Is there a built-in way to just read

python_artifact

kwargs from

setup.cfg

or do I need to write a plugin for that?

Read them by whom and for what purpose? to use in a Pants generated setup.py for example?

Yeah so my

setup.py

is just the following two lines:

import setuptools
setuptools.setup()

And that will pull everything in from the

setup.cfg

file. But in my

BUILD

file if I do

provides=python_artifact()

it doesn't pull in anything from

setup.cfg

.

You need a

resources(name="setup_cfg", sources=["setup.cfg"])

target and an explicit dep on it from the

python_sources()

that owns your

setup.py
