I know we're anti-new Pants deps (for good reason), but the deprecation fixers make me want to use

libcst

for Python and

tomlkit

for

pants.toml

. Thoughts?

iirc, libcst made the Pants install slower or something. I think Danny McClanahan had experimented with using it for dep inference Rather than adding libcst as a dep of Pants, you can treat it as a Python tool that gets installed by Pants?

can the fixers just run in a

VenvPexProcess

where those libraries are resolved?

LOL I literally had this thought when I was thinking about this issue this weekend. Then forgot that idsa 😞 I should write mor stuff down

(the terraform dependency inference installs

python-hcl2

that way)

no need to sell yourself short - rubber ducks are very powerful 🦆 we all have threads like this heh

We might wanna switch to `tomli`because it's smaller. But I plan on using in-rule

tomlkit

along with

libcst

I do this all the time too 😄
