Prefect Community

Does anyone have a working example of this sentence from the docs: “Package your scripts up into a true <https://realpython.com/python-modules-packages/|Python package>. You will most likely need to use the `COPY` instruction to put your package into the image, and then the `RUN` instruction to install it.”

I just went through this myself. I have a directory of python files called `flows` that contains some custom Task subclasses. What I did was add a file called `flows/setup.py` based on this template <https://github.com/pypa/sampleproject/blob/master/setup.py>, and then in my dockerfile I run `COPY flows flows` and then `RUN python flows/setup.py install`

The setup.py looks like this
```from setuptools import setup

setup(
    name='&lt;some name&gt;',
    version='1.0.0',
    description='Prefect flows for DBT',

    packages=["flows"],
    python_requires='&gt;=3.7',
)```


Since you aren't publishing the package it can be pretty basic
