Can I add comments to a pip requirements file?

I'd like to add comments for a few packages in a pip requirements file. (Just to explain why that package is on the list.) Can I do this? I'm imagining something like Babel==0.9.5 # translation CherryPy==3.2.0 # web server Creoleparser==0.7.1 # wiki formatting Genshi==0.5.1 # templating
Sure, you can, just use # pip docs: A line that begins with # is treated as a comment and ignored. Whitespace followed by a # causes the # and the remainder of the line to be treated as a comment.
