I tried a few things myself, like fpm[1], rpmvenv[2] and lately pex[3] - but so far, I haven't found something, that I would call solid and simple. We have constrained deployment environments that do not allow most of the tools, that would ease the process on a development machine. Basically, I need a deb or rpm. I have some hopes to wrap a pex into deb/rpm, but I would not call this approach simple. That's unfortunate since Python is a wonderful language for many data-sciency tasks - Python makes things possible and pleasant, that would be a pain in other languages. * [1] https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm * [2] https://github.com/kevinconway/rpmvenv * [3] https://pex.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ * Another tool: https://github.com/spotify/dh-virtualenv
