I’m working on a Python project where I need to use Bazel to manage my builds. I want to run my Python application using gunicorn as the HTTP server. I’ve already added gunicorn as a dependency in my requirements.txt file. However, I’m not sure how to configure Bazel to use gunicorn as the runner for my application. Can someone provide a clear example or guide on how to set this up?

Here is what I have so far:

requirements.txt:

flask
gunicorn

_pip_parse(
        name = "embeddings_requirements",
        python_interpreter_target = interpreter,
        requirements_lock = "//service:requirements.txt"
)

BUILD.bazel:

load("@aspect_rules_py//py:defs.bzl", "py_binary")

    py_binary(
        name = name,
        srcs = merged_srcs,
        data = merged_data,
        env = binary_env,
        imports = ["src", "."],
        main = main,
        tags = merged_tags,
        toolchains = merged_toolchains,
        visibility = merged_visibility,
        deps = merged_deps
    )
