Is it possible to generate a

python_requirement

target using a local

.tar.gz

distribution? You can do this with

pip install local.tar.gz

yes, https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.10/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#version-control-and-local-requirements

You can also install from local files using PEP 440 direct references. You must use an absolute path to the file, and you should ensure that the file exists on your machine.

Thanks Ouail for linking to that. Warning that local files do not yet work with the

generate-lockfiles

goal in Pants 2.10 and 2.11, so you'd to manually generate the locks if you use a lockfile (which we recommend) https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.10/docs/python-third-party-dependencies#generate-lockfiles-goal-vs-manual-lockfile-generation Pants 2.11 or 2.12 will hopefully add support for VCS (git) and local path requirements to locks, thanks to switching to Pex for lockfiles rather than Poetry
