hi! i'm playing around with setting up Pants in this repo: https://github.com/wandb/wandb. For now, just trying to set up Python. When I run

pants tailor ::

it generates a very large number of BUILD files because the project is big and has many directories containing Python code. I'm unfamiliar with most of the code so this makes me a little nervous. Is there a way to do this more incrementally? For instance, could I set up a top-level

python_sources

and break it up gradually later, starting with the directories I'm most familiar with?

iirc you can do

python_sources(files=["**/*.py", "!**/test_*.py", ...])

and

python_tests(...)

thank you! i'll try that

But, I'd recommend biting the bullet on lots of BUILD files now. Or at least, proof-of-concept it as one, but split it out ASAP. It'll make managing dependencies (and blocked dependencies), maintenance, refactoring, etc a lot easier

yeah I realized that it might be worth it to just bite the bullet after reading about dependencies a bit more

You can also use [tailor] ignore_paths={} or pants_ignore.add as methods of incremental rollout
