How to build a project wheel with pinned dependencies?

Hi!

I'm using polylith in a system together with uv and hatchling. One thing I'm struggling with is that, while in development I end up with a uv lock file for development (at the root), I haven't figured out a way to have a lock file for each project so that I can get wheel distributions with pinned dependencies. The reason why this is a problem for me is that I end up with a non-deterministic build process, and yesterday I had issues with this because my local environment was working fine but not my staging environment because of diverging dependency versions.

So how can I lock each project with its own lock file, to ensure deterministic builds, while not having to forcefully pin each dependency in pyproject.toml?

Thanks!

Hi @diogobaeder! I think that one way to accomplish this is to opt-out of the uv workspaces feature (if you use that) and have separate uv.lock files that are updated individually.

Another option is to export the project-specific deps before building the wheel. I think that you can do something like this:

# running from the folder of a project.

# export the dependecies
uv export --no-emit-project --output-file requirements.txt

#build the distribution (wheel/sdist)
uv build --out-dir ./dist

When installing the wheel (example from a Dockerfile):

# Install with no deps. Removed other useful standard pip install flags in this example
RUN pip install --no-deps the-built-wheel-from-before.whl

# install the third-party deps separately
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

I am not yet using uv myself that much, so I might have missed out on something. Please let me know if you find anything missing, and if this suggestion works 😄

Awesome, thanks man! I'll give those a try. I'm using Tilt locally, to develop multiple services together, so what you explained above is very helpful. Cheers!
