pants is issuing warnings about "cannot infer owners" (pants 2.14 changed the

[python-infer].unowned_dependency_behavior

default from ignore to warn). But, in at least some of the cases, the indicated lines already have

# pylint: disable=import-error

, so how should I add

# pants: no-infer-dep

when there is already a disable comment for other tools?

you chain them together including the

#

Well, that's ugly. I had to do this because of line length:

from keyczar.keys import (  # pylint: disable=import-error
        AesKey as KeyczarAesKey,  # pants: no-infer-dep
    )
    from keyczar.keys import (  # pylint: disable=import-error
        HmacKey as KeyczarHmacKey,  # pants: no-infer-dep
    )
    from keyczar.keyinfo import (  # pylint: disable=import-error
        GetMode,  # pants: no-infer-dep
    )

Instead of this:

from keyczar.keys import AesKey as KeyczarAesKey  # pylint: disable=import-error
    from keyczar.keys import HmacKey as KeyczarHmacKey  # pylint: disable=import-error
    from keyczar.keyinfo import GetMode  # pylint: disable=import-error

would it make sense for Pants to learn to understand the pylint comment?

Hmm. Maybe, but would that be surprising?

yeah, probably - and they're not necessarily the same thing
