Is this extension maintained? It does not work with at least pants>=2.17

[telmop]

I recently started using pants v2. I tried using this extension to load some of the code and it doesn't even detect the codebase.

Looking into the code of the plugin, this is happening because this line is looking for a directory called pants, which doesn't exist. It also runs the binary directly (./pants instead of using the one in the path). The widgets don't seem to be working, hiding the error messages.

I cloned it locally and changed the code to get it to build, but still wasn't able to import it yet. However, it seems achievable with a few hours of work.

My question is: was this code abandoned by pants, or should I expect an update some time soon?

It also seems not to be supporting Python 3.11+.

The plugin does not work at all, but if anyone wants to run jupyter notebooks on their codebase, you can use the build rule below:

pex_binary(
    name="notebook-name",
    dependencies=[
        # Whatever packages you want to import in your notebook.
    ],
    script="jupyter-lab",
    # This is important, otherwise you'll get all kinds of errors.
    execution_mode="venv",
)

I made a fork: https://github.com/WiZeYAR/pants-jupyter-plugin-312
This fork is usable from within one of my projects (uses pants2.23 + python3.12).
If this is somehow relevant to people, we could test it out, fix some things and make a PR here

How's that sound?

I'm no longer a member of the Pantsbuild org. I think the other folks who've contributed in the past are unlikely to be involved in a reliable way either. Perhaps @benjyw can call some shots on a future for this project, which was a Twitter donation / code dump originally.

@jsirois, do you know whom I should put as a reviewer? If not, I'll ask someone via Slack. As I have said, I revived and tested the tool last week. I personally think that this extension is a great plugin for developing machine learning algos, whose codebase is inside pants repo. Great job, original devs.

@WiZeYAR I'd add @benjyw. He's the Pantsbuild owner who's still most in the loop as far as I can tell. He never interacted with this codebase I think, but he's in a position to make decisions for the org or at least loop in all relevant org folks to decide what to do with this repo.

@jsirois, thanks for the info
