Ergonomic, hermetic, user-friendly software build system for Python, Go, Java, Kotlin, Protobuf, Scala, Shell. Pants lets you fearlessly scale up your codebase!

Pants

in the `python_binary` call in `main/BUILD` , right?

but why use this binary? You can run anything from `build-support/bin`, like `check_inits.py`

no particular reason other than it's in the `examples` directory. but it was surprising to me that pants couldn't run it

we want to delete those `examples`. they’re stale and have a weird coupling with tests

`./pants run examples/src/python/example/hello/main:main` fails with an exception after adding that line

ah okay, if we want to delete them then it doesn't matter

any reason we can't put together a commit right nowthat removes the `examples` directory?

yes, it means updating all our integration tests to instead create the tests in memory using `setup_tmpdir`. Doable, but takes some time

so just something we haven't gotten to yet
