Hi everyone, a little question. Does pants changed goal is working at the file level or module level? If I import file a from some module and only file be changed will my app be triggered as changed or not?

File-level, but files within a modules often have 'unexpected' dependencies between them. For instance, if you have

- module/
  - __init__.py
  - a.py
  - b.py

And

__init__.py

reexports a few things (to allow

from module import X, Y

):

from a import X
from b import Y
__all__ = ['X', 'Y']

then

from module.a import something_else

will depend on

b

too. An import statement like that implies a dependencies on

__init__.py

, and

__init__.py

depends on

b

.

thx for your answer, I didn’t fully understood your example

Okay, sorry. Feel free to ask questions to clarify
