3. Do not include the venv folder. Otherwise that happens. 1. No. Use a base image with Python (bento by default uses that anyway) and u can specify the dependencies in requirements.txt. The docs cover this quite well. 2. This is handled by bentoml and done via the entrypoint so unless you're doing some super customised you don't have to worry about it

even when not including the .venv folder it doesn't progress any further 😕

Is it in the local dir?

How can I explicitly exclude it? Do I do that in the bentofile.yaml?

Yup

okay that did the trick!

Lol you're very welcomed ☺️
