Pants 2.16 introduces visibility features. These can be vital for keeping a monorepo's repository structure under control as the codebase grows. You'll benefit from having cleaner architecture and a dependency graph that is easier to reason about.

Make builds more reliable and save time doing so. The upcoming Pants 2.16 introduces a couple of exciting changes to make Pants safer, faster, and more user-friendly. Here we preview a pair of changes which increase hermeticity.

Now that Pants 2.15 is out, let's whet your appetite for 2.16: lint your Python monorepo faster than ever with Pants and Ruff, two projects that share a passion for combining the raw power of Rust with the elegance of Python.

At Tweag we have a lot of experience with Bazel, as we maintain the Haskell rules. However, I had feedback that Bazel's Python support was not ideal. In contrast, Python is Pants' strong point. My client's fear of boilerplate also made Bazel unappealing. Whereas, Pants reduces boilerplate…

A year in, builds take only a few minutes (~150K LOC, ~1500 tests), PRs have become smaller as devs no longer try to squeeze as much as code as possible into a single change, code reviews get completed much faster (and are more likely to provide useful feedback), development velocity has increased…

Highlights include: less boilerplate via hierarchical defaults for target field values, better Golang monorepo support, with multiple go.mods, do more of your workflows in Pants with the experimental deploy goal (with initial support for Helm), and much more…

We're pleased to announce Pants 2.13.0. Highlights include better command line arguments for file sets, improved JVM support, easier access to parallel execution in CI, and lower barriers to adoption for Python projects that currently use existing distribution and build tools.

"Code development at Astranis has been migrating towards a monorepo structure. Astranis has grown rapidly since this migration started and, along with it, so has the volume of Python hosted in our monorepo. We went looking for new tooling to bring us into the future."

Pants can build a PEX file, an executable zip file containing your Python code and all transitive dependencies. Deploying your application is as simple as copying the file. This post elaborates on how to get best performance out of the powerful combination of Pants+PEX+Docker.
