Question

What is the better way of creating a target from a python package which has further sub packages with BUILD files I have done it with `sources` set to glob pattern like `dir name py` With the glob pattern the issue is that the sub modules can be owned by two targets one at the top level and the other one from the nested sub packages with BUILD files

`sources= py ` will capture everything in the BUILD file s directory and below it

Oh I see what you re asking

happy-kitchen-89482 · Answer

It s up to you If you want one coarse target that globs over everything in all the subdirs you can do that and then you should remove the targets in the subdirs or if you want targets in each dir you can do that and the default `sources` should work

I d recommend the latter and it s what ` pants tailor` will create by default

Why do you need that glob pattern to begin with

We had this discussion while building a python distribution One thing I wanted to do was to put all of my `tests` dependencies on the underlying python package something like what s mentioned in this v1 documentation section gt BUILD for Tests <https v1 pantsbuild org python readme html>
