Pants is a build system for software projects in a variety of languages. It works particularly well for a source code repository that contains many distinct projects.
Friendly documentation: http://www.pantsbuild.org/
We release to PyPI
We use Travis CI to verify the build
We use Coveralls to monitor test coverage
At a minimum, Pants requires the following to run properly:
- Linux or macOS.
- Python 3.6+.
- A C compiler, system headers, Python headers (to compile native Python modules) and the libffi library and headers (to compile and link modules that use CFFI to access native code).
- Internet access (so that Pants can fully bootstrap itself)
Additionally, if you use the JVM backend to work with Java or Scala code (installed by default):
- OpenJDK or Oracle JDK version 7 or greater.
