hey, i just ran into an issue running a django shell via pants run, got:

os.write(self.fileno, b'\x1b[?1l')
OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

If you suspect this is an IPython bug, please report it at:
    <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues>
or send an email to the mailing list at <mailto:ipython-dev@python.org|ipython-dev@python.org>

@jolly-midnight-72759 told me to pass

--no-pantsd

to avoid this and pointed me to the ticket here: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/9939 just thought i’d mention that this happens on a pants run and not just a pants repl. but it makes sense since it’s a general issue relating to ttys and pantsd it seems

Oh hm, it’s happening even without pantsd? What pants version is this on? Thanks for reporting this

no,

--no-pantsd

workaround works

Oh I see, you’re saying that this issue also impacts

./pants run

if it’s a Django shell

yah

That makes sense, but yeah this is a major issue and common gotcha. Stu has been porting some of our exception handling and Pantsd code to rust, and I’m hoping that will make this issue easier to fix Thanks for reporting it!

BTW I've been meaning to write a "best practices for using Pants with Django" doc, so if you have any good tips on that, would love to hear them! So far the greatest difficulty seems to be getting

manage.py runserver

to work, afaict you have to use

--noreload

(which is OK since autoreloading won't work anyway right now, since the code

pants run

actually runs is a copy of the code from your repo, so it won't see your edits until you rerun pants). We're looking into using Pants's own autoreload ability (pantsd watches the filesystem) for this.

yah, we sort of hacked around that noreload stuff by modifying PYTHONPATH but it is something we would like to see natively supported in pants
