Like many others, I joined after the Real Python episode. I'd briefly poked at Pants after the TalkPython episode, but things clicked a lot more in the Real Python episode (maybe just hearing things a second time). At the current time, Pants isn't a good fit for the projects I'm working on - we've got our own established CI workflow, and the way our way our development contracts are structured makes a monorepo inappropriate for the bulk of our codebase. I'll keep my eye on the Pants project though, and was especially interested in the potential of Pex bundling a Python interpreter with the built package. That would solve one of our workflows that currently works, but is a bit of an ugly hack.

Welcome! We're using https://github.com/a-scie/jump to do that. This thread might be helpful for you. https://pantsbuild.slack.com/archives/C01SPQQ2WK1/p1672658168349699
