tao-run-on-virtualenv

separate

Run a Python training/eval script directly in an existing local virtualenv — no docker, no container. Implements the four-verb consumer contract (submit/status/logs/cancel) over a vendored process-lifecycle runner with durable on-disk state, PID-reuse-safe identity, and process-group cleanup. Use for docker-free local execution, plain-Python model scripts, fast HPO/AutoML trial smokes, or hosts where containers are unavailable. Trigger phrases include "run in my venv", "no docker", "virtualenv execution", "local python training", "run this training script directly".

When to use

• The workload is a **plain Python script** (its dependencies pip-installed in
• **No docker** on the host, or container startup cost isn't worth it (fast
• Single node only. For TAO container actions use `tao-run-on-docker`; for

When not to use

• TAO container actions
• cluster execution
• multi-node workloads
• Docker-based execution
• Kubernetes execution
• Slurm execution
