A single Python source file.
## <code>dependencies</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
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.
## <code>description</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
A human-readable description of the target.
Use `./pants list --documented ::
` to see all targets with descriptions.
## <code>interpreter_constraints</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
The Python interpreters this code is compatible with.
Each element should be written in pip-style format, e.g. `CPython==2.7.*
` or `CPython>=3.6,<4
`. You can leave off `CPython
` as a shorthand, e.g. `>=2.7
` will be expanded to `CPython>=2.7
`.
Specify more than one element to OR the constraints, e.g. `['PyPy==3.7.*', 'CPython==3.7.*']
` means either PyPy 3.7 _or_ CPython 3.7.
If the field is not set, it will default to the option `[python].interpreter_constraints
`.
See [Interpreter compatibility](🔗) for how these interpreter constraints are merged with the constraints of dependencies.
## <code>skip_autoflake</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run Autoflake on this target's code.
## <code>skip_bandit</code>

If true, don't run Black on this target's code.
## <code>skip_docformatter</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run Docformatter on this target's code.
## <code>skip_flake8</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run Flake8 on this target's code.

If true, don't run isort on this target's code.
## <code>skip_mypy</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run MyPy on this target's code.
## <code>skip_pylint</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run Pylint on this target's code.
## <code>skip_yapf</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>bool</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>False</code></span>
If true, don't run yapf on this target's code.
## <code>source</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>str</code></span> <span style="color: green">required</span>
A single file that belongs to this target.
Path is relative to the BUILD file's directory, e.g. `source='example.ext'
`.
## <code>tags</code>
<span style="color: purple">type: <code>Iterable[str] | None</code></span> <span style="color: green">default: <code>None</code></span>
Arbitrary strings to describe a target.
For example, you may tag some test targets with 'integration_test' so that you could run `./pants --tag='integration_test' test ::
` to only run on targets with that tag.
