👋 Hi everyone! I I have a question about Python venv, when running

pulumi new python

in a new project, the command automatically creates

venv

folder, and installs all the requirements. Is there anyway to specify a custom venv folder instead of the default one ? Say I need to set it to

.venv

. I know how to alter it after running the command, what I need is to alter it before or during the command. Thanks

I believe the docs here might be what you are looking for

Thanks for the doc, but it's not good, the doc describes exactly what I encountered,

pulumi new python

creates automatically

venv

and install all the dependencies, and we can only alter it after all the installation which is too late. I created this issue on their repo.

I believe you can disable the behaviour or change the directory in the pulumi config:

This behavior is controlled by the following virtualenv runtime option in Pulumi.yaml:

runtime:
  name: python
  options:
    virtualenv: venv
virtualenv is the path to a virtual environment to use.

Is this not what you want? I might have misunderstood your problem

yes, not possible for the moment, as the config file

Pulumi.yaml

is generated by

pulumi new

too. I got an update from a pulumi maintainer in above issue, maybe it will be possible soon.
