Description

🚀 feature request

Relevant Rules

I would like to add support for passing additional files to the pip_parse rule.

Description

This feature request is a follow-up to https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/issues/3858.

After passing a custom certificate to compile_pip_requirements, we also need a way to pass a custom certificate, or another pip-related file (i.e. pip config with a certificate), to pip_parse.

I tried to find a way to do this, but it looks like pip_parse does not currently accept data or another label-based attribute for passing extra files to the repository rule.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like pip_parse to support an additional label-based attribute for files needed by pip, for example extra_files, pip_config, or ssl_cert.

The most general option seems to be something like extra_files, because certificates can be passed to pip in more than one way: --cert=, PIP_CERT, or PIP_CONFIG_FILE.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The main alternative I considered is passing the pip config file or SSL certificate through PIP_CONFIG_FILE or PIP_CERT environment variables. However, this requires using raw paths, while I would prefer a Bazel-native labels approach.

If there is already a supported way to do such thing, please let me know.
