Give it a try and you will see why it could be the final solution to the problem ❤️

I did try it. It is really good! 👍🏼

I feel that after the phase of diversification and exploration, python packaging is now undergoing unification and selection.

Heck, there's even a standard for lockfiles around the corner!

I predict that next year around this time, python packaging is going to be a no-brainer.

🤞I hope so, this has been a pain for too long. 🥲

Isn’t docker the correct way to setup an isolated env for your Python app? Packaging is just about the only good use case for containers.

rafaelcaricio.eu•69 days ago

You should not install Python at the system level, never. Even inside containers. System level Python might break things or create conflicts even inside Docker. The probability is lower, but still can happen and it is a headache to debug

rafaelcaricio.eu•69 days ago

This is valid if your Docker is based off any Linux distribution that leverages system Python. I think all of them do… though

Your posts were so depressing. I couldn't reply. I prefer the specific python containers. You just add your project to it, give it the requirements.txt and be done with it. The container filesystem is the virtualenv.

Am I wrong to do so? What are the best options for a Python app ~dev~ maintainer?

Don't say the best option for a Python programmer is to become a go dev 🙃

😅 Sorry, didn’t want to trigger negativity. But I had such problems in the past with Python at the system level inside Docker container and conflicting. I don’t think there’s anything “wrong”, but it is risky. I think it is simple enough to create a venv inside the container and run with it.
