Pants

the documentation talks about allowing 3rd party libraries on disk in `python_requirements` but only ever mentions files external to the repository.
Is there a way to include .zip/.whl files in the repository?

There are roughly 18 ways to do this. One is to configure: <https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python-repos#find_links|https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python-repos#find_links> `[python-repos] find_links = ["%(buildroot)s/repo/relative/path/to/dir/containing/distributions"]`

Then you'd just use normal requirement strings.
