Hello everyone, what is the best way to package a python environment within a deployment using Prefect? • Should I package a venv within my Prefect directory (

/.venv

where all my dependancies are installed for instance) and push to, say, a s3 storage block? Will the agent use this environment? • Should I use the new project related

pip_install_requirements

pull step within my

prefect.yaml

file? In this case, can I pass a

pyproject.toml

or

poetry.lock

instead? • Should I make sure that, whatever happens, my agent runs into a python environment that shares the same dependancies as my deployment? • Is there another way I don't see? 🤔

I think it depends on your use case. If you want to run your flows in a container you can add a requirements.txt file when making a container-based deployment with a prefect.yaml file. If you are kicking off your flows using a process worker (basically a typed agent) you can just make sure it has the packages installed that are needed by your deployment.
