<!-- Greeting --> Hi @jesperbagge! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I’m helping the superset team. <!-- Answer --> This is a known breaking change in Superset 5.0.0 Docker images. The image now creates a Python virtual environment at `/app/.venv` using `uv venv /app/.venv` and sets the PATH so that `/app/.venv/bin` is first, making this venv the default for `python` and `pip` commands. However, the package manager switched from `pip` to `uv`, and `uv` is installed system-wide, not inside `/app/.venv`. If you install Python packages using the system `pip` or outside `/app/.venv`, they won't be available at runtime, leading to `ModuleNotFoundError` for packages like `authlib` or database drivers ([details](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/32186), [UPDATING.md](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/UPDATING.md), [Dockerfile](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/Dockerfile)). To extend the image and install additional Python packages, use either `uv pip install <package>` or `/app/.venv/bin/pip install <package>` in your Dockerfile or bootstrap script. This ensures the packages are installed in the environment Superset actually uses. Removing `/app/.venv` works as a workaround but is not recommended unless you have a specific need to bypass the venv. There's also a known issue where the `superset` package is installed both in `/app/superset` and `/app/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/superset`, which can cause confusion and bloat, but removing `/app/superset` does not break functionality ([reference](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/34120)).
