How can I add python-dev package to requirements.txt?

Question

I am trying add the python-dev package to my requirements.txt file, but I must be using the wrong package name. I have tried:

python3.7-dev

python-dev

py-dev

Requirements.txt is for python packages, you can't put an OS package in there. — jordanm, May 31 '22 at 15:40

If you want to install package at OS level you should seriously consider using a docker container to deploy/release your application.

Here is a snippet:

FROM python

RUN apt-get install python-dev
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
