How to add local repository code to deploy?

🚀 Deployment
1

My app comes with some package code that needs to be installed. For example with

python setup.py install

or

pip install .

And I don’t want to add my github packgage URL to my requirements.txt file.

But when I deploy the app to the streamlit server it does not find the required libraries.

I tried adding a Procfile, but that did not work. Seems that is only for heroku.

Try adding a line to requirements.txt that is just a single dot (.) or -e . (which may be more handy in local development, as it will install the local package in editable mode.

Thanks, it just not best practice to add . to the requirements.txt. But it works. I guess, I should better separate the app code from the main library.

I agree that it’s a good idea to separate out the app code from the main library. One structure I tend to prefer, in the case where I have a python package that needs installed, and also a streamlit app to show it off is:

  • pyproject.toml
  • src/package_code/
  • demo_app/
    • streamlit_app.py
    • requirements.txt

Or:

  • pyproject.toml
  • src/package_code/
  • demo_app.py
  • requirements.txt

And then putting -e . in the requirements.txt so that it installs the package code along with 3rd party libraries I’m using.
