Question

Hi team does anyone know of a library hopefully in python that allows you to parse the Starlark BUILD file I am looking at some helper functionality to automatically edit add some target definitions in existing BUILD files

FWIW Pants BUILD files are straight up Python not Starlark That being said look into Bazel s Buildozer It ll be comptaible

for adding target definitions you might want to hook into the `tailor` goal also

if you re doing something more permanent you can add a fixer to `update build files` to make whatever changes you want It s a very flexible API takes in the BUILD file contents as a string and then you return back what you want
