Creating Python pip bundle with my projects

Question

I am developing some apps which depends on one of them. I see pip can create bundles. I have all my projects source in one dir.

How to create bundle for these projects and then install in other Ubuntu system? probably I should use virtualenv. Is it possible to have one virtualenv for all of them?

Answer 1

To create a bundle, use something like:

pip bundle <name of bundle>.pybundle -r requirements.txt

where requirements.txt contains your list of apps to install. Or you can create a bundle with a single app (why?):

pip bundle <name of bundle>.pybundle <my app>

Then, on the other system, to install your bundle, you use:

pip install <name of bundle>.pybundle

Note the .pybundle extension for your bundle - you need this for pip to recognise it - install the bundle without an extension didn't work for me.

However pip bundle has been deprecated in 1.4 release and it will be removed in 1.5 release, see change log
