This is still somewhat experimental, but I now have a branch against 2.14 where you can build a standalone Pants binary using PyOxidizer: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/16414 I believe everything in here should work as intended, and it successfully runs against our example repos. I haven’t looked at out-of-repo plugins just yet, and that’s likely to be somewhat gnarly, but if there’s other stuff that doesn’t work, I’d love to hear about it!

Definitely gonna try this tonight! Super pumped

Also, I like that my first Pants plugin is being used here 🙂

I thought the same thing 🥰

Yes! It made a lot of the work very easy!

@ancient-vegetable-10556 What is

src/python/pants:pants-packaged

? Were you able to bypass needing to use wheels or did you still use a wheel? ie. https://github.com/sureshjoshi/pants-plugins/issues/11

pants-packaged

is the Pants distribution wheel

Hmm "Bad CPU type in executable"

yeah, Chris and I are on M1s

No love for us ol' x86-timers

I'm weeping for joy

@wide-midnight-78598 thanks for noticing — the triple wasn’t even necessary on my M1 once I eventually got things working. I suspect plugins will be an interesting process, depending on what import machinery still exists in PyOxidized binaries.
