 #### DevContainer Sessions and Package Management
 
-Current implementation of devcontainers bakes requirements.txt packages into the image. However, devcontainers have the concept **user session** in which devs interacting with source code from within the container can exit the container and return to the running container without losing their session state and without rebuilding the container. Therefore, new changes made to the requirements.txt outside the user session are by default not detected upon resuming the session. To activate detection of [requirements.txt](../requirements.txt) changes and package syncronization, take advantage of devcontainer's [**poststartcommand**](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/devcontainerjson-reference) feature with the following command as a value.

A clean package environment requires a docker rebuild of the devcontainer. Docker rebuilds are recommended when experiencing issues with python packages during a devcontainer **user session**.
