fix(toolchain): symlink all toolchain files for the host toolchain (#1745) Previously we would only symlink the interpreter binary itself when creating the hermetic host toolchain used in setting up the `whl_library` repositories. This works on UNIX platforms and Windows if they have the following in their `.bazelrc`: ``` startup --windows_enable_symlinks ``` In our CI we had the same lines but the users did not need to add them until the `0.29.0` forced them to have them because we actually started using symlinks on Windows. If the symlinks are not enabled on the host platform `bazel` tries to be helpful and copies the files over instead of making the links. We are leveraging this to just symlink all of the contents of the python interpreter repository for the host platform to the `_host` toolchain repository. Fixes #1723
This repository is the home of the core Python rules -- py_library, py_binary, py_test, py_proto_library, and related symbols that provide the basis for Python support in Bazel. It also contains package installation rules for integrating with PyPI and other indices.
Documentation for rules_python is at https://rules-python.readthedocs.io and in the Bazel Build Encyclopedia.
Examples live in the examples directory.
Currently, the core rules build into the Bazel binary, and the symbols in this repository are simple aliases. However, we are migrating the rules to Starlark and removing them from the Bazel binary. Therefore, the future-proof way to depend on Python rules is via this repository. SeeMigrating from the Bundled Rules below.
The core rules are stable. Their implementation in Bazel is subject to Bazel's backward compatibility policy. Once migrated to rules_python, they may evolve at a different rate, but this repository will still follow semantic versioning.
The Bazel community maintains this repository. Neither Google nor the Bazel team provides support for the code. However, this repository is part of the test suite used to vet new Bazel releases. See How to contribute page for information on our development workflow.
