Besides running the pex and then manually cding there, is there a way to get a pex to run with the wordking directory being the user_code directory; or somehow being able to bake the user_code directory hash into a pex's args?

You can tell which root directory to use for your PEX with

PEX_ROOT

if that helps? See this recent thread for example: https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C046T6T9U/p1698950711594649?thread_ts=1698949382.565169&cid=C046T6T9U

That doesn't quite help; I want to somehow do "cd ~/.pex/user_code/6d57e0e5fef8172b143cb22369fd3936c39dbf43/" before the pex runs, where I don't know how to actually get at the 6d57e0e5fef8172b143cb22369fd3936c39dbf43 hash I can probably do some sort of wrapper around the pex, but wondering if pants can do something without it

what are trying to achieve?

mostly trying to get streamlit to play nice with pex. streamlit wants to be run like

streamlit run path/to/python.py

I got

pants run path/to:python

to work locally by baking the

run path/to/python.py

into the args, but when I move the pex to another machine, it turns out it's just running path/to/python.py from the current working directory

aha.. there’s no way to start streamlit from within a python environment? otherwise I have no good ideas I’m afraid.. 😬
