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
