> I don’t think it is possible to create a Python library that is not publicly available through pypi/pip, but can be installed in cloud functions Of course it is possible. You can set up your own PEP 503 [0] compliant repository, even unreachable outside your VPC, and use pip to install from it. One caveat: on GCF you can -- if I'm not mistaken -- only install Python-only libraries; but if you use Cloud Run you can install anything inside your container. There are servers for hosting your own PEP503 repo, such as devpi [1] -- but ultimately you only need a Web server to serve the file index.
