Is there any way to get more structured output from commands like

dependees

? I am trying to get a map of dependees for a bunch of files and am either faced with running through a loop and calling dependees for each (slow) or using xargs to

./pants

and calling dependees once, losing track of which target the dependee came from. Ideally I could call

dependees

(and maybe other commands like it) once with a bunch of targets and get something like a json map of which target has which dependee.

using

./pants peek ::

will get you the adjacency list for all targets

I should have added that I want to filter those by type

like

./pants --filter-target-type=… peek ::

?

something like

./pants list ... | xargs ./pants dependees --filter-target-type=python_test

got it.

basically "give me a list of python_source's which are not depended upon by a python_test"

./pants peek ::

plus some pretty simple recursive code will get you something similar faster probably:

peek

also includes the type information
