Allow replacing pip dependencies with targets #67

Closed fahhem closed 2 years ago

fahhem commented 2 years ago

Certain packages require patches for their C++ extensions to work with bazel, or just in general for extra features. rules_pip can add a mechanism for applying patches and/or replacing BUILD files for dependencies, but I think it's best to allow users to use bazel's existing mechanisms and just defer to that.

Normally, users can just pull in a python package from pypi manually and use that, but if it's a dependency of another package, then rules_pip also pulls it in and risks multiple versions of the same dependency (or the same version but included from two paths).
