python-setup

A Python environment.

Backend: ``

Config section: [python-setup]

Basic options​

None

Advanced options​

interpreter_constraints​

--python-setup-interpreter-constraints="[<requirement>, <requirement>, ...]"
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_INTERPRETER_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[python-setup]
interpreter_constraints = [
    <requirement>,
    <requirement>,
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "CPython>=3.6"
]

The Python interpreters your codebase is compatible with. Specify with requirement syntax, e.g. 'CPython>=2.7,<3' (A CPython interpreter with version >=2.7 AND version <3) or 'PyPy' (A pypy interpreter of any version). Multiple constraint strings will be ORed together. These constraints are used as the default value for the interpreter_constraints field of Python targets.

interpreter_search_paths​

--python-setup-interpreter-search-paths="[<binary-paths>, <binary-paths>, ...]"
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_INTERPRETER_SEARCH_PATHS
pants.toml
[python-setup]
interpreter_search_paths = [
    <binary-paths>,
    <binary-paths>,
    ...,
]
default: 
[
  "<PYENV>",
  "<PATH>"
]

A list of paths to search for Python interpreters that match your project's interpreter constraints. You can specify absolute paths to interpreter binaries and/or to directories containing interpreter binaries. The order of entries does not matter. The following special strings are supported:

  • "<PATH>", the contents of the PATH env var
  • "<PYENV>", all Python versions under $(pyenv root)/versions
  • "<PYENV_LOCAL>", the Pyenv interpreter with the version in BUILD_ROOT/.python-version
  • "<PEXRC>", paths in the PEX_PYTHON_PATH variable in /etc/pexrc or ~/.pexrc

requirement_constraints​

--python-setup-requirement-constraints=<file_option>
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_REQUIREMENT_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[python-setup]
requirement_constraints = <file_option>
default: None

When resolving third-party requirements, use this constraints file to determine which versions to use. See https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#constraints-files for more information on the format of constraint files and how constraints are applied in Pex and pip.

resolve_all_constraints​

--python-setup-resolve-all-constraints=<ResolveAllConstraintsOption>
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_RESOLVE_ALL_CONSTRAINTS
pants.toml
[python-setup]
resolve_all_constraints = <ResolveAllConstraintsOption>
one of: never, nondeployables, always
default: nondeployables

If set, and the requirements of the code being operated on are a subset of the constraints file, then the entire constraints file will be used instead of the subset. If unset, or any requirement of the code being operated on is not in the constraints file, each subset will be independently resolved as needed, which is more correct - work is only invalidated if a requirement it actually depends on changes - but also a lot slower, due to the extra resolving.

  • never will always use proper subsets, regardless of the goal being run.
  • nondeployables will use proper subsets for ./pants package, but otherwise attempt to use a single resolve.
  • always will always attempt to use a single resolve.

Requires [python-setup].requirement_constraints to be set.

resolver_http_cache_ttl​

--python-setup-resolver-http-cache-ttl=<int>
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_RESOLVER_HTTP_CACHE_TTL
pants.toml
[python-setup]
resolver_http_cache_ttl = <int>
default: 3600

The maximum time (in seconds) for items in the HTTP cache. When the cache expires,the PEX resolver will make network requests to see if new versions of your requirements are available.

resolver_jobs​

--python-setup-resolver-jobs=<int>
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_RESOLVER_JOBS
pants.toml
[python-setup]
resolver_jobs = <int>
default: 32

The maximum number of concurrent jobs to build wheels with. Because Pants can run multiple subprocesses in parallel, the maximum total parallelism will be --process-execution-{local,remote}-parallelism x --python-setup-resolver-jobs. Setting this option higher may result in better parallelism, but, if set too high, may result in starvation and Out of Memory errors.

resolver_manylinux​

--python-setup-resolver-manylinux=<str>
PANTS_PYTHON_SETUP_RESOLVER_MANYLINUX
pants.toml
[python-setup]
resolver_manylinux = <str>
default: manylinux2014

Whether to allow resolution of manylinux wheels when resolving requirements for foreign linux platforms. The value should be a manylinux platform upper bound, e.g.: 'manylinux2010', or else the string 'no' to disallow.
