Hello, what is the preferred way of adding a specific dependency to only one file in a directory and still use the convenient

python_sources()

target? This one looks clean to me:

python_sources(
    overrides={"script.py": {"dependencies":["dirctory:somelib"]}},
)

but since there is

python_source()

, i feel i should use it instead but then i cant use

python_sources()

anymore because

script.py

will be in multiple targets and receive this error:

UnownedDependencyError: Pants cannot infer owners for the following imports in the target

You can exclude the file from python_sources by prefixing it with an exclamation mark. https://www.pantsbuild.org/stable/reference/targets/python_sources#sources > Paths are relative to the BUILD file's directory. You can ignore files/globs by prefixing them with

!

. > Example:

sources=['example.py', 'new_*.py', '!old_ignore.py']

But this will override the sensible default set by pants right? According to the docs: ``('*.py', '*.pyi', '!test_*.py', '!test.py', '!tests.py', '!conftest.py', '!test.pyi', '!*_test.pyi', '!tests.pyi')``

Yes. You could reference and extend them by:

python_sources.sources.default

https://www.pantsbuild.org/dev/docs/using-pants/key-concepts/targets-and-build-files#extending-field-defaults

I think

overrides

is more idiomatic

Thank you for your help. It seems like this is the way to go.
