An example of how to configure bazel (via the new bzlmod MODULE.bazel) for Python projects that use a src dir and have tests outside of the package in a separate tests dir.

• All python code is in a src dir, as recommended by the Python Packaging User Guide.
• Tests are outside of the package and thus not shipped with distributions.
• The package must be installed before tests will work.
  • Typically this is done via editable installs pip install -e ..

1. Clone the repo.
2. Make a venv and activate it.
3. Install the package pip install -e .[dev]
4. Make sure non-bazel basic unit tests work python -m unittest.
5. And make sure bazel unit tests work bazel test //....
6. And that bazel run works: bazel run //src/mypackage:mypackage_bin.

If I've set up this example correctlly, everything should pass.

Buildifier is a linter and autoformatter for Starlark, the language used by Bazel.

Run with one or both of:

bazel run //:buildifier.fix
bazel run //:buildifier.check

Gazelle is a tool for autogenerating BUILD(.bazel) files from source code.

Run by calling all these, in order:

# If any python dependencies change:
bazel run //:requirements.update
bazel run //:gazelle_python_manifest.update
# Run gazelle and generate BUILD files and targets:
bazel run //:gazelle
