That’s why you should use a build server and not ship build environments.
Which we do.
I don’t see how that’s tedious since a compute does that for me. Although I don’t see any value at wheeling them (and some packages cannot be wheeled); my CI builds a venv and puts it into a container. There’s nothing tedious about it at all.
I find the idea of running throwaway environments to generate a big blob of tarball'd python+libs, then copying said tarball to actual containers, a rather retrograde step by comparison with established package/build infrastructure tools.
It's a real shame that binary wheels on Linux/PyPI aren't a thing.
This is incorrect
Apparently so. The info JP provided was very useful.
