# 🐞 bug report
### Affected Rule
```
use_extension("@rules_python//python/extensions:pip.bzl", "pip")
```
### Is this a regression?
Between old `WORKSPACE` rules and `bzlmod`, potentially yes - so long as you knew the order you were defining dependencies.
### Description
A third party project called foo uses `rules_python` and `bzlmod` to bring in pip dependencies:
```
pip = use_extension("@rules_python//python/extensions:pip.bzl", "pip")
pip.parse(
hub_name = "foo_pip_deps",
python_version = "3.11",
requirements_lock = "@foo//:requirements_lock.txt",
)
use_repo(pip, "foo_pip_deps")
```
This dependency is implicitly used as part of a library this third party defines. This `requirements_lock.txt` uses a pip module `matplotlib` at v1.
```
load("@foo_pip_deps//:requirements.bzl", "requirement")
py_library(
name = "foo",
srcs = ["foo.py"],
imports = ["."],
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
deps = [requirement("matplotlib")], #v1
)
```
My root project uses the pip extension and its own `requirements_lock.txt` file to bring in `matplotlib` at v2.
If I depend on the `@foo` project:
```
load("@bar_pip_deps//:requirements.bzl", "requirement")
py_binary(
name = "main",
srcs = ["main.py"],
deps = [
"@foo",
requirement("matplotlib"), #v2
],
)
```
The target will now use `matplotlib` at v1. Even though my root project specifically asks for v2.
