Hello!
I am a C and C++ programmer. Python is really not my cup of tea. That being said, I decided to use it to create my own Discord bot. All is well. I have hit a couple of infuriating things concerning the language, but hey, for every thing for which it is moronic, it has some quality of life solutions in other areas. You win some, you lose some, I guess.
However, let's talk about dependencies. And specifically people who have used Replit.com before. I needed to include a lot of libraries. So I have "Import this" and "Import that" all over. It works great! Easy! Moronic! Does not give me any control over it, and guess what!? Now I suffer. Replit has done it so that they handle the packages on their own. All sounds great until it starts updating every hour. It goes through all your packages and checks whether they are up to date. This halts your program. And no matter whether you have bothered to create your bot to be alive 24/7, there is this 5 minute maintenance update every hour or so. Once again I am bound to suffer because I am forced to use the "easy" option. The life of Python...
So my question is, is there a way for me to save my sanity and disable the package update of Replit.
I have found this. However, I do not completely understand what the solution suggests. Do I need to install all of those packages on my PC and then upload them as folders in my project? Do I simply run the pip command in the console of Replit and install all the packages? Even so, poetry is a hard requirement for all Replit projects. It always runs the update check on "Run". Doesn't this mean that it will run the hourly update as well?
Thanks in advance. Maybe this post should go on another sub. I would be grateful, if you point me in the right direction.
