python_requirement_library

---

Python requirements installable by pip.

This target is useful when you want to declare Python requirements inline in a BUILD file. If you have a requirements.txt file already, you can instead use the macro python_requirements() to convert each requirement into a python_requirement_library() target automatically.

See https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/python-third-party-dependencies.

requirements

Iterable[str]

required

A sequence of pip-style requirement strings, e.g. ['foo==1.8', 'bar<=3 ; python_version<'3'].

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.

module_mapping

Dict[str, Iterable[str]] | None

default: None

A mapping of requirement names to a list of the modules they provide. For example, {"ansicolors": ["colors"]}. Any unspecified requirements will use the requirement name as the default module, e.g. "Django" will default to ["django"]`. This is used for Pants to be able to infer dependencies in BUILD files.

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.
