03/05/2025, 12:37 PMprefect.yaml file is used to define deployment configurations. You can specify dependencies directly in this configuration file using the requires keyword, which installs necessary packages during deployment steps. This means you don't necessarily need a separate requirements.txt file if you specify dependencies in prefect.yaml.
However, if you prefer using a requirements.txt file, you can still include it in your deployment directory and use a custom script in the build section of prefect.yaml to install dependencies from it.

If you need to install the pydantic[email] extra, you can include it in the requires section or in your requirements.txt.lucian

03/05/2025, 12:38 PMrequirements.txt file with the necessary dependencies, you can include the packages you need for your project. Here's a basic example that includes the pydantic[email] extra:
pydantic[email]
prefect
If you have additional dependencies, you can add them to the list. Save this content in a file named requirements.txt in your project's root directory. This file can then be used to install dependencies using pip install -r requirements.txt.
If you have more specific requirements or additional packages, feel free to share, and I can help you customize it further.lucian

This is why including pydantic[email] in your requirements.txt or specifying it in the prefect.yaml file under the requires section is necessary if you need it for your project.

The job_variables feature is used to pass variables to the job infrastructure, but it might not directly handle pip_packages in the way you're using it.
To specify Python packages for installation during deployment, you should include them in the prefect.yaml file under the requires section or use a requirements.txt file and ensure it's referenced properly in your deployment script.
For more detailed guidance on customizing deployments and using job variables, you can refer to the Prefect documentation on customizing deployments.
