Can someone help on this

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

Pants on M1 requires Python 3 9+ to run itself due to various issues with earlier Pythons on that hardware

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

And I m not sure it will run on anaconda we ve only tested on regular CPython

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

I assume from the 2 12 0 that this is an existing repo

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

That has a ` pants` script

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

I would strongly recommend switching the repo to use the new Pants launcher binary <https www pantsbuild org docs installation> which provides its own Python so you don t need to think about it

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

And note that this is unrelated to the version of Python your code uses which can be anything this is just about the Python needed to run Pants itself

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

yes its from an existing repo which already has pants script

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

If you have the ability to make that change in your repo it will save you and others so much trouble in the future

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

Otherwise you ll need to install Python 3 9 and ensure it s the one the ` pants` script tries to use

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

Which is exactly the kind of dance the new `pants` launcher binary avoids

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

Yes I can upgrade it

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

I have removed anaconda and installed python with brew command

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

When I am making the virtual environment I am still getting the same error

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

< sparse intern 12190> you should not be making any virtual environment Please try the installation method recommended by that Benjy pointed out That will both ensure there is an appropriate Python interpreter for your platform it will download a self contained python distribution and then use that downloaded interpreter to create an appropriate venv behind the scenes for Pants to use to run in

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

There is no need to brew install a Python interpreter

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

So just `brew install pantsbuild tap pants` and then instead of running ` pants`run `pants`

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

If that works then you might download the `get pants sh` script and check it into your repo and consider removing the ` pants` script after updating any docs or READMEs you have explaining how to use Pants in your repo

breezy-mouse-20493 · Answer

Getting to know that Pants doesn t require that we dance around with virtualenv s has been a challenge Sourcing that venv bin activate has been done so many times it s just part of muscle memory

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

yes i did it

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

and it worked

sparse-intern-12190 · Answer

thanks < breezy mouse 20493> < enough analyst 54434> < happy kitchen 89482>
