0.23.0

Using Bzlmod with Bazel 6

NOTE: bzlmod support is still experimental; apis are still subject to change

This release introduces two notable changes to bzlmod support:

• A default toolchain is automatically registered for you. You no longer need to call register_toolchains() yourself. Depending
  on rules_python through bazel_dep is sufficient. Note, however, the Python version used for this default toolchain will change
  frequently/unexpectedly to track the a recent Python version.
• The name arg of python.toolchain has been removed. The toolchain repo name format is python_X_Y e.g. python_3_11.

Add to your MODULE.bazel file:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_python", version = "0.23.0")

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

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

use_repo(pip, "pip")

Gazelle plugin

# To compile the rules_python gazelle extension from source,
# we must fetch some third-party go dependencies that it uses.
