Question

I think I might be seeing an inference error ```a b c d init py foo py``` ``` foo py from a b c import d``` Running `pylint` from inside `pants` gives `E0611 no name in module No name d in module a b c ` But running `pylint` on the file doesn t have the issue Setting ` python infer inits=true` doesn t seem to alleviate the issue

Additionally ` pants peek a b c foo py` doesn t show `d` as a dependency

what are the contents of `d init py`

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

non empty ```from typing import Any Callable def apply f Callable args Any kwargs Any gt Any return f args kwargs ```

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

Yeah `foo py` is

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

oh oops

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

I suppose `tailor` isn t ` init py` aware

bitter-ability-32190 · Answer

Or does it refer to ` python infer inits` In which case I ran `tailor` with it off initially

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

it is we have a bad default it looks like for ` python ignore solitary init files`

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

you can set that to `= false` under ` python ` if on Pants 2 8 would you be willing to open a bug report please that s super confusing this happpened

hundreds-father-404 · Answer

the option was an attempt to reduce BUILD file boilerplate People were wondering why we are generating BUILD files in directories with only a single blank ` init py` It should probably instead detect if the ` init py` is empty or not
