Pants recently got featured in Awesome Python Weekly (Issue 279) and Django News (Issue 97)! Thank you to the Pants fans who recommended the project to them. This month we passed over 10,000 commits to the core project. Thank you, community, for your generous contributions of code, support, and insights. You keep Pants project growing better than ever.
With Pants 2.7 comes a new experimental backend for building Docker images and linting Dockerfiles. This backend offers a seamless experience when bundling your code and files into Docker images - In a single invocation, Pants will build the code artifacts that need to be embedded into the Docker
TL;DR Pants makes it easy and efficient to incrementally build and deploy multiple Docker images from a single repo, with a single command. Each image can consist of a shared base image plus a single PEX (Python EXecutable) file containing all the code, resources and dependencies required by the
The Pants open-source project exists and thrives thanks to the efforts of its various contributors, who do everything from system design to coding to updating our documentation to answering questions on our Slack workspace.
Within the larger group of official Contributors are a smaller group of Maintainers - people with
Psssst, don't tell anyone but we're adding JVM and Go support.
Kidding! Tell everyone. We're really excited about how very, VERY soon this is coming. Check out progress: https://t.co/dZEjQEpUa3. Come tell us your wishlist for Java, Scala, and Go support: https://t.co/1BfDfT7fnc
Pants team members periodically get invited to be interviewed about aspects of the project. It’s a delight to have these conversations, sharing our expertise and passion for build engineering. If you haven’t heard these stories yet, you’re in for a treat. And of course if you want to hear more
"Kudos to the Pants team and especially @stuhood for helping out with https://t.co/sYhfTb1b7n by pushing out a quick fix and with all the help that was given with the investigation. This helped to unblock a critical flow we needed to work reliably, many thanks! 🙏"
"Seriously, the level of transparency and communication here gives me immense confidence in Pants as a tool, because I have confidence in the team behind it." [email protected]jriddycuz
"For the first time in more than 20 years we have a new leader of the pack: the Python programming language. The long-standing hegemony of Java and C is over." https://t.co/ZnXBYultDC
The Python Steering Council posted our current thoughts on type annotations (specifically PEP 563/649, and 'from __future__ import annotations'). I'll post it here to reach non-core devs who care about stringified annotations: https://t.co/lWe3dQPLUz
Choosing a repository strategy is not only a technical matter but also about how people communicate. Multirepos allow teams to manage projects independently but put up comms barriers.
Learn who we are, how to participate in the community and contribute to it, how the community is structured, team member roles, how decisions are made, and more.
The ergonomic, hermetic, and user-friendly software build system for Python, Java, Go, Shell, and Scala. Pants lets you fearlessly scale up your codebase.
