Known Issues

• (gazelle) Windows support for the Gazelle plugin may be broken. See
  #​3416 for
  details and possible workarounds.

{#v1-8-0-removed}

Removed

• (toolchain) Remove all of the python 3.8 toolchain support out of the box. Users need
  to pass the TOOL_VERSIONS that include 3.8 toolchains or use the bzlmod APIs to add
  them back. This means any hub pip.parse calls that target 3.8 will be ignored from
  now on. (#​2704)

  )

• (toolchain) Remove all of the python 3.9 toolchain versions except for the 3.9.25.
  This version has reached EOL and will no longer receive any security fixes, please update to
  3.10 or above. (#​2704)

• (toolchain) ignore_root_user_error has now been flipped to be always enabled and
  the chmod of the python toolchain directories have been removed. From now on rules_python
  always adds the pyc files to the glob excludes and in order to avoid any problems when using
  the toolchains in the repository phase, ensure that you pass -B to the python interpreter.
  (#​2016)

{#v1-8-0-changed}

Changed

• (toolchains) Use toolchains from the 20251031 release.
• (gazelle) Internally split modules mapping generation to be per-wheel for concurrency and caching.
• (pip) pipstar has been enabled for all whl_library instances where the whl
  is passed through a label or downloaded using the bazel downloader
  (#​2949).
• (pypi) pipstar flag default has been flipped to be on by default.
  It can be disabled through RULES_PYTHON_ENABLE_PIPSTAR=0 environment variable.
  If you do need to disable it, please add a comment to
  #​2949.
• (gazelle deps) rules_go bumped from 0.55.1 to 0.59.0
• (gazelle deps) gazelle bumped from 0.36.0 to 0.47.0

{#v1-8-0-fixed}

Fixed

• (gazelle) Remove {obj}py_binary targets with invalid srcs. This includes files
  that are not generated or regular files.
  #​3046
• (runfiles) Fix incorrect Python runfiles path assumption - the existing
  implementation assumes that it is always four levels below the runfiles
  directory, leading to incorrect path checks
  (#​3085).
• (toolchains) local toolchains now tell the sys.abiflags value of the
  underlying runtime.
• (toolchains) various local toolchain fixes: add abi3 header targets,
  fixes to linking, Windows DLL detection, and defines for free threaded
  runtimes.
• (toolchains) The python_headers target is now compatible with
  layering_check.
• (performance) 90% reduction in py_binary/py_test analysis phase cost.
  (#​3381).
• (gazelle) Fix gazelle_python_manifest.test so that it accesses manifest files via runfile path handling rather than directly (#​3397).
• (core rules) For the system_python bootstrap, the runfiles root is added to
  sys.path.
• (sphinxdocs) The sphinxdocs .serve target is now compatible with Bazel's --symlink_prefix
  flag (#​3410).

{#v1-8-0-added}

Added

• (toolchains) 3.9.25 Python toolchain from 20251031 release.
• (toolchains) 3.13.10, 3.14.1 Python toolchain from 20251202 release.
• (toolchains) 3.13.11, 3.14.2, 3.15.0a2 Python toolchains from 20251209 release.
• (pypi) API to tell pip.parse which platforms users care about. This is very useful to ensure
  that when users do bazel query for their deps, they don't have to download all of the
  dependencies for all of the available wheels. Torch wheels can be up of 1GB and it takes a lot
  of time to download those, which is unnecessary if only the host platform builds are necessary
  to be performed. This is mainly for backwards/forwards compatibility whilst rolling out
  RULES_PYTHON_ENABLE_PIPSTAR=1 by default. Users of experimental_index_url that perform
  cross-builds should add {obj}target_platforms to their pip.parse invocations, which will
  become mandatory if any cross-builds are required from the next release.
• (py_library) Attribute {obj}namespace_package_files added. It is a hint for
  optimizing venv creation.

{#v1-7-0}

v1.7.0

Compare Source

{#v1-7-0-removed}

Removed

• (core rules) Support for Bazel's long deprecated "extra actions" has been
  removed
  (#​3215).

{#v1-7-0-changed}

Changed

• (deps) bumped rules_cc dependency to 0.1.5.
• (bootstrap) For {obj}--bootstrap_impl=system_python, PYTHONPATH is no
  longer used to add import paths. The sys.path order has changed from
  [app paths, stdlib, runtime site-packages] to [stdlib, app paths, runtime site-packages].
• (bootstrap) For {obj}--bootstrap_impl=system_python, the sys.path order has
  changed from [app paths, stdlib, runtime site-packages] to [stdlib, app paths, runtime site-packages].
• (pip) Publishing deps are no longer pulled via experimental_index_url.
  (#​2937).
• (toolchains) py_runtime and PyRuntimeInfo reject Python 2 settings.
  Setting py_runtime.python_version = "PY2" or non-None
  PyRuntimeInfo.py2_runtime is an error.
• (pypi) pipstar flag has been implemented for WORKSPACE and can be flipped to be enabled using RULES_PYTHON_ENABLE_PIPSTAR=1 environment variable. If you do, please
  add a comment to
  #​2949 if you run into any
  problems.
  With this release we are deprecating {obj}pip.parse.experimental_target_platforms and
  {obj}pip_repository.experimental_target_platforms. For users using WORKSPACE and
  vendoring the requirements.bzl file, please re-vendor so that downstream is unaffected
  when the APIs get removed. If you need to customize the way the dependencies get
  evaluated, see our docs on customizing Requires-Dist resolution.
• (toolchains) Added Python versions 3.15.0a1, 3.14.0, 3.13.9, 3.12.12, 3.11.14, 3.10.19, and 3.9.24
  from the 20251014 release.
• (deps) (bzlmod) Upgraded to bazel-skylib version
  1.8.2

{#v1-7-0-fixed}

Fixed

• (rules) The PyInfo constructor was setting the wrong value for
  has_py3_only_sources - this is now fixed.
• (bootstrap) The stage1 bootstrap script now correctly handles nested RUNFILES_DIR
  environments, fixing issues where a py_binary calls another py_binary
  (#​3187).
• (bootstrap) For Windows, having many dependencies no longer results in max
  length errors due to too long environment variables.
• (bootstrap) {obj}--bootstrap_impl=script now supports the -S interpreter
  setting.
• (venvs) {obj}--venvs_site_packages=yes no longer errors when packages with
  overlapping files or directories are used together.
  (#​3204).
• (venvs) {obj}--venvs_site_packages=yes works for packages that dynamically
  link to shared libraries
  (#​3228).
• (venvs) {obj}--venvs_site_packages=yes includes pth files at the root of the
  site-packages folder
  (#​3339).
• (uv) {obj}//python/uv:lock.bzl%lock now works with a local platform
  runtime.
• (pypi) linux_riscv64 is added to the platforms list in _pip_repository_impl,
  which fixes a build issue for tensorflow on riscv64.
• (toolchains) WORKSPACE builds now correctly register musl and freethreaded
  variants. Setting {obj}--py_linux_libc=musl and --py_freethreaded=yes now
  activate them, respectively.
  (#​3262).
• (rules) {obj}py_console_script_binary is now compatible with symbolic macros
  (#​3195).

{#v1-7-0-added}

Added

• (runfiles) The Python runfiles library now supports Bazel's
  --incompatible_compact_repo_mapping_manifest flag.
• (bootstrap) {obj}--bootstrap_impl=system_python now supports the
  {obj}main_module attribute.
• (bootstrap) {obj}--bootstrap_impl=system_python now supports the
  {any}RULES_PYTHON_ADDITIONAL_INTERPRETER_ARGS environment variable.
• (rules) The py_binary, py_test, and py_wheel rules now have a
  {obj}config_settings attribute to control build flags within the build graph.
  Custom settings can be added using {obj}config.add_transition_setting in
  MODULE.bazel files, or {obj}py_repositories(transition_settings=...) in
  WORKSPACE files. See the
  {ref}common-deps-with-multiple-pypi-versions guide on using common
  dependencies with multiple PyPI versions` for an example.
• (toolchains) Stable ABI headers support added. To use, depend on
  {obj}//python/cc:current_py_cc_headers_abi3. This allows Windows builds
  a way to depend on headers without the potentially Python unstable ABI
  objects from the regular {obj}//python/cc:current_py_cc_headers target
  being included.
  • Adds {obj}//python/cc:current_py_cc_headers_abi3,
    {obj}py_cc_toolchain.headers_abi3, and {obj}PyCcToolchainInfo.headers_abi3.
  • {obj}//python:features.bzl%features.headers_abi3 can be used to
    feature-detect the presense of the above.
• (toolchains) Local toolchains can use a label for the interpreter to use.
• (pypi) Support for environment marker handling and experimental_index_url handling for
  Windows ARM64 for Python 3.11 and later
  (#​2276).

{#v1-6-3}

v1.6.3

Compare Source

{#v1-6-3-fixed}

Fixed

• (pypi) We now use the Minimal Version Selection (MVS) algorithm to select
  the right wheel when there are multiple wheels for the target platform
  (e.g. musllinux_1_1_x86_64 and musllinux_1_2_x86_64). If the user
  wants to set the minimum version for the selection algorithm, use the
  {attr}pip.defaults.whl_platform_tags attribute to configure that. If
  musllinux_*_x86_64 is specified, we will choose the lowest available
  wheel version. Fixes #​3250.

• (gazelle) Types for exposed members of python.ParserOutput are now all public.
• (gazelle) Removed the requirement for __init__.py, __main__.py, or __test__.py files to be
  present in a directory to generate a BUILD.bazel file.
• (toolchain) Updated the following toolchains to build 20250808 to patch CVE-2025-47273:

  osx_x86_64, osx_aarch64 and windows_x86_64. If you are on other platforms, you need to
  use the pip.default to configure it yourself. If you are interested in graduating the
  platform, consider helping set us up CI for them and update the documentation.
• (ci) We are now testing on Ubuntu 22.04 for RBE and non-RBE configurations.
• (core) #!/usr/bin/env bash is now used as a shebang in the stage1 bootstrap template.
• (gazelle:docs) The Gazelle docs have been migrated from {gh-path}gazelle/README.md to

  at https://rules-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gazelle/docs/index.html

{#v1-6-0-fixed}

Fixed

• (toolchains) local_runtime_repo now respects changes to the DEVELOPER_DIR and XCODE_VERSION
  repo env vars, fixing stale cache issues on macOS with system (i.e. Xcode-supplied) Python
  (#​3123).
• (pypi) Fixes an issue where builds using a bazel vendor vendor directory
  would fail if the constraints file contained environment markers. Fixes
  #​2996.
• (pypi) Wheels with BUILD.bazel (or other special Bazel files) no longer
  result in missing files at runtime
  (#​2782).
• (runfiles) The pypi runfiles package now includes py.typed to indicate it
  supports type checking
  (#​2503).
• (pypi) The pipstar defaults configuration now supports any custom platform
  name.
• (pypi) The selection of the whls has been changed and should no longer result
  in ambiguous select matches ({gh-issue}2759) and should be much more efficient
  when running bazel query due to fewer repositories being included
  ({gh-issue}2849).
• Multi-line python imports (e.g. with escaped newlines) are now correctly processed by Gazelle.
• (toolchains) local_runtime_repo works with multiarch Debian with Python 3.8
  (#​3099).
• (pypi) Expose pypi packages only common to all Python versions in all_requirements
  (#​2921).
• (repl) Normalize the path for the REPL stub to make it possible to use the
  default stub template from outside rules_python ({gh-issue}3101).
• (gazelle) Fixes gazelle adding sibling module dependencies to resolve
  absolute imports (Python 2's behavior without absolute_import). Previous
  behavior can be restored using the directive
  # gazelle:python_resolve_sibling_imports true
• (pypi) Show overridden index URL of packages when downloading metadata have failed.
  (#​2985).
• (toolchains) use "command -v" to find interpreter in $PATH
  (#​3150).
• (pypi) bazel vendor now works in bzlmod ({gh-issue}3079).
• (toolchains) local_runtime_repo now works on Windows
  (#​3055).
• (toolchains) local_runtime_repo supports more types of Python
  installations (Mac frameworks, missing dynamic libraries, and other
  esoteric cases, see
  #​3148 for details).
• (pypi) Support requirements.txt files that use different versions of the same
  package targeting different target platforms.
  (#​2797).
• (py_wheel) Add directories in deterministic order.

{#v1-6-0-added}

Added

• (repl) Default stub now has tab completion, where readline support is available,
  see (#​3114).
  (#​3114).
• (pypi) To configure the environment for requirements.txt evaluation, use the newly added
  developer preview of the pip.default tag class. Only rules_python and root modules can use
  this feature. You can also configure custom config_settings using pip.default. It
  can also be used to set the global netrc or auth_patterns variables.
• (pypi) PyPI dependencies now expose an :extracted_whl_files filegroup target
  of all the files extracted from the wheel. This can be used in lieu of
  {obj}whl_filegroup to avoid copying/extracting wheel multiple times to
  get a subset of their files.
• (gazelle) New directive gazelle:python_generate_pyi_deps; when true,
  dependencies added to satisfy type-only imports (if TYPE_CHECKING) and type
  stub packages are added to pyi_deps instead of deps.
• (toolchain) Add toolchains for aarch64 windows for
  • 3.11.13
  • 3.12.11
  • 3.13.6
  • 3.14.0rc1
• (gazelle): New annotation gazelle:include_pytest_conftest. When not set (the
  default) or true, gazelle will inject any conftest.py file found in the same
  directory as a {obj}py_test target to that {obj}py_test target's deps.
  This behavior is unchanged from previous versions. When false, the :conftest
  dep is not added to the {obj}py_test target.
• (gazelle) New directive gazelle:python_generate_proto; when true,
  Gazelle generates py_proto_library rules for proto_library. false by default.
  • Note: Users must manually configure their Gazelle target to support the
    proto language.
• (gazelle) New directive gazelle:python_proto_naming_convention; controls
  naming of py_proto_library rules.
