API
Locate and provide paths to bundled or system Pact CLI executables.
This module exists solely to bundle and distribute the Pact CLI tools as a Python package. It does not provide any substantive functionality beyond locating the Pact CLI executables and providing their paths for use in Python code.
The module exposes constants for the absolute paths to the Pact CLI executables (such as
pact-broker, pact-message, pact-mock-service, and pact-provider-verifier).
By default, the module will use the binaries bundled with the package. If the
environment variable PACT_USE_SYSTEM_BINS is set to TRUE or YES, or if the bundled
binaries are unavailable, it will fall back to using the system-installed Pact CLI tools
if found in the system PATH.
This package is intended for use as a dependency to ensure the Pact CLI is available in Python environments, such as CI pipelines or local development, without requiring a separate installation step.
