For those of us using "pip-compile" to pin our Python dependencies, you may have run into the limitation that it can't generate a single "requirements.txt" for all needed Python versions / OSes [1].
"pip-compile-cross-platform" is meant to be used exactly like "pip-compile", while providing better results. This allows projects to get the benefits of better pinning logic without having to make the more-significant migration to a tool like "poetry" [2] (which is what "pip-compile-cross-platform" uses under-the-hood )
