Pants

AFAICT, pex_binaries take env variables from the surrounding env. Is there a way to set extra env vars in a BUILD file?

To bake them into the .pex file itself to be set at pex runtime? Or to be set at build time?

the situation I am in is not ideal, but basically I would like some vars to be set when I `./pants run`

global across the repo would actually be ok too

Ah, so set on `./pants run` but not when you `./pants package` and then later run the .pex file without Pants?

the more I talk about this the more this seems like a bad idea :slightly_smiling_face:

they are basically pointers to config files

Could you set them in your `./pants` script?
