# Fast Python virtual environments on [Apptainer](https://apptainer.org/)

I use it to install dependencies that may be tough to install on my NixOS environment.

How to fetch the image:

```

$ apptainer pull https://github.com/bast/apptainer-venv/releases/download/0.7.0/venv.sif

```

## Usage

- Reads: `requirements.txt`

- Creates: `venv` (folder)

Run `myscript.py` inside the virtual environment defined by `requirements.txt`:

```

$ ./venv.sif python myscript.py

```

Open python shell inside the virtual environment defined by `requirements.txt`:

```

$ ./venv.sif python

```

## Acknowledgements

- To build the image, I have used

  [this wonderful guide](https://github.com/singularityhub/singularity-deploy) as starting

  point and inspiration.
