Hi! I have a problem regarding entrypoints in python distributions. My folder structure looks like this:

pants.toml
packages/
    projA/
        src/projA/
            __init__.py
            foo.py
            BUILD
        tests/
        pyproject.toml
        setup.py
        BUILD

The BUILD file in packages/projA has a python_distribution. I want to create an entrypoint projA.foo:bar, but I cannot tell the BUILD file from which folder to go. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Possibly related, possibly not, but what are your source roots? I.e., what does

pants roots

show?

Hi! It shows

.
packages/projA
packages/projA/src
packages/projA/tests

Let me know if this sounds weird to you

No that makes sense. So that tells me that your entry point of

projA.foo:bar

should work, as it is a correct

module:function

specification from the source root

packages/projA/src

Hmm ok. Do you maybe have another idea? Maybe I am the first one to try this case?

If you can create a toy repo that reproduces the layout and the problem, we can take a look at that. It’s hard to debug without the full picture.

Hi! Sorry for not coming back earlier to you. Here is a reproducer repository I created https://github.com/maxbartel/pants-entrypoint-toy/tree/main Thanks for your help here @happy-kitchen-89482!
