## Using Bzlmod with Bazel 6

Add to your \`MODULE.bazel\` file:

\`\`\`starlark
bazel_dep(name = "rules_python", version = "${TAG}")

pip = use_extension("@rules_python//python:extensions.bzl", "pip")

pip.parse(
    name = "pip",
    requirements_lock = "//:requirements_lock.txt",
)

use_repo(pip, "pip")

# (Optional) Register a specific python toolchain instead of using the host version
python = use_extension("@rules_python//python:extensions.bzl", "python")

python.toolchain(
    name = "python3_9",
    python_version = "3.9",
)

use_repo(python, "python3_9_toolchains")

register_toolchains(
    "@python3_9_toolchains//:all",
)

## Using WORKSPACE

Paste this snippet into your \`WORKSPACE\` file:

\`\`\`starlark
load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")

http_archive(
    name = "rules_python",
    sha256 = "${SHA}",
    strip_prefix = "${PREFIX}",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/releases/download/${TAG}/rules_python-${TAG}.tar.gz",
)

load("@rules_python//python:repositories.bzl", "py_repositories")

py_repositories()

load("@bazel_tools//tools/build_defs/repo:http.bzl", "http_archive")
http_archive(
    name = "rules_python_gazelle_plugin",
    sha256 = "${SHA}",
    strip_prefix = "${PREFIX}/gazelle",
    url = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_python/releases/download/${TAG}/rules_python-${TAG}.tar.gz",
