Pants

I suppose this is a plugin Api question/feedback.. when creating files in a digest with `FileContent` I happened to pass a `str` rather than `bytes`. What happens was…. deadlock (or something, the tests time out). No warning or nothing. I’m sure mypy would catch this, but it took me a while to figure out why it wouldn’t work.. (as an empty string worked just fine, but that’s most likely an edge case, then…)

Ah yes, if the plugin is published then the range makes sense (although a little risky because the Plugin API isn't completely stable yet)

The `pants_requirement` tip is more for in-repo plugins. Is that not obvious from the docs? Could you submit a doc fix suggestion if so?

Yeah, I looked at it, thought it could be, but the structure made me believe not

No, you’re right, I must’ve been reading that page up and down too many times :stuck_out_tongue: it clearly is in the section about building in-repo plugins
