Python Parameters

Pip, Pipenv, Poetry 

Note the following:

  • Make sure that the project directory contains at least one Python extension file (it can be located in any directory, not only in the root directory).

  • The Unified Agent runs the command 'pip download  -r requirements.txt' for every 'requirements.txt' file that it finds within the project directories (the file can reside either in the root or in a nested directory).

  • In some scenarios, the Unified Agent might skip pyproject.toml files and print a DEBUG log entry about it. For more information, please refer to the known limitations page.
