  • Ask HN: Best Tools for Monorepo?
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Jul 2024
    As someone who had never used a monorepo before and wanted to set one up for the first time, https://www.pantsbuild.org/ seemed intuitive to me and of an apparently good provenance. Their Slack community also answered every question I had and righted my wrongs 100% of the time, which went a long way.
  • Ruby: A great language for shell scripts

    You actually can distribute a whole executable, python and all, with .pex tools: https://docs.pex-tool.org/

    You have to mind your dependency packages and build options if you want cross-platform, but you can also "cross compile" to make distributions for a platform.

    Pants is in some ways even better for building .pex files, managing options, dependencies, and lockfiles, at the expense of a bit of more complexity (understanding pants options): https://www.pantsbuild.org/

    Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like "older build systems"? I don't think any of the things you listed are "modern". Which isn't a criticism of their legacy! They have been very useful for a long time, and that's to be applauded. But they have huge problems, which is a big part of why newer systems have been created.

    FWIW, I have been using pants[0] (v2) for a little under a year. We chose it after also evaluating it and bazel (but not nix, for better or worse). I think it's really really great! Also painful in some ways (as is inevitably the case with any software). And of course it's nearly impossible to entirely stomp out "genrules" use cases. But it's much easier to get much closer to true hermeticity, and I'm a big fan of that.

    Yeah there's definitely some alternatives out there. Pants is another one that has a lot of traction.
  • Is it possible pickle a function with its dependencies?
    4 projects | /r/Python | 6 May 2023
    You should look into pex, or it’s parent build system pants. A PEX (Python EXecutable) file can package up all your code including dependencies and run on another machine of similar OS with just an available compatible interpreter.
  • Sanity check of my decision for "Iterative AI" (DVC, MLEM, CML) pipeline over Azure ML
    1 project | /r/mlops | 27 Apr 2023
    We don't have the CD yet, but I think what I put in place counts as simple CI (even if incomplete)? Every push & PR trigger an azure pipeline, which runs pants. This install the dependencies from the lockfile, run some linters, uses DVC to pull the data necessary for tests, and run unit tests (mypy check is deactivated until I solve a weird error). Basically the same script runs on laptops cross-platform (one of us uses Max, one Ubuntu with GPU, one Ubuntu with CPU, the scripts runs on every platform). The only difference with CI is the installation of Pants and the gestion of Cache (needs to be downloaded in CI so it takes ~3min in CI versus 20 seconds on my laptop).
