I’m happy - I was able to use

pants

for a tiny project at work - the first work project that is using pants. Initially it was a single python script, but using pants let me wire up flake8+black very quickly and generate/publish wheels, so I refactored it into a little python module. I would not have added all the other utils if pants didn’t make it so easy. 🙂

Thanks for sharing! Anything that would have made things better for such a small repo?

Not on pants-side. The thing that took the most time was figuring out that I couldn’t use PEP-621 project metadata with python3.6 because the setuptools version that added support for it only supports python3.7. Sadly, I was targeting the python that mobaxterm’s package manager provides on windows - ie Python3.6 with sys.platform == “cygwin”.

i still want to see windows support so badly

windows is a hairy mess… raw windows, wsl, cygwin, cygwin baked into mobaxterm (who knew that was a thing)…
