dependencies

Iterable[str] | None

default: None

Addresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib']. Alternatively, you may include file names. Pants will find which target owns that file, and create a new target from that which only includes the file in its sources field. For files relative to the current BUILD file, prefix with ./; otherwise, put the full path, e.g. ['./sibling.txt', 'resources/demo.json']. You may exclude dependencies by prefixing with !, e.g. ['!helloworld/subdir:lib', '!./sibling.txt']. Ignores are intended for false positives with dependency inference; otherwise, simply leave off the dependency from the BUILD file.

description

str | None

default: None

A human-readable description of the target. Use ./pants list --documented :: to see all targets with descriptions.

grpc

bool | None

default: False

Whether to generate gRPC code or not.

python_compatibility

str | Iterable[str] | None

default: None

A string for Python interpreter constraints on this target. This should be written in Requirement-style format, e.g. CPython==2.7.* or CPython>=3.6,<4. As a shortcut, you can leave off CPython, e.g. >=2.7 will be expanded to CPython>=2.7. If this is left off, this will default to the option interpreter_constraints in the [python-setup] scope. See https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-interpreter-compatibility.

python_source_root

str | None

default: None

The source root to generate Python sources under. If unspecified, the source root the protobuf_library is under will be used.

sources

Iterable[str] | None

default: ('*.proto',)

A list of files and globs that belong to this target. Paths are relative to the BUILD file's directory. You can ignore files/globs by prefixing them with !. Example: sources=['example.py', 'test_*.py', '!test_ignore.py'].

tags

Iterable[str] | None

default: None

Arbitrary strings that you can use to describe a target. For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run ./pants --tags='integration_test' test :: to only run on targets with that tag.
