# starlark_import package This allows soong to read constant information from starlark files. At package initialization time, soong will read `build/bazel/constants_exported_to_soong.bzl`, and then make the variables from that file available via `starlark_import.GetStarlarkValue()`. So to import a new variable, it must be added to `constants_exported_to_soong.bzl` and then it can be accessed by name. Only constant information can be read, since this is not a full bazel execution but a standalone starlark interpreter. This means you can't use bazel contructs like `rule`, `provider`, `select`, `glob`, etc. All starlark files that were loaded must be added as ninja deps that cause soong to rerun. The loaded files can be retrieved via `starlark_import.GetNinjaDeps()`.
