# 🐞 bug report

### Affected Rule

`py_binary` and `py_test`

### Is this a regression?

No

### Description

Hermetic toolchains incur a significant overhead to executing Python targets due to the large amount of files which are added to the runfiles tree.
You find an analysis of the issue here: https://github.com/martis42/show_hermetic_python_overhead

Bazel caching of course negates much of this issue in daily working.
Still, whenever a test has to rerun we pay this additional overhead.

I don't know if there is a "perfect" solution possible given how Bazel sandboxing works.
However, it would be great if rues_python would add a note in its documentation for hermetic toolchains that adding `--nolegacy_external_runfiles` to the `.bazelrc` file is recommended.

Maybe the `rules_python` maintainer can even convince the Bazel maintainer to prioritize working on flipping `--legacy_external_runfiles` in Bazel 8 ?
