py_image and overlapping module paths

[rockwotj]

For py image, I'm trying to use Firestore, so I have requirements like:

py3_image(
    name = "foo",
    srcs = ["foo.py"],
    deps = [
        requirement("cachetools"),
        requirement("certifi"),
        requirement("chardet"),
        requirement("future"),
        requirement("google-api-core"),
        requirement("google-auth"),
        requirement("google-cloud-core"),
        requirement("google-cloud-firestore"),
        requirement("googleapis-common-protos"),
        requirement("grpcio"),
        requirement("idna"),
        requirement("protobuf"),
        requirement("pyasn1-modules"),
        requirement("pyasn1"),
        requirement("pytz"),
        requirement("requests"),
        requirement("rsa"),
        requirement("s2sphere"),
        requirement("six"),
        requirement("urllib3"),
    ],
)

and I get an error for py_image:

    from google.cloud import firestore
ImportError: No module named 'google.cloud'

It seems looking at the available modules, only google.api_core exists, if I make the Firestore dep the first on the list, it seems that other google cloud packages don't exist. (basing this off import google; help(google);).

Is there a work around?

Duplicate of bazelbuild/rules_python#65

@rockwotj did you find a way to fix this problem?

[rockwotj]

Nope I think I came to conclusion that pip is not well supported in bazel and I switched languages
