Bazel rules for creating Python virtual environments.

See example/ for an example.

Installation

Add the following to your WORKSPACE.

(Note: see the releases page for release-specific WORKSPACE config)

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "rules_pyvenv",
    strip_prefix = "rules_pyvenv-main",
    url = "https://github.com/cedarai/rules_pyvenv/archive/main.tar.gz",
)

These rules require a recent version of Python 3.6+ and rules_python. The environment is built using the venv library that ships with the Python standard library. If using the system-provided Python on Debian/Ubuntu, you may need to run

apt install python3.8-venv

On Windows, you need to enable symlink support.

Example

$ cd example
$ bazel run //:venv env
$ . env/bin/activate
