Is there a way to see the generated

setup.py

file from the

python_distribution

target? I tried

--keep-sandboxes=always

but nothing I saw had the

setup.py

in it. I’m just experimenting with some changes and it’d be easier to inspect the file than rebuild and reinstall

What I’ve done in the past is to

./pants package <dist target>

then unzip the wheel from the dist folder for inspection..

I’m interested in generating a

pyproject.toml

file, instead of the

setup.py

, so I’d like to be able to see the generated file as I work through some changes in pants itself. That way I can get to understand what pants is doing by making sure I understand the changes 🙂

Hmm

--keep-sandboxes=always

should work

Sorry, that

find

incantation did … find… the file. I didn’t see that path in the output, but I’ll check again on Monday 🙂
