Hey! These docs are for version 2.8, which is no longer officially supported. Click here for the latest version, 2.18!

A tool for finding security issues in Python code (https://bandit.readthedocs.io).

Config section: [bandit]

Basic options

skip

--[no-]bandit-skip
PANTS_BANDIT_SKIP
default: False

Don't use Bandit when running ./pants lint


args

--bandit-args="[<shell_str>, <shell_str>, ...]"
PANTS_BANDIT_ARGS
default: []

Arguments to pass directly to Bandit, e.g. --bandit-args="--skip B101,B308 --confidence"


Advanced options

version

--bandit-version=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_VERSION
default: bandit>=1.7.0,<1.8

Requirement string for the tool.


extra_requirements

--bandit-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_BANDIT_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
default:
[
  "setuptools",
  "GitPython==3.1.18"
]

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.


lockfile

--bandit-lockfile=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_LOCKFILE
default: <default>

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_2.8.1rc2/src/python/pants/backend/python/lint/bandit/lockfile.txt 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=bandit.

Lockfile generation currently does not wire up the [python-repos] options. If lockfile generation fails, you can manually generate a lockfile, such as by using pip-compile or pip freeze. Set this option to the path to your manually generated lockfile. When manually maintaining lockfiles, set [python].invalid_lockfile_behavior = 'ignore'.


console_script

--bandit-console-script=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_CONSOLE_SCRIPT
default: bandit

The console script for the tool. Using this option is generally preferable to (and mutually exclusive with) specifying an --entry-point since console script names have a higher expectation of staying stable across releases of the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.


entry_point

--bandit-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_BANDIT_ENTRY_POINT
default: None

The entry point for the tool. Generally you only want to use this option if the tool does not offer a --console-script (which this option is mutually exclusive with). Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.


config

--bandit-config=<file_option>
PANTS_BANDIT_CONFIG
default: None

Path to a Bandit YAML config file (https://bandit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html).


Deprecated options

None
