Description
# 🚀 feature request
### Relevant Rules
Relevant rules are `//python/bin:repl` & `//python/bin:repl_env`.
### Description
Goal would be to enable repl use similar to how is is used now:
`bazel run @rules_python//python/bin:repl --@rules_python//python/bin:repl_dep=//python:my_rule_with_deps`
This is how I start interactive shells with access to runfiles and python packages depended on by the specified label.
It would be convenient to also enable the same for environment variables specified in that label. Could potentially be added to repl_dep. Alternative is:
--@rules_python//python/bin:repl_env=//python:my_rule_with_deps
### Potential Solution
Could add env attr assingment [here](https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/blob/bb2aad2d1e3f883c9cdc2264e0b4a2815233db57/python/bin/BUILD.bazel#L34).
kwargs forwarding should take care of any changes needed in py_binary_rule impl (I think).
