Hi - I'm running a Django application in Pants and I'm trying to understand the best way to include non-py files when creating a PEX binary. I have the following in my BUILD file:

python_sources(
    name="lib",
    dependencies=[
        "//:root#auth0-python",
        "//:root#django-admin-rangefilter",
        ...,
    ],
)

pex_binary(
    name="manage",
    entry_point="manage.py",
    dependencies=[
        ":lib",
    ],
    restartable=True,
)

My Django application has various HTML files, SQL files, and other non-Python files that are required for it to function. What's the typical pattern to make sure that these files are present in the PEX when running

./pants package src/myapp/manage.py

?

beware, new user too 🙂 in my templates folder i have a build file with

resources(name="templates", sources=["**/*.html"])

That worked great - thank you!

there is an official example too on github

Out of curiosity, what if you want to support all non-Py files? This works great if I just have HTML files I want to copy over but I can see it getting repetitive w/ PDFs, SQL, JSON, and whatever other files an app may have.

thats doesnt look right

Aside: there is also a tutorial video from last year that might prove helpful?

why would i want to mix them?

Yeah I would, I don't have control over the app structure unfortunately - so any non-Py file could be located anywhere

@plain-summer-72727 you were so close!:
