This directory is meant to contain Python code that is:
- Not platform-specific (e.g.
//tools/android/python_utils
). - Useful to multiple other tools.
All Python code that is used by GN actions or templates within //build
must
live under //build
, since that directory cannot have deps outside of it.
However, code here can be used by GN actions or templates that live outside of
//build
.
When adding code to this directory, or when adding a dep onto code that lives in this directory, please consider whether or not duplicating the code would actually a better choice. Code re-use is helpful, but dependencies also come with a cost, especially when it comes to being able to test changes to shared code.
