Explicitly install and track setuptools, pip versions

Both to solve the immediate issue and to pin and track setuptools and
pip version to avoid similar problems in the future, we explicitly add
setuptools and pip versions to every virtualenv

infra_virtualenv README

This repository provides a common Python virtualenv interface that infra code (such as chromite) can depend on. At this point, it is experimental and not yet used in production.

Virtualenv users should create a requirements.txt file listing the packages that they need and use the wrapper scripts (described below) to create the virtualenv and run commands within it.

To add packages to this repository, run:

$ pip wheel -w path/to/pip_packages -r path/to/requirements.txt

Commit the changes and make a CL.

For example for chromite, from within chromite/virtualenv, run:

$ pip wheel -w pip_packages -r requirements.txt

Wrapper scripts

This repository contains two scripts for working with Python virtualenvs.

venv_command runs a command in a virtualenv environment. This is more convenient than having to start a shell and source bin/activate. For example, to start Python inside the virtualenv:

$ venv_command path/to/venv python

create_venv creates or updates a virtualenv using a requirements.txt file.

$ create_venv path/to/venv path/to/requirements.txt

Here’s a complete example:

$ echo mock=2.0.0 > requirements.txt
$ ./create_venv venv requirements.txt
$ ./venv_command venv python
