Hi! Our project relies on a hierarchy of Docker images. What we do in the Dockerfiles, eg.: • install Google Cloud SDK and other non-Python tools, like Spark BigQuery connector (it's a Java JAR) • update libraries/tools coming with the OS • call certain commands so that the Python tools fetch certain data, and so that this data is available in the image already • update various configs Now, we're trying to see if and how we can make use of Pants. Most prominently, can we somehow express a dependency on non-Python packages in Pants, and execute an arbitrary piece of logic?

> execute an arbitrary piece of logic Would the

shell_command

or

adhoc_tool

targets be of use to your use case? https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/docs/shell
