I'd like to get a glimpse on when pants & pex is going to support custom entrypoints (other than console scripts) (https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/11386), as this is one of the remaining pieces to completely migrate our workflows. As some of you know, I've been workarounding this for a while using a custom entrypoint loader that scans BUILD files for development setups, but in this way I cannot still exploit the convenience of pex packages for distributing in customer sites. (e.g., there are cases that we cannot modify the target virtual environment but it becomes much feasible if I could mount/inject some files or directories inside immutable containers.) If it's possible, I'm also considering direct code contributions, but I'm afraid that it would require a bit deeper understanding of pex and pants...

Still trying to understand the issue fully. Since it’s likely to be a longer conversation, could you start a discussion on https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/discussions and link here? That way it will be persistent and indexed for future reference, instead of ephemeral on slack…
