Question

wave Hello everyone I m exploring flyte as a potential tool for my team and have a question I can t seem find an answer to Is there any mechanism for configuring the python runtime environment for a task Other tools I ve explored have allowed me to pass in a list of packages or a requirements txt and I m looking for something similar

Yee · Answer

there is currently not though this is something I would love to spend time thinking about

Yee · Answer

it wouldn t be too hard to build this out as an extension perhaps a script that runs that installs everything before the task is run

Yee · Answer

but that s inefficient or you can somehow detect changes to these requirements and build images for each

Yee · Answer

but that gets flyte into image building which is not something we quite have the resources to tackle atm

Thanks for the response Creating my own image isn t the worst thing in the world but yeah passing in a list of packages would be convenient

Yee · Answer

i will plug however that if your requirements don t change you don t have to rebuild each time

Yee · Answer

as long as you re just updating your code that is shipped separately and auto installed before running
