I needed to do something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50174130/how-do-i-pytest-a-project-using-pep-420-namespace-packages/50175552#50175552 in my

conftest.py

. Pants doesn't know that

_pytest

comes from the

pytest

package. Where's the most appropriate place to inform that? I could get by with a

# pants: no-infer-dep

, but curious about a more proper fix.

can add it to the

module_mapping

i think? https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.14/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#use-modules-and-module_mapping-when-the-module-name-is-not-standard

Does it not? https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/blob/2aa289a22a46296bff43aa2cbb38bb125dc134c7/[…]s/backend/python/dependency_inference/default_module_mapping.py

The requirement comes from pants internally, though. I tried adding it to the only

python_requirements

I have, but it doesn't pick that up.

oh right, that issue 🙄

yeah, I'll probably just do that for now to keep requirements.txt "clean". Thanks for confirming
