Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

Path to a lockfile used for installing the tool.
Set to the string `<default>
` to use a lockfile provided by Pants, so long as you have not changed the `--version
` and `--extra-requirements
` options, and the tool's interpreter constraints are compatible with the default. Pants will error or warn if the lockfile is not compatible (controlled by `[python].invalid_lockfile_behavior
`). See https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/release_2.12.1/src/python/pants/backend/python/subsystems/setuptools.lock for the default lockfile contents.
Set to the string `<none>
` to opt out of using a lockfile. We do not recommend this, though, as lockfiles are essential for reproducible builds.
To use a custom lockfile, set this option to a file path relative to the build root, then run `./pants generate-lockfiles --resolve=setuptools
`.
As explained at [Third-party dependencies](🔗), lockfile generation via `generate-lockfiles
` does not always work and you may want to manually generate the lockfile. You will want to set `[python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore'
` so that Pants does not complain about missing lockfile headers.
