Packaging/Build tooling for monorepos, what are you using?

Python Help
1

Hey all wanted, we are looking into combining several repos into one and are looking for tooling that would allows to generate arbitrary python packages from a single repository, It seems like pants fits the use case very well, other potential tools are bazel, but I dont’ have a lot of experience with it. I was wondering what are other people using out there.

Happy to hear your thoughts!

My setup’s pretty primitive. I put something like this at the top of a
module (or a package __init__.py):

 __version__ = '20230612-post'

 DISTINFO = {
     'keywords': ["python3"],
     'classifiers': [
         "Development Status :: 3 - Alpha",
         "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
     ],
     'install_requires': [
         'arrow',
         'cs.context',
         'cs.csvutils',
         'cs.deco',
         'cs.fs',
         'cs.fstags',
         'cs.lex',
         'cs.logutils',
         'cs.mplutils',
         'cs.pfx',
         'cs.progress',
         'cs.psutils',
         'cs.resources',
         'cs.sqltags',
         'cs.tagset',
         'cs.timeseries',
         'cs.upd',
         'matplotlib',
         'python-dateutil',
         'typeguard',
     ],
     'entry_points': {
         'console_scripts': [
             'splink = cs.splink:main',
         ],
     },
 }

and have a custom script to figure out the required source files, check
various dependencies (eg imports vs the DISTINFO, anything outstanding
for the cs.* packages it depends on?, etc), then checks it out, makes a
pyproject.toml and README.md from the docstrings, computes a new
version, uses python -m build to make a wheel and sdist and twine
for the upload.

You can see from the DISTINFO fields that it’s not totally moved on

Alas, this does not recommend a tool for you!
