Python packages installed by the Data Scientist are not persistently stored in the WSUSER home directory like in RStudio

When a runtime environment is stopped, the installed Python packages are also deleted. And you have to install the packages again when starting the runtime environment or after starting by Python program. This can take a long time for some packages. It would be better, as with RStudio, if the packages were stored persistently in the WSUSER home directory.

    Hi Snehal,

    thx for your answer. What exactly is the architectural difference between RStudio and Notebooks/JupyterLab? As far as I know Jupyterlab have also a persistent folder, where data and notebooks are stored? Why not for pyhton packages?

    Could you please technically explain why this is not possible? The option "https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=pip-customizing#pip-from-service-storage" need CPD admin role which not every data scientist have

    RStudio has a different architecture with home folders for user. Notebooks and JupyterLab doesn't have this and we do not plan to introduce it. Instead there is already a way for CPD admins to store python customization in shared folders - https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.0?topic=pip-customizing#pip-from-service-storage

    Hi Snehal, thanks for the answer. Creating a custom image always requires the intervention of an administrator. We would like to run the analytical applications on CP4D as a self service platform, where the data scientist can install and manage the packages themselves. Is there a reason not to store the Python packages in the home directory - like in RStudio? In RStudio the Data Science colleagues manage the packages with renv and the packages are stored in the wsuser home directory.

    User can use custom images to avoid Installing packges with runtime start.
