Can't get privy to work

[EricDriussi]

Hi there!

I'm having some trouble getting privy to work, though I'm not super familiar with python deps management.

I was following the docs on how to handle secrets.
Since no specific instruction is given on installation, I followed some suggestions I found around the web to use uv, although if a different tool/approach is suggested I'm happy to use that instead.

So as per instructions, I went:

uv init
uv add privy
pyinfra -y inventory.py deploy.py

But when importing privy in group_data/all.py, it doesn't seem to be visible to the runtime:

--> Loading config...
--> Loading inventory...
--> An exception occurred in: .../group_data/all.py:
...
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'privy'

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here or if I'm just too python-iliterate, either way any help would be great!

When you installed pyinfra with uv tool install pyinfra, it runs in an isolated environment separate from your project where privy is installed. Install pyinfra in your project with uv add pyinfra, then run uv run pyinfra -y inventory.py deploy.py instead of pyinfra -y .... The uv run prefix ensures pyinfra uses your project's environment where privy is available.
