Disable automatic pip install

[fvillemin]

Hello,
I’m trying to use a python package called interactions-py to make a Discord bot and when I start my Repl, it automatically installs another package for Discord with poetry.

Is it possible to disable the automatic pip install with poetry on a Python Repl ?
Thanks

There’s supposed to be a toggle for it in .replit, but it doesn’t work. Here’s the workaround:

@Firepup650

If you don’t need the auto-package guessing/importing, you can do this:

@Firepup650

run this in Shell:

@Firepup650

rm -rf .upm && touch .upm && chmod 000 .upm

I’m not certain, but this may break the packager. Even if it does, you can always just use poetry directly from the Shell.

Friendly reminder that this does break the Packages tool.

Thanks for your message
I’ll try it even if i would prefer keeping Packages working

Even though it breaks the packager, you can still use poetry directly from the Shell, which is what the packager calls under the hood. (It calls upm, which calls poetry)

You can actually tell the packager (upm) which specific package to import, so you don’t have to break the packager.

@NuclearPasta0

The configuration doesn’t work so you’ll have to either:

1 - If possible, tell upm explicitly which package to import with a comment

import pygame  #upm package(pygame-ce)

Edit: replit has fixed the configuration:

Python: Problem with new template

Hey all! We have recently released a patch that allows these two fields to be applied to the .replit file: # Stops the packager from installing packages when running the Repl disableInstallBeforeRun = true # Stops the packager from guessing and auto-installing packages, but it still runs to install packages when running the Repl disableGuessImports = true

Python: Problem with new template

Hey all! I was able to reproduce the issue and let the team know. I believe this is to do with our new Modules system that encapsulates configuration for languages such as Python onto our own infrastructure. This seems to prevent users from configuring the packager in the .replit file. I will follow up once I have an update.
