Udi Meiri commented on BEAM-9797:
---------------------------------
Another thing you can do in tox is specify the Python version, removing the
need to check for versions in pull_licenses_java.py.
> license_script.sh calls pip install/uninstall in local env

> Key: BEAM-9797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-9797
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build-system
> Reporter: Udi Meiri
> Priority: Major
>
> File is:
> https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/master/sdks/java/container/license_scripts/license_script.sh
> The problem is with the code that does pip install and uninstall.
> 1. It is not okay to modify the local environment.
> 2. Running this script in parallel with itself (on Jenkins) has a chance to
> cause a race.
> The solution is to use a tox environment to run this script in. Tox will take
> care of creating a virtualenv with the required dependencies.
