Support multiple requirement.txt files with different names

[BrendanSimon]

It would be great if your extension could support requirement.txt files with different names.

As an example I have two files in my repo to support a target embedded system and the host development system.

pip_requirements_target.txt
pip_requirements_dev.txt

I vscode setting to specify a list of valid requirement file names (regex/glob) would be nice :)

setting = [ "*requirements*.txt", "my_stupid_req_file_name.txt" ]

Maybe [ "*requirements*.txt" ] could be the default?

Hey! So actually this extension doesn't look at the filename – it activates for all files that VS Code determines to be of type pip requirements. That detection is built neither into VS Code, nor into PyPI assistant – it's actually handled by Microsoft's official Python extension for VS Code. I've found Microsoft's extension to do a pretty good job generally (detecting also things like requirements.in or requirements-dev.txt), but if it doesn't support a use case like pip_requirements_dev.txt, I suggest creating an issue in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues

oh ok. I will see if any of the built in detections work for me. If not then I will open an issue on the vscode-python repo.
Thanks, Brendan.

I suppose this is resolved? If not, feel free to reopen with details!
