I'm struggling to get gunicorn running a server for me because I can't figure out how to include my python when using the

pex_binary

's

script

tag. I get the sense that I'm missing something obvious. Example:

# my/code/BUILD

python_sources()

pex_binary(
    name="my_server",
    script="gunicorn",
    args=[
        "--timeout",
        "120",
        "my.code.server:create_app()",
    ],
    dependencies=[
        "//.build/requirements:reqs#gunicorn",
        # What do I put here to include the my.code.server + depenencies?
    ],
)

Basically, I'm getting a "No module found" error when I try to run the resulting PEX, and indeed, the

my.code.server

module does not seem to be packaged in the PEX file. There are two

gunicorn

examples that I was able to find. The one I based this on appears here, but doesn't seem to be complete. (Unless I'm missing something, I don't think the required code would be packaged?) The second example I found appears in the Django example, but it requires a lot of shim code that the

script

tag is supposed to avoid. Thanks in advance!

normally, when you use the

entry_point

for a

pex_binary

pants figures out the dependency for you, but here the dependency is embedded in the

args

which pants doesn't introspect, hence you need to add the dependency on your application code explicitly, otherwise pants doesn't know it should be included.
