open the requirements.txt file and looking up the info ourselves, and manually entering the data into our worksheet. With a plugin like this, we can collect all missing package data, then dump the data to the csv or other output without having to look up the packages manually.
