Using Bzlmod

Add to your MODULE.bazel file:

bazel_dep(name = "rules_python", version = "1.6.1")

python = use_extension("@​rules_python//python/extensions:python.bzl", "python")
python.toolchain(
    python_version = "3.13",
)

pip = use_extension("@​rules_python//python/extensions:pip.bzl", "pip")
pip.parse(
    hub_name = "pypi",
    python_version = "3.13",
    requirements_lock = "//:requirements_lock.txt",
)

use_repo(pip, "pypi")

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

v1.6.0

{#v1-6-0-changed}

Changed

• (gazelle) update minimum gazelle version to 0.36.0 - may cause BUILD file changes
• (gazelle) update minimum rules_go version to 0.55.1
• (gazelle) remove custom go-tree-sitter module BUILD file
• (gazelle) For package mode, resolve dependencies when imports are relative
  to the package path. This is enabled via the
  # gazelle:python_experimental_allow_relative_imports true directive ({gh-issue}2203).
• (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:
  • 3.9.23
  • 3.10.18
  • 3.11.13
  • 3.12.11
  • 3.14.0rc1
• (toolchain) Python 3.13 now references 3.13.6
• (gazelle) Switched back to smacker/go-tree-sitter, fixing
  #​2630
• (pypi) From now on the list of default platforms only includes linux_x86_64, linux_aarch64,
  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
  {gh-path}gazelle/docs and are now available on the primary documentation site
  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.
