Poetry Plugin: Bundle

This package is a plugin that allows the bundling of Poetry projects into various formats.

Installation

The easiest way to install the bundle plugin is via the self add command of Poetry.

poetry self add poetry-plugin-bundle

If you used pipx to install Poetry you can add the plugin via the pipx inject command.

pipx inject poetry poetry-plugin-bundle

Otherwise, if you used pip to install Poetry you can add the plugin packages via the pip install command.

pip install poetry-plugin-bundle

Usage

The plugin introduces a bundle command namespace that regroups commands to bundle the current project and its dependencies into various formats. These commands are particularly useful to deploy Poetry-managed applications.

bundle venv

bundle venv

The bundle venv command bundles the project and its dependencies into a virtual environment.

The following command

poetry bundle venv /path/to/environment

will bundle the project in the /path/to/environment directory by creating the virtual environment, installing the dependencies and the current project inside it. If the directory does not exist, it will be created automatically.

By default, the command uses the same Python executable that Poetry would use when running poetry install to build the virtual environment. If you want to use a different one, you can specify it with the --python/-p option:

poetry bundle venv /path/to/environment --python /full/path/to/python
poetry bundle venv /path/to/environment -p python3.8
poetry bundle venv /path/to/environment -p 3.8

Note

If the virtual environment already exists, two things can happen:

• The python version of the virtual environment is the same as the main one: the dependencies will be synced (updated or removed).
• The python version of the virtual environment is different: the virtual environment will be recreated from scratch.

You can also ensure that the virtual environment is recreated by using the --clear option:

poetry bundle venv /path/to/environment --clear
