 # How to use a common set of dependencies with multiple PyPI versions
 
-In this guide, we show how to handle a situation common to monorepos
-that extensively share code: How does a common library refer to the correct
-`@pypi_<name>` hub when binaries may have their own requirements (and thus
-PyPI hub name)? Stated as code, this situation:
+In this guide, we show how to handle a situation common to monorepos that
+extensively share code: How do multiple binaries utilize distinct requirements
+files while pulling from shared internal libraries, without requiring
+manually-maintained `select()` logic inside dependency targets?
 
-```bzl
+Stated as code, consider this example:
 
+```bzl
+# When building bin_alpha, requests and more_itertools should resolve
+# from requirements_alpha.txt
 py_binary(
-  name = "bin_alpha",
-  deps = ["@pypi_alpha//requests", ":common"],
+    name = "bin_alpha",
+    deps = [
+        "@pypi//requests",
+        ":common",
+    ],
 )
+
+# When building bin_beta, requests and more_itertools should resolve
+# from requirements_beta.txt
 py_binary(
-  name = "bin_beta",
-  deps = ["@pypi_beta//requests", ":common"],
+    name = "bin_beta",
+    deps = [
+        "@pypi//requests",
+        ":common",
+    ],
 )
 
+# Transitive dependencies like more_itertools are requested here, but
+# must automatically match whichever dependency track is active for the binary.
 py_library(
-  name = "common",
-  deps = ["@pypi_???//more_itertools"] # <-- Which @pypi repo?

 ```
 
-## Using flags to pick a hub
+## Defining dependency tracks via custom platforms
 
-The basic trick to make `:common` pick the appropriate `@pypi_<name>` is to use
-`select()` to choose one based on build flags. To help this process, `py_binary`
-et al allow forcing particular build flags to be used, and custom flags can be
-registered to allow `py_binary` et al to set them.
+The solution involves defining custom "platforms" mapped to separate
+dependency tracks inside `MODULE.bazel`. Using custom platforms via
+{obj}`pip.default` and associating requirements files to them through the
+`requirements_by_platform` attribute on {obj}`pip.parse` instructs
+`rules_python` to generate `select()` logic behind a unified hub.
 
-In this example, we create a custom string flag named `//:pypi_hub`,
-register it to allow using it with `py_binary` directly, then use `select()`
-to pick different dependencies.
+Binaries configure their execution requirements by forcing flag transition
+attributes using custom build setting flags.
 
-```bzl
+In this example, we define custom string flag named `//:pypi_hub`, setup
+distinct custom platforms for `"alpha"` and `"beta"` profiles, and register
+associated requirements lock files grouped inside the `@pypi` hub.

-When `bin_alpha` and `bin_beta` are built, they will have the `pypi_hub`
-flag force to their respective value. When `:common` is evaluated, it sees
-the flag value of the binary that is consuming it, and the `select()` resolves
-appropriately.
+When building `bin_alpha` or `bin_beta`, they set `//:pypi_hub` via target
+transitions. The generated aliased dependencies inside the `@pypi` hub will
+evaluate that Bazel configuration, automatically delivering corresponding
+Python wheels from targeted lock files.
