py-constraints

./pants py-constraints [args]

Determine what Python interpreter constraints are used by files/targets.

Backend: pants.backend.python.mixed_interpreter_constraints
Config section: [py-constraints]

Basic options

`output_file`

--py-constraints-output-file=<path>

PANTS_PY_CONSTRAINTS_OUTPUT_FILE

default: None

Output the goal's stdout to this file. If unspecified, outputs to stdout.

`summary`

--[no-]py-constraints-summary

PANTS_PY_CONSTRAINTS_SUMMARY

default: False

Output a CSV summary of interpreter constraints for your whole repository. The headers are Target, Constraints, Transitive Constraints, # Dependencies, and # Dependees.

This information can be useful when prioritizing a migration from one Python version to another (e.g. to Python 3). Use # Dependencies and # Dependees to help prioritize which targets are easiest to port (low # dependencies) and highest impact to port (high # dependees).

Use a tool like Pandas or Excel to process the CSV. Use the option --py-constraints-output-file=summary.csv to write directly to a file.
