hey all! is there a way to get Prefect to Pickle flows including dependencies?

Not at the moment. Might be possible in the future due to this

cloudpickle

change

yea i keep hitting walls running containers and Flows that are like

from something import thing

with Flow(...):
   thing()

then i get

No module named 'something'

all the time and am hacking the Docker containers like mad to get the

something

installed using

pip install -e something

if you have any workarounds, that'd be amazing!

Clone and pip install the repo as an ENTRYPOINT of your container

Thats a good idea, but a couple downsides i can imagine with that: • super slow flow startup time for a flow? • need to inject a SSH key to clone a private repo, somewhere?

Current Prefect does not have that

😢
