What's the easiest way to glob up a bunch of dependencies for a target? I'd like to do something like 
dependencies=["//my/dir/**/*_my_file.py"]
, but I keep getting hit with various forms of 
DifferingFamiliesError
. I'd like to avoid having to put one 
python_sources
really high up that globs like 
sources=["//my/dir/**/*_my_file.py"]
if possible.
It does seem like the only way to do this is to put a sources target higher up
The specifics here is that I want a module to depend on every single protobuf in a couple directories

Alas you can't use glob syntax in 
dependencies=
. You'd have to enumerate them if they can't be inferred.
That high-up 
python_sources
works, but if those sources are also owned by other targets then you have sources owned by two targets, which can introduce dep inference ambiguity
Although now that I think of it, https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/17931 might fix that, assuming the two targets are in different source roots
So 
*_my_file.py
are generated from protos?
h
Yeah unfortunately we have some legacy tooling and aren’t ready to swap over to protobuf sources yet
Though even if we were, I’d still need to glob them up until I can implement something that handles the protos anonymously.
