I have to disagree here: I don’t want build tools of any kind in my final containers therefore I build my artifacts separately no matter what language. Of course you can just build the venv on your build server without wheeling up a temporary container and then package it using Docker or DEB or whatever. You should be separating building and running anyway so Python – as much as I’d like Go-style single binaries too – is in no way special here. The nice thing about temporary containers though is that I can do all of that on my Mac. —h _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
