In a Python codebase, if I have a BUILD file with

python_sources(name="foo")

, is it meant to be possible to do

import foo

somewhere else?

No, the target name for the Pantsbuild metadata about your project is not reflected in the project sources.

Alright, just wanted to be sure, thank you!

Yeah that name usually isn’t important. You’d typically only use it when you add an explicit

dependencies=[...]

to point to the dependency, and even then you often can just point to the source file, without the target name.
