Managing environments#
You can also update, list, or delete Python environments.
Updating environments#
You can update an existing software environment by calling create_software_environment with the name of the software environment you want to update and the new specification for the software environment.
If the inputs to create_software_environment have changed since the last time it was called for a given software environment, the corresponding software environment will be rebuilt using the new inputs and any future uses of the software environment will use the updated version. Repeated calls to coiled.create_software_environment() with the same inputs are a no-op; to override this you can set force_rebuild=True.
You can’t update the software environment being used on an already running cluster. The cluster must first be closed and then restarted to use any updates made to a software environment.
Listing environments#
The coiled.list_software_environments() function will list all available
software environments:
coiled.list_software_environments()
There is also a account= keyword argument which lets you specify the account
which you want to list software environments for.
Deleting environments#
The coiled.delete_software_environment() function can be used to delete
individual software environments. For example:
coiled.delete_software_environment(name="alice/my-conda-env")
will delete the software environment named “my-conda-env” in the Coiled account named “alice”.
