Hi,

I use gunicorn in my venv

I have quite few venv that run gunicorn.

I would like to reuse gunicorn for other venv

I launch my web application like this

#PWD = venv dir
source ./bin/activate
gunicorn A_WebApp:app
#A_WebApp is my python file A_WebApp.py

I supposes that gunicorn is a shell program ? if yes I should use $PATH ?
or gunicorn is a Python program only ? and then what I should do to use gunicorn in another venv ?

Thanks.

Wouldn't enabling the --system-site-packages flag during venv creation do exactly what the OP wants, provided that gunicorn is installed as a system package (e.g. with the distro's package manager)? https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html

Sharing packages between venvs would be a dirty trick indeed; though sharing with system-site-packages should be fine, AFAIK.

Hadn't considered that. It might be the solution @SpongeB0B@programming.dev is looking for. Good shout.
