dh-virtualenv is a tool that combines Debian packaging with self-contained virtualenv-based Python deployments. It lets you build .deb packages that bundle Python applications with their pip-installed dependencies inside a virtualenv.
Use cases
- package a python application as a debian package
- deploy python apps with virtualenv inside deb packages
- install python dependencies from pypi in a debian package
- build self-contained python deployments for ubuntu servers
- replace omnibus packaging with debian-native python packaging
When to choose
- you deploy to Debian/Ubuntu servers and want versioned, self-contained Python artifacts
- you want pip-managed dependencies instead of system Python packages
- your infrastructure already relies on apt and .deb packages
When to avoid
- you deploy with containers or wheels instead of system packages
- you need a Python version different from the OS interpreter
- you target non-Debian Linux distributions
