hi! I want to use pants to produce scie pex'es with the following in my BUILD file:
Copy code
pex_binary(
    name="bin-compiled",
    entry_point="__init__.py",
    environment="docker_linux",
    extra_build_args=[
        "--scie=eager",
        "--scie-only",
        "--scie-python-version=3.11.11",
        "--scie-platform=linux-x86_64",
        "--scie-pbs-stripped",
    ],
)
But I'm not getting the pex in the output. What I'm doing wrong? If I remove "--scie-only", a pex is output, but it's not scie.
If I remove "--scie-only", a pex is output, but it's not scie.

Hmm... That's interesting, I don't think I've ever tested 
scie
output from pex in pants. I use 
science
to make them, and I have a separate 
scie_binary
plugin, but I've been meaning to look at this one of these days. I wonder if scie's aren't materialized out of the sandbox
Can you check your sandbox (--keep-sandboxes=always)
I'm gonna throw a hypothesis out with zero testing, but for the history of pants, a ".pex" was assumed to be the output - and now we don't have that, so maybe we just don't know to also extract a ".scie" file? or a nameless file (or wahtever).
If that's the problem, can you raise an issue? In the meantime, I wonder if there is some funny way to fool pants and/or pex into giving you what you want. Like, naming the 
scie
the same thing as what the pex would be named?

Probably there should be an output directory in that sandbox and we should copy everything in it to dist, rather than specific names

I checked and I can't see any pex or binary whatsoever
I ran 
pants --keep-sandboxes=always package projects/example/functions/hello:bin-compiled
I created a feature request as this doesn't look as an intentional feature on pants: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/22044
I also linked your issue @wide-midnight-78598 https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/21100

👍 Benjy's idea is probably the way to go. Having said that, I don't know what else other than a pex and scie should be in there - but, by just outputting the directory contents - we're more robust to changes in a 3rd party tool
