Hi there! I’ve been messing around with flox some at home and at work and I’m really liking what I see. For context I work at a startup that is hiring a few junior data engineers/analysts and I want to use this tool to help manage the environments they work in. Historically that’s always been a mes…

Hi, glad to hear it! If you’re happy with poetry, that’s a great way to do it. If you want to automate steps 3 and 4, you could add those commands to a hook, e.g. flox edit -e project-a and add: shell.hook = '' poetry init poetry add export PATH="$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH" ''; Sounds like that’s…

@mkenigs Thanks! That’s super helpful :slight_smile:

I’m trying to do something and running into difficulties. In order: I have a pyproject.toml: [tool.poetry] name = "flox_poetry" version = "0.1.0" description = "" authors = ["Me"] [tool.poetry.dependencies] python = ">=3.8,<3.11" numpy = "^1.19" requests = "*" [tool.poetry.group.dev.dependenci…

Hi @robertodr , I’ll need to get back to you on the use of poetry with your example, but in the meantime I wanted to provide you with a solution that does not use poetry, but instead employs the Nix/flox “native” way of providing a version of python configured with the packages/modules you listed in…

Thanks for the example. It works nicely, as long as the Python packages are in pythonPackages, which, very sadly, doesn’t cover my use case. Would it be possible to use poetry2nix in a flox expression?

Hi @robertodr - could you let us know which specific Python packages are missing and we can look to get these added?

These are the dependencies blocks in the pyproject.toml my team and I are working with: [tool.poetry.dependencies] python = ">=3.8,<3.11" scipy = "~1.9" qiskit = "^0.39" cma = "^3" joblib = "^1.1" qiskit-nature = "^0.4" pyscf = { version = "^2.1", optional = true, markers = "sys_platform != 'win32'…

I see the dilemma - thanks for sharing the list. Yes there are several packages in that list missing from nixpkgs pythonPackages. I tried to incorporate your list of packages and found the following missing or otherwise not working (“#” indicates missing, “####” indicates requirement for custom pack…

Thanks for checking which packages are and which are not in nixpkgs. I could have done due diligence myself, sorry for the laziness :sweat_smile: I think both pyscf and qiskit should be package-able for aarch-64: my team mates build the wheels from source on their M1 mac machines. qdldl also appear…

Howdy, I’ve been chipping away at packaging the missing packages over the last few days and wanted to share my progress. For context you’ll notice some packages on this list weren’t included in the original list because they are required to build some other package, but aren’t “runtime dependencie…
