I created the requirements.txt with pip freeze > requirements.txt. Some modules show the @file..... instead of the version #. What does it mean and why it show?
Conda: 4.8.3
Here is the result of requirements.txt. e.g. astroid, flask-admin, matplotlib shows "@ file" below

Finally I plan to deploy app in Heroku, so I thought that requirements.txt may be required.
This is a special syntax (supported since pip 19.1) to install packages from VCS repositories :
package_name @ git+https://githost/<repo>.git@<commit_id>
See https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#requirement-specifiers and https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/#direct-references
