gt The compile time runtime distinction is clearer in the JVM domain and in that domain it does seem like `files` and `resources` and any code loaded programmatically at runtime are runtime dependencies

witty-crayon-22786 · Answer

i call out in the ticket that runtime is potentially ambiguous because you have to tell your language runtime VM about `resources` but you don t have to tell it about `files`

witty-crayon-22786 · Answer

and when you think about what you re doing with the PEX file produced by `binary` you are not telling the runtime about it ie not putting it on the pythonpath it s a loose file which is closest to a `files` target
