Version: 2.1 (deprecated)

2.1.x

Some highlights:

  • Speedup of dependency inference, around ~30% faster when used in the Pants codebase.
  • New export-codegen goal.
  • New pants.backend.python.mixed_interpreter_constraints backend with a py-constraints goal to debug what interpreter constraints are used by code, and py-constraints --summary to get an overview of your repo's interpreter constraints. See Interpreter compatibility and our blog post about this.
  • New shorthand for the entry_point field. If you specify the sources field, you can set entry_point=":my_func", and Pants will add the source's module name as the prefix. See package.
  • New ./pants help subsystems command to list all configurable option scopes.
  • Support for remote caching without remote execution. See Remote Execution.
