Is there a way to abuse parametrized targets to make say, one target for tests and prod that excludes

TYPE_CHECKING

deps, while another goes with the default and uses them?

This works:

dependencies=parametrize(dev=["3rdparty/python#pex")], prod=[])

. You could use

!

ignores to opt out of the type stubs But, Pants's dep inference won't be happy because 2 targets own the same file, and they both belong in the same "resolve" (lockfile) Instead, have you considered with the

pex_binary

using

!!

excludes? They're transitive excludes -- no matter what, the dep should not come up

That's a decent idea, I could use transitive excludes on tests for now
