👋 - i have some issues getting a custom python path resolved:

Copy code

[python-bootstrap]
search_path = [
    "<PATH>",
    "<PYENV>",
"$HOME/workspace/.pythoninterpreters/python3.10.13/python/install/bin",
]

basically pants wont find the interpreter in the custom path (

$HOME/...

). If i add that path to my

PATH

env var it works fine - does it not like the env var syntax?

You need to use the

env

function in BUILD files to access environment variables. You could write that path as:

Copy code

f"{env('HOME')}/workspace/.pythoninterpreters/python3.10.13/python/install/bin"

ha, literally just sorted it out with

"%(buildroot)s/.python/python3.10.13/python/install/bin"

; i didn't realize it needed special interpretation

buildroot

is injected as a Python variable into the BUILD file so that is why it is available.

and I wonder if the %(...)s syntax could work with

env

I'm assuming the f-string syntax works in any event.

either way, good to remember that it's python and you can use fstrings, ty
