1 year ago This would however make startup of the service slower.
How slow compared to having to pull a larger image in the first place may be a question to explore (build time slowness not worth worrying about compared to per-restart)
Build time slowness is preferable over pull time slowness is preferable over restart time slowness

In order to prevent the bloating of the size of the base image/complaints & possible confusion from having to have dependencies on seemingly irrelevant code, it would be beneficial if naming a module (which exists on pypi) in the config would fetch and install that module prior to attempting to get plans/devices from it. This also means that a list of such modules would only need to be maintained per-beamline, rather than per-beamline and also centrally in pyproject.toml.
