Description

Some apps/artefacts run in the "current" environment (e.g., streamlit). In the case that they also have an environment definition (e.g., requirements.txt ) we could do a few things:

  • check whether the app is runnable, if those requirements are met
  • install things first
  • make a new venv to run the thing in

It would be nice to see implementations of each of these options, and a way to choose.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Streamlit apps and requirements.txt environment definitions are handled in the current environment. Compare the requested strategies—checking dependencies, installing them, and creating a new venv—and define how a caller would choose among them. Done means the alternatives and their selection mechanism are implemented and their runnable behavior is verified.
