Instead there's a scary deprecation warning when a package uses setup.cfg, which is another declarative replacement for setup.py. And some pyproject.toml features are still experimental per the setuptools docs, so I'm not sure whi

You don't need a separate image. You can run a script to install a rootless systemd service that starts the Docker daemon. You just point the Docker client to that rootless daemon's socket and do things as before. You'll need

Does that job involve constant creativity, or is it more about applying existing knowledge? I have no idea, but the amount of knowledge that law students need to cram in a few years makes me think it's a lot of the latter.

The PyTorch wheel comes with its own CUDA DLLs, they can’t be shared with other libraries but they won’t be your problem to install that way.

We do a lot of deep learning and image processing and pip works much better for us. PyTorch makes wheels that contain all reauired DLLs on all systems. Maybe conda isn’t needed anymore.

Fundamentally, it has smart pointers and std::make_unique now, which means I never have to touch a raw pointer in most of my code. They can even be adapted to wrap Win32 objects. That's a huge improvement and I don't mind using C+

All we do is ML and image processing. We use huge libraries like PyTorch, ones with insane packaging like OpenCV, and things are so stable I haven’t felt the need to introduce version pinning yet. Maybe you’re using recent less-stable proje

Venv, yes. My Dockerfile's build stage creates a venv and installs all our dependencies (some of which need compilers because they are source wheels that need to link with C++ libraries). Then I copy the venv over to the release stage

I just use venv but don’t fix dependencies. We often develop new packages and fixing every dependency’s version sounds like unnecessary effort. With sensibly written setup.cfg files, we just “pip install” all our packages with no issues. Pi

Isn't that the same as adding version constraints to setuptools' setup.cfg? [1] pip will use these in its dependency resolver. You can also constrain the Python version in there if you want. [1] https://setuptools.pypa.

Pickle isn't transparent though, custom objects that wrap files or database sessions need to override serialization. The ProcessPoolExecutor is nice but shouldn't be necessary.
