Setting requirements for Python

[berayb]

Hi,

I'd like to deploy via the REST Api with requirements.txt file. Is that supported for REST Api deployment ?

Thanks,

[rabbah]

The rest api accepts a zip file. The zip file may contain a requirements file. But the “client” has to create the zip file first.

Hi, @rabbah I am a beginner in whisk dev and I would like to send a PR for this issue if no one else is working on it.

Hi, actually the newer runtimes for python does have support for compilation. Adding support for requirements.txt is a matter of adding a pip install -r requirements.txt here:

openwhisk-runtime-python/core/python3ActionLoop/bin/compile

Line 59 in 90a8e85

# in general, compile your program into an executable format

and I planned to add this feature in the next PR where I clean a few bugs and use the latest runtime.

@ezio-auditore am I understanding correctly that you'd like to enhance the python runtime to perform the pip installation?

if so, I'll transfer this issue to the python runtime repo and @sciabarra can provide you with pointers for how to implement this - the project welcomes contributions. Thank you for your interest.

@rabbah it would be great, thanks.

[sciabarra]

I can do it and I will do it also soon but I have some other stuff in my workload. A few days.

@sciabarra So as I understand, this update will support requirements.txt as a parameter instead of making zip file ?

[rabbah]

@sciabarra is this now supported with the new version of the runtime?

[sciabarra]

So the init time is even longer? It is one line of code (if exists requrements.txt pip install -r) in compile if you need it.
