0.17.3

Note, the prior 0.17 tags (0.17.0, 0.17.1, and 0.17.2) were never published as releases and can be ignored.

Breaking Change

The Gazelle extension for Python has been updated to better integrate with the conventions of Python and Bazel. This includes changes to how test files with the prefix or suffix of "test_" and "*_test" are handled. If a test target is not present, these files will now be added to individual py_test targets. To align your projects with these changes, any test utility files that were previously included in py_library targets and have the aforementioned prefix or suffix, will need to be renamed for consistency.

To use the gazelle extension you must now fetch another external repository, rules_python_gazelle_plugin, see the snippet below.
Also, change your gazelle binary registration to load from this new repository:

gazelle(
    name = "gazelle",
    data = GAZELLE_PYTHON_RUNTIME_DEPS,
    gazelle = "@rules_python_gazelle_plugin//python:gazelle_binary",
)

Using Bzlmod with Bazel 6

Add to your MODULE.bazel file:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_python", version = "0.17.3")

pip = use_extension("@rules_python//python:extensions.bzl", "pip")

pip.parse(
    name = "pip",
    requirements_lock = "//:requirements_lock.txt",
)

use_repo(pip, "pip")

# (Optional) Register a specific python toolchain instead of using the host version
python = use_extension("@rules_python//python:extensions.bzl", "python")

python.toolchain(
    name = "python3_9",
    python_version = "3.9",
)

use_repo(python, "python3_9_toolchains")

register_toolchains(
    "@python3_9_toolchains//:all",
)

Using WORKSPACE

Paste this snippet into your WORKSPACE file:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "rules_python",
    sha256 = "8c15896f6686beb5c631a4459a3aa8392daccaab805ea899c9d14215074b60ef",
    strip_prefix = "rules_python-0.17.3",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/archive/refs/tags/0.17.3.tar.gz",
)

load("@rules_python//python:repositories.bzl", "py_repositories")

py_repositories()

Gazelle plugin

Paste this snippet into your WORKSPACE file:

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "rules_python_gazelle_plugin",
    sha256 = "8c15896f6686beb5c631a4459a3aa8392daccaab805ea899c9d14215074b60ef",
    strip_prefix = "rules_python-0.17.3/gazelle",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/archive/refs/tags/0.17.3.tar.gz",
)
