I'm thinking something along the lines of providing a virtualenv where the pure python packages the guest depends on are installed, but I'm unsure if that would work. Is this currently possible?
probably a question mainly for Joel :)
Joel Dice (May 23 2023 at 13:44):Yes, it can! If you're using pipenv to manage your dependencies, componentize-py should pick them up automatically: https://github.com/dicej/componentize-py/blob/a5437cf203321962df83afe449349e61762021a1/src/command.rs#L126-L153. For example the toml package is pure Python, so you can pipenv install toml and use it in your app with import toml, and componentize-py should bundle it automatically. If you're using a different tool to manage dependencies, you'll need to explicitly tell componentize-py where they are on the host filesystem using --python-path.
BTW, as of yesterday, you can now pip install componentize-py, which hopefully makes it easier to experiment with.
Ramon Klass (May 23 2023 at 14:18):oh that is good to know, having it on pypi is lowering the burden of entry greatly for my pythonic coworkers who are trying to get their feet wet ;)
Ramon Klass (May 23 2023 at 14:19):thank you, I'll try with pipenv :)
Brett Cannon (May 23 2023 at 22:47):@Joel Dice I would be careful about hard-coding installation tool support as pipenv is only one of multiple tools in the Python community (and it's not even the most popular).
Joel Dice (May 23 2023 at 22:48):Would you recommend removing that support or adding support for others (or both)?
Brett Cannon (May 23 2023 at 22:49):We can talk about it on Thursday; depends on how much work you want to do and if you want to try and keep up with the Python packaging ecosystem :sweat_smile:
