Pants: A fast, scalable build system


Pants Report Page


Pants is a build system designed for codebases that:

  • Are large and/or growing rapidly.
  • Consist of many subprojects that share a significant amount of code.
  • Have complex dependencies on third-party libraries.
  • Use a variety of languages, code generators and frameworks.


Pants supports Java, Scala, Python, C/C++, Go, Javascript/Node, Thrift, Protobuf and Android code. Adding support for other languages, frameworks and code generators is straightforward.

Pants is a collaborative open-source project, built and used by Twitter, Toolchain, Foursquare, Square, Medium and other companies.


If you are only using Python in your project, check out pants.readme.io/docs for documentation using the improved V2 implementation.
