Is there any suggested guidance on using

pantsbuild.pants

in a

Pipfile

, and being able to use Python 3.10+? I see that

typing-extensions

is pinned to a specific version as a dependency of

pantsbuild.pants

, and that it specifies a requirement on Python

<3.10

Specifically, when running

pipenv graph

, I see that

typing-extensions==4.3.0

is a requirement of

pantsbuild.pants==2.16.0rc2

.

pantsbuild.pants==2.16.0rc2
  ...
  - typing-extensions [required: ==4.3.0, ...]

And looking at

Pipfile.lock

, one of the requirements of

typing-extensions==4.3.0

is Python

<3.10

.

"typing-extensions": {
    ...
    "markers": "python_version < '3.10'",
    "version": "==4.3.0"
}

I think pants is only expected to run on Python 3.7-3.9 at the moment. I think pants also typically best thought of a standalone application that happens to be distributed via pypi at the moment, rather than a directly installable package. Can you talk about more about why you're trying to install via this method?

We have some custom Pants plugins in our repository, which is we why need to install it in our

Pipfile

. It’s currently installed as a dev-only dependency.

Ah, that’s a bit unexpected. I think pants can manage it’s own dependencies for custom plugins, via a target like

pants_requirements

(Search for that in https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/plugins-overview for some more info) and the pants.toml

plugins

option should be used for any third party deps

Thanks for sending this over! Turns out I didn’t need to include it in the PIpfile. 🙂
