Subpar ignores Bazel imports

[calder]

Subpar ignores Bazel py_library imports attributes. This is needed by any workspace with interdependent Python setuptools packages.

The TODO currently references a Buganizer issue: https://github.com/google/subpar/blob/master/subpar.bzl#L62

Minimal example

Directory structure

• WORKSPACE
• foo/
  • BUILD
  • foo/
    • __init__.py
    • lib.py
    • main.py

Contents

WORKSPACE:

git_repository(
    name = "subpar",
    remote = "https://github.com/google/subpar",
    tag = "1.0.0",
)

foo/BUILD:

load("@subpar//:subpar.bzl", "par_binary")

py_library(
    name = "foo",
    srcs = ["foo/lib.py"],
    imports = ["."],
)

par_binary(
    name = "foo_main",
    srcs = ["foo/main.py"],
    main = "foo/main.py",
    deps = [
        ":foo",
    ],
)

foo/foo/__init__.py: empty
foo/foo/lib.py:

x = 123

• foo/foo/main.py:

from foo.lib import x

print "x = %d" % x

Result

Actually, in this case, it should work, but my brittle workaround is finding the wrong foo first. I should be able to reorder the heuristic.
