pants version:

pants_version = "1.27.0.dev1"

With V2 engine, is there a way to config my pants.toml so that it will default

ipython

instead of

python

for Python

repl

? Also, I saw that there was a lot discussion about having a single

repl

goal V.S. one goal per implementation. However, with the version I am having right now, I still only see a single

repl

goal from

./pants gals

. Is this settled? Or still subject to change.

Yes, set this:

[repl]
shell = "ipython"

I think it’s still open to discussion on whether we should have a single

repl

goal or have distinct goals like

python

,

ipython

,

ammonite

,

jshell

. For now, we went with using

--repl-shell

to control which one you use.

[repl]

shell = “ipython”

This would overwrite the

repl

shell for all languages, (we currently do both

python

and

go

)

Currently, V2 Repl is only implemented for Python, and

--repl-shell

doesn’t impact the V1 implementation of

repl

. So, it should be safe to configure this in

pants.toml

. But, this is good data for what the option should look like moving forward.

ipython shell is fairly important

Agreed. Ipython should be working, already, though!

thanks @calm-artist-46894 has that in the private branch

Awesome, glad to hear. Any other road blocks or issues you all have been experiencing? I’ll be putting out a new release on Monday which makes a nice performance improvement for the V2 implementation of

run

and

binary

so that we don’t re-resolve requirements when you only changed source files. That doesn’t yet apply to

repl

, but will be in the release after that.

@calm-artist-46894 is working on owning this pilot, and he is on another project (urgent)

Cool. No rush to either of you! Crazy times all around 😞 let us know when things calm down and we’ll be happy to help!
