Pants

I’d love for people to be able to poke at it in the wild, esp outside of twitter.

Another constraint I have is a string of meetings for the next 3 hours.

<@U071M9KNE> et al: I think those should go in  ~/.cache/pants/

no worries, I’ll be pretty happy if its merged today.  I don’t think it’s a particular rush.

but not in  ~/.cache/pants/artifact_cache/

OK, I will do it later on unless  someone else beats me to it

<@U051221NF>: not ~/.cache/pants/python_cache?

we already put several things under  ~/.cache/pants/ that aren't the artifact cache

yes, you arrived at the same conclusion already

One thing to keep in mind, this local decision does not mean much

The RB does not change defaults in other words, just our own pants.ini

So at worst if we choose badly it sets a bad example

but I'm a tiny bit leery about doing so until we're sure we aren't corrupting those caches sometimes

```  File "/Users/pl/code/0.foursquare.web/src/python/foursquare/pants/codegen/scala_js_bundle.py", line 67, in register_options
    register('--runtime-deps', advanced=True, type=Options.list, default=[])

Exception message: type object 'Options' has no attribute 'list'```

Mateo and I are doing the pants upgrade internally today

What happened with the options interface?

which you import from custom_types directly

That "convenience alias" on Options was actually a bad idea (me--)

Having random code import Options was not ideal
