Hi All,
Is there anyway to build the interpreter inside the pex file as well? I know its more meant to self contained in regards to dependencies, but I would really like it mobile as the environments I want to deploy the pex file can be a bit finicky.

Not using PEX. Pants packages itself using <https://github.com/a-scie/jump|scie-jump> which is called <https://github.com/pantsbuild/scie-pants|scie-pants>. Although pants doesn't have anything out of the box to build such `scie`.

There is a 3rd party <https://github.com/sureshjoshi/pants-plugins/tree/main/pants-plugins/experimental/scie|plugin> to build your own `scie` . You will see that the plugin supports packaging PEX as `scie`.

wow, thats solves another problem. Did not know this existed.

I'll give the plugin a try! Thanks a bunch

I wrote that janky plugin - if you have any issues, don’t hesitate to ask. The plugin needs a few updates to be something that I would be happy with, BUT, I am currently using it in a production and haven’t run into any issues.

The big change I’d like to add is multi-pex support, to allow multiple commands bound into the same science
