python_source
A single Python source file.
Backend: pants.backend.python
source
strA single file that belongs to this target.
Path is relative to the BUILD file's directory, e.g. source='example.ext'.
dependencies
Iterable[str] | NoneNoneAddresses to other targets that this target depends on, e.g. ['helloworld/subdir:lib', 'helloworld/main.py:lib', '3rdparty:reqs#django'].
This augments any dependencies inferred by Pants, such as by analyzing your imports. Use /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants dependencies or /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants peek on this target to get the final result.
See https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.13/docs/targets#target-addresses and https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.13/docs/targets#target-generation for more about how addresses are formed, including for generated targets. You can also run /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants list :: to find all addresses in your project, or /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants list dir: to find all addresses defined in that directory.
If the target is in the same BUILD file, you can leave off the BUILD file path, e.g. :tgt instead of helloworld/subdir:tgt. For generated first-party addresses, use ./ for the file path, e.g. ./main.py:tgt; for all other generated targets, use :tgt#generated_name.
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 | NoneNoneA human-readable description of the target.
Use /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants list --documented :: to see all targets with descriptions.
interpreter_constraints
Iterable[str] | NoneNoneThe Python interpreters this code is compatible with.
Each element should be written in pip-style format, e.g. CPython==2.7.* or CPython>=3.6,<4. You can leave off CPython as a shorthand, e.g. >=2.7 will be expanded to CPython>=2.7.
Specify more than one element to OR the constraints, e.g. ['PyPy==3.7.*', 'CPython==3.7.*'] means either PyPy 3.7 or CPython 3.7.
If the field is not set, it will default to the option [python].interpreter_constraints.
See https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.13/docs/python-interpreter-compatibility for how these interpreter constraints are merged with the constraints of dependencies.
resolve
str | NoneNoneThe resolve from [python].resolves to use.
If not defined, will default to [python].default_resolve.
All dependencies must share the same value for their resolve field.
run_goal_use_sandbox
bool | NoneNoneWhether to use a sandbox when running this target. Defaults to [python].run_goal_use_sandbox.
If true, runs of this target with the run goal will copy the needed first-party sources into a temporary sandbox and run from there.
If false, runs of this target with the run goal will use the in-repo sources directly.
The former mode is more hermetic, and is closer to building and running the source as it were packaged in a pex_binary. Additionally, it may be necessary if your sources depend transitively on "generated" files which will be materialized in the sandbox in a source root, but are not in-repo.
The latter mode is similar to creating, activating, and using a virtual environment when running your files. It may also be necessary if the source being run writes files into the repo and computes their location relative to the executed files. Django's makemigrations command is an example of such a process.
skip_autoflake
boolFalsepants.backend.experimental.python.lint.autoflakeIf true, don't run Autoflake on this target's code.
skip_bandit
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.banditIf true, don't run Bandit on this target's code.
skip_black
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.blackIf true, don't run Black on this target's code.
skip_docformatter
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.docformatterIf true, don't run Docformatter on this target's code.
skip_flake8
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.flake8If true, don't run Flake8 on this target's code.
skip_isort
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.isortIf true, don't run isort on this target's code.
skip_mypy
boolFalsepants.backend.python.typecheck.mypyIf true, don't run MyPy on this target's code.
skip_pylint
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.pylintIf true, don't run Pylint on this target's code.
skip_pyupgrade
boolFalsepants.backend.experimental.python.lint.pyupgradeIf true, don't run pyupgrade on this target's code.
skip_yapf
boolFalsepants.backend.python.lint.yapfIf true, don't run yapf on this target's code.
tags
Iterable[str] | NoneNoneArbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run /home/josh/work/scie-pants/dist/pants --tag='integration_test' test :: to only run on targets with that tag.
