In my experience, the only point of friction is the code being worked on, which I pip-install in a virtualenv inside the container in "editable" mode. This lets code changes on your local machine be reflected immediately in the applications running inside the container. I asked for advice on this scenario here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2016-March/028478.html If your virtualenv is outside of "/code/", then your third-party dependencies shouldn't need to be reinstalled. Only the "editable" installs should need to be reinstalled after mounting your directory, which is the scenario I asked about above. --Chris _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
