Question

would pex ever be interested in taking over a codebase that either xor 1 attempts to abstract away the daemonization logic in pants 2 attempts to abstract away the nailgun logic in pants

I don t think so since these would be features of an application you might bundle into a PEX file but not features Pex itself needs

thanks that was the answer i was expecting and was interested in just the kind of specifics you ve provided

one other thought there s this tool from someone who previously contributed to i think the mozilla `mach` build tool i saw him present on it at a rust meetup at facebook a while ago one of the things PyOxidizer does is e g reduce import time by importing modules from memory instead of the filesystem it has several other features and may be a solution to would e g wrapping something like PyOxidizer ever be under the purview of pex i don t have anything at all concrete in mind here and could post on that issue if i have more thoughts just wondering

enough-analyst-54434 · Answer

Just read quickly and PyOxidizer already produces a single executable file just like Pex does So afaict the only possible marriage of ideas would be ship a multiplatform file composed of 2 or more pyoxidezer binaries Unlike the pex multiplatform case though as it stands there is no reasonable equivalent of a wheel house here You need to fully pyoxidize every new binary you want to ship from scratch you can t compose it out of pre built platform specific bits like you can a pex from wheels

So I don t see how PyOxidizer could be used by Pex

Are these all random questions or are they related by some goal you have in mind If the latter it would probably be more productive to work at the higher level of the goal and then drill down

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

i can guarantee you that unfortunately there was no greater goal in mind i wouldn t be asking so many questions like this if so i am very direct

both < hundreds breakfast 49010> talking about options parsing which i adore in < C0D7TNJHL|engine> and then having peeked at pants daemonization logic in another PR recently with < red balloon 89377> having an epiphany on the spot

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

so unrelated for now

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

thanks so much for the replies

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

oh and btw sorry i didn t mention this but this is exactly what i came away with too gt You need to fully pyoxidize every new binary you want to ship from scratch and i do not know how to use it only that it would be super nice to converge on a tool

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

it s possible that when i look at it for a few hours i ll have an epiphany about how we could maintainably consume it

aloof-angle-91616 · Answer

i ll let you all know on the pants side
