Has anyone done a pip install -r requirements.txt as part of the mix firmware build? I know I can add Python via Buildroot packages and I know the glorious future may include pythonx.
I suppose it is easier to do the pip install with the right environment while building the custom system? If the Python part changes a lot this would make for a lot of system churn which seems less nice.
I guess I could make a way to build the python env and deps on a running device/system and then package that up as it should then run on any matching system? Could be an artifact/archive in NervesHub or something to that effect.
I would be curious about what people have tried

Hey Lars, how did you eventually tackle this issue?

I think pythonx should cover the need outside of changing the nerves system. Even if you don’t use it to run the code (maybe you need more concurrency) I think you could start ports based on the uv setup from pythonx.
