02/22/2022, 5:08 PMIt sounds like what you'd want is to specifically write the output of

02/22/2022, 5:25 PMYeah, but this would be a fairly minor enhancement - I'm just looking at what would be different for my team by switching to pants, and one small thing is that each team member would need to point PyCharm at the directory that "pants export" writes out instead of the default of "env"

02/22/2022, 5:28 PMYeah, can't speak to it personally, but we've been happy with how vscode has presented it. It's pretty clear what's opted in as a workspace setting and we keep that restricted to the things we know every developer should have (e.g. format on save, automatic linting, linter configuration paths, import search paths, etc.)
