Pants

Hello. This is not directly related to pants but PEX itself. We are trying to build some pex’s with poetry instead of pants (for reasons I will not get into at the moment). We are having some issues. Created an issue here: <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/issues/1518> Any insight?

Commented. I think you're just trying too hard! SImpler approach noted there.

Really the `--sources-directory` was just added for Pants and it was probably a mistake. Any non-Pants usage will probably always want to use `setup.py` or `pyproject.toml`; ie the requirement of `.` (i.e.: the path of the directory containing `setup.py` or `pyproject.toml`for the local project).
