1# Build file generation with Gazelle
2
3This example shows a project that has Gazelle setup with the rules_python
4extension, so that targets like `py_library` and `py_binary` can be
5automatically created just by running
6
7```sh
8bazel run //:requirements.update
9bazel run //:gazelle_python_manifest.update
10bazel run //:gazelle
11```
12
13As a demo, try creating a `__main__.py` file in this directory, then
14re-run that gazelle command. You'll see that a `py_binary` target
15is created in the `BUILD` file.
16
17Or, try importing the `requests` library in `__init__.py`.
18You'll see that `deps = ["@pip//pypi__requests"]` is automatically
19added to the `py_library` target in the `BUILD` file.
