Python - pip install --no-deps

[andormarkus]

Hi All,

In the current implementation when we want to create a lambda python package there is no option to use '--no-deps' flag.
If you want to run 'pip install --no-deps' than you have to go through the 'commands' option.

It would be great if the following TF variable could be added to the code
'pip_requirements_no-deps' defaults to 'false'.

Thanks,
Andor

Hi @andormarkus !

This addition would make sense if python would be the only supported language and if there would be no other flags individual users may want to provide to pip. Also, there can be multiple sources provided.

It is much better for us (maintainers) to allow any customization using commands.

Closing this issue.

I too would like to pass --no-deps to pip as we are using poetry to manage project dependencies and fully generate the requirements.txt file so pip's dependency resolver is not needed.

How about adding a pip_args variable to allow passing arbitrary arguments to pip? Would a PR providing this be accepted?

Using commands prevents usage of the build_in_docker feature which is kind of a blocker for us.

Edit: I've opened #311 instead.
