Hello again One more question In django everything seems to be correctly set up when running shell e g ` pants run backend modules mod1 manage shell` However when I do runserver e g ` pants run backend modules mod1 manage runserver` it complains that django is not installed No module found Any idea why it seems to disregard all installed side packages

There is a gotcha with `runserver` because the Django development server s autoreloading logic does some syspath hacks that don t interact well with pants s sandboxing

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

The solution is to do `runserver noreload`

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

And let Pants do the reloading

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

which it does more precisely anyway

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

Writing a Django specific tutorial with this sort of stuff in it is on my todo list

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

to let Pants do the reloading set `restartable=True` on the pex binary target that wraps `manage py`

However why doesn t the django example need this norelead flag

creamy-truck-92790 · Answer

Found it It uses norelead under the hood due to custom manage py
