Another question: How are people using Pants with an IDE for Python projects? In particular, how do you tell VSCode where to find the right Python interpreter? What I've done:

pants export --resolve=default

and then in VSCode I find that venv with "> python: Select interpreter". However, this doesn't install first-party code into the environment. Without first-party code installed in "editiable" mode, I can't have VSCode launch and debug a Python module, as none of my first-party code is in the venv.

I’ve never used VSCode, so will have to defer to others on that one

Vim user? 😄

emacs 😉

Noice.

I know I have ppl at work that use VSCode and can break and step into the tests and such… shouldn’t be too difficult to find out what they’ve done 🙂

Okay. 🙂

DM’d…

Ahhh yes! I had seen this at one point.

I also like to include

{
  "python.defaultInterpreterPath": "dist/export/python/virtualenvs/python-default/3.10.13"
}

in my

.vscode/settings.json

. One thing to note is that the

3.10.13

depends on your version of python. On some machines I have

3.10.9

and others I have

3.10.13

.

Ooh, I like that - of note stuff like formatters and linters aren’t bundled in there, which can be annoying

This is because you only get one resolve per

export

goal, right?
