Hi all, We ran into issues when trying to install flytekit in the same environment as our project dependencies. Our project has strict requirements (for example protobuf < 3.20), but flytekit depends on protobuf >= 3.20. We also saw conflicts with other libraries like numpy and tensorflow. To work around this, we separated into two environments: 1. Root .venv – contains only flytekit. We run pyflyte run from here. 2. Task-specific venvs (src/tasks/.../.venv) – contain our project dependencies (protobuf, tensorflow, numpy, etc.). Each Flyte task calls these environments via subprocess so they run with the correct libraries. This works for us, but feels a bit complex. Is there a recommended pattern in Flyte for handling dependency conflicts like this? Currently, I am only running flyte locally.
