What about the opposite case? I have several python packages with one requirements.txt each. But for development I want to have a single “root” virtual env?

In that case it seems like you could just have one all_requirements.txt that includes the individual files like:

  -r package_a/requirements.txt
  -r package_b/requirements.txt
etc.

yes I get it. Good point.

Is bazel also a good choice for managing the virtual environments of my developers? Do you have any examples?

At this point I would say no, but work is in progress to improve in this respect [1].

At my place of work we use some rules [2] to build virtual envs from Bazel dependencies. It's been a great stop-gap for us and allows us to use traditional Python tooling (e.g. PyCharm) with Bazel-managed dependences.
