DevHome should support Python requirements.txt in the configure machine for repo flow

[vra]

Suggested new feature or improvement

In the machine configuration document, it said, "Install applications, clone repositories, and add all of the requirements for a new development project". However, when clone a python repo with a requirements.txt in it, Dev Home just clones it and then do nothing. Is it possible to create a virtual enviroment, and install all depdencies in requirements.txt or pyproject.toml after cloning, by setting up a configuration file,

Scenario

Python repo with a requirements.txt or pyproject.toml

Good feature request. Dev Home currently only understands WinGet Config files, see https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/package-manager/configuration/create

@asklar
Are there any example files for WinGet Config file to create a virtual environment and install dependencies in requirements.txt?

[asklar]

winget config doesn't know about python/pip. But you can write a winget config (DSC) file that calls a script such as pip install, see the link I shared above.

There are also sample configurations in this project.

We're working on a DSC resource for pip3.
We will most likely share it under the DSC Community.

is there an expected time for the release of DSC resource for pip3?
