So where can you start if you need to install everything +from source? + +.. note:: + + For most users, ``pip`` handles all this automatically. You should only need + to deal with this if you're building things entirely from scratch, such as + putting Python packages into another package format. + +The key piece is ``flit_core``. This is a package which can build itself using +nothing except Python and the standard library. From an unpacked source archive, +you can make a wheel by running:: + + python -m flit_core.wheel + +And then you can install this wheel with the ``bootstrap_install.py`` script +included in the sdist (or by unzipping it to the correct directory):: + + # Install to site-packages for this Python: + python bootstrap_install.py dist/flit_core-*.whl + + # Install somewhere else: + python bootstrap_install.py --installdir /path/to/site-packages dist/flit_core-*.whl + +As of version 3.6, flit_core bundles the ``tomli`` TOML parser, to avoid a +dependency cycle. If you need to unbundle it, you will need to special-case +installing flit_core and/or tomli to get around that cycle. + +After ``flit_core``, I recommend that you get `installer +<https://pypi.org/project/installer/>`_ set up. You can use +``python -m flit_core.wheel`` again to make a wheel, and then use installer +itself (from the source directory) to install it. + +After that, you probably want to get `build <https://pypi.org/project/build/>`_ +and its dependencies installed as the goal of the bootstrapping phase. You can +then use ``build`` to create wheels of any other Python packages, and +``installer`` to install them. diff --git a/doc/cmdline.rst b/doc/cmdline.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c443ddd --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/cmdline.rst @@ -0,0 +1,262 @@ +Flit command line interface +=========================== + +All operations use the ``flit`` command, followed by one of a number of +subcommands. + +Common options +-------------- + +.. program:: flit + +.. option:: -f <path>, --ini-file <path> + + Path to a config file specifying the module to build.

To use ``flit installfrom``, you can install with + ``pip install flit[installfrom]``. Note that the ``installfrom`` subcommand + is deprecated, as it will soon be possible to use pip to install Flit projects + directly from a VCS URL. + +Version 1.2 +----------- + +- Fixes for packages specifying ``requires-extra``: sdists should now work, and + environment markers can be used together with ``requires-extra``. +- Fix running ``flit installfrom`` without a config file present in the + working directory. +- The error message for a missing or empty docstring tells you what file + the docstring should be in. +- Improvements to documentation on version selectors for requirements. + +Version 1.1 +----------- + +- Packages can now have 'extras', specified as ``requires-extra`` in the + :doc:`pyproject.toml file <pyproject_toml>`. These are additional dependencies + for optional features. +- The ``home-page`` metadata field is no longer required. +- Additional project URLs are now validated. +- ``flit -V`` is now equivalent to ``flit --version``. +- Various improvements to documentation. + +Version 1.0 +----------- + +- The description file may now be written in reStructuredText, Markdown or + plain text. The file extension should indicate which of these formats it is + (``.rst``, ``.md`` or ``.txt``). Previously, only reStructuredText was + officially supported. +- Multiple links (e.g. documentation, bug tracker) can now be specified in a + new :ref:`[tool.flit.metadata.urls] section <pyproject_toml_urls>` of + ``pyproject.toml``. +- Dependencies are now correctly installed to the target Python when you use + the ``--symlink`` or ``--pth-file`` options. +- Dependencies are only installed to the Python where Flit is running if + it fails to get the docstring and version number without them. +- The commands deprecated in 0.13—``flit wheel``, ``flit sdist`` and + ``flit register``—have been removed. + +Although version 1.0 sounds like a milestone, there's nothing that makes this +release especially significant. It doesn't represent a step change in stability +or completeness. Flit has been gradually maturing for some time, and I chose +this point to end the series of 0.x version numbers. + +Version 0.13 +------------ + +- Better validation of several metadata fields (``dist-name``, ``requires``, + ``requires-python``, ``home-page``), and of the version number. +- New :envvar:`FLIT_ALLOW_INVALID` environment variable to ignore validation + failures in case they go wrong. +- The list of valid classifiers is now fetched from Warehouse (https://pypi.org), + rather than the older https://pypi.python.org site. +- Deprecated ``flit wheel`` and ``flit sdist`` subcommands: use + :ref:`build_cmd`. +- Deprecated ``flit register``: you can no longer register a package separately + from uploading it. + +Version 0.12.3 +-------------- + +- Fix building and installing packages with a ``-`` in the distribution name. +- Fix numbering in README. + +Version 0.12.2 +-------------- + +- New tool to convert ``flit.ini`` to ``pyproject.toml``:: + + python3 -m flit.tomlify + +- Use the PAX tar format for sdists, as specified by PEP 517. + +Version 0.12.1 +-------------- + +- Restore dependency on ``zipfile36`` backport package. +- Add some missing options to documentation of ``flit install`` subcommand. +- Rearrange environment variables in the docs. + +Version 0.12 +------------ + +- Switch the config to ``pyproject.toml`` by default instead of ``flit.ini``, + and implement the PEP 517 API. +- A new option ``--pth-file`` allows for development installation on Windows + (where ``--symlink`` usually won't work). +- Normalise file permissions in the zip file, making builds more reproducible + across different systems. +- Sdists (.tar.gz packages) can now also be reproducibly built by setting + :envvar:`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`. +- For most modules, Flit can now extract the version number and docstring + without importing it. It will still fall back to importing where getting + these from the AST fails. +- ``flit build`` will build the wheel from the sdist, helping to ensure that + files aren't left out of the sdist. +- All list fields in the INI file now ignore blank lines (``requires``, + ``dev-requires``, ``classifiers``). +- Fix the path separator in the ``RECORD`` file of a wheel built on Windows. +- Some minor fixes to building reproducible wheels. +- If building a wheel fails, the temporary file created will be cleaned up. +- Various improvements to docs and README. + +Version 0.11.4 +-------------- + +- Explicitly open various files as UTF-8, rather than relying on locale + encoding. +- Link to docs from README. +- Better test coverage, and a few minor fixes for problems revealed by tests. + +Version 0.11.3 +-------------- + +- Fixed a bug causing failed uploads when the password is entered in the + terminal. + +Version 0.11.2 +-------------- + +- A couple of behaviour changes when uploading to warehouse. + +Version 0.11.1 +-------------- + +- Fixed a bug when you use flit to build an sdist from a subdirectory inside a + VCS checkout. The VCS is now correctly detected. +- Fix the rst checker for newer versions of docutils, by upgrading the bundled + copy of readme_renderer. + +Version 0.11 +------------ + +- Flit can now build sdists (tarballs) and upload them to PyPI, if your code is + in a git or mercurial repository. There are new commands: + + - ``flit build`` builds both a wheel and an sdist. + - ``flit publish`` builds and uploads a wheel and an sdist. + +- Smarter ways of getting the information needed for upload: + + - If you have the `keyring <https://github.com/jaraco/keyring>`_ package + installed, flit can use it to store your password, rather than keeping it + in plain text in ``~/.pypirc``. + - If ``~/.pypirc`` does not already exist, and you are prompted for your + username, flit will write it into that file. + - You can provide the information as environment variables: + :envvar:`FLIT_USERNAME`, :envvar:`FLIT_PASSWORD` and :envvar:`FLIT_INDEX_URL`. + Use this to upload packages from a CI service, for instance. + +- Include 'LICENSE' or 'COPYING' files in wheels. +- Fix for ``flit install --symlink`` inside a virtualenv. + + +Version 0.10 +------------ + +- Downstream packagers can use the :envvar:`FLIT_NO_NETWORK` environment + variable to stop flit downloading data from the network. + +Version 0.9 +----------- + +- ``flit install`` and ``flit installfrom`` now take an optional ``--python`` argument, + with the path to the Python executable you want to install it for. + Using this, you can install modules to Python 2. +- Installing a module normally (without ``--symlink``) builds a wheel and uses + pip to install it, which should work better in some corner cases. + +Version 0.8 +----------- + +- A new ``flit installfrom`` subcommand to install a project from a source + archive, such as from Github. +- :doc:`Reproducible builds <reproducible>` - you can produce byte-for-byte + identical wheels. +- A warning for non-canonical version numbers according to `PEP 440 + <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/>`__. +- Fix for installing projects on Windows. +- Better error message when module docstring is only whitespace. + +Version 0.7 +----------- + +- A new ``dev-requires`` field in the config file for development requirements, + used when doing ``flit install``. +- Added a ``--deps`` option for ``flit install`` to control which dependencies + are installed. +- Flit can now be invoked with ``python -m flit``. + +Version 0.6 +----------- + +- ``flit install`` now ensures requirements specified in ``flit.ini`` are + installed, using pip. +- If you specify a description file, flit now warns you if it's not valid + reStructuredText (since invalid reStructuredText is treated as plain text on + PyPI). +- Improved the error message for mis-spelled keys in ``flit.ini``. + +Version 0.5 +----------- + +- A new ``flit init`` command to quickly define the essential basic metadata + for a package. +- Support for entry points. +- A new ``flit register`` command to register a package without uploading it, + for when you want to claim a name before you're ready to release. +- Added a ``--repository`` option for specifying an alternative PyPI instance. +- Added a ``--debug`` flag to show debug-level log messages. +- Better error messages when the module docstring or ``__version__`` is missing. + +Version 0.4 +----------- + +- Users can now specify ``dist-name`` in the config file if they need to use + different names on PyPI and for imports. +- Classifiers are now checked against a locally cached list of valid + classifiers. +- Packages can be locally installed into environments for development. +- Local installation now creates a PEP 376 ``.dist-info`` folder instead of + ``.egg-info``. diff --git a/doc/index.rst b/doc/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9740a9c --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,34 @@ +Flit |version| +============== + +.. raw:: html + + <img src="_static/flit_logo_nobg_cropped.svg" width="200px" style="float: right"/> + +.. include:: ../README.rst + +Documentation contents +---------------------- + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 + + pyproject_toml + cmdline + upload + reproducible + rationale + bootstrap + +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 1 + + development + history + +Indices and tables +================== + +* :ref:`genindex` +* :ref:`search` + diff --git a/doc/make.bat b/doc/make.bat new file mode 100644 index 0000000..965332d --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/make.bat @@ -0,0 +1,242 @@ +@ECHO OFF

Only "version" and "description" are accepted. + +.. _pyproject_project_dependencies: + +Dependencies +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ``dependencies`` field is a list of other packages from PyPI that this +package needs. Each package may be followed by a version specifier like +``>=4.1``, and/or an `environment marker`_ +after a semicolon. For example: + + .. code-block:: toml + + dependencies = [ + "requests >=2.6", + "configparser; python_version == '2.7'", + ] + +The ``[project.optional-dependencies]`` table contains lists of packages needed +for every optional feature. The requirements are specified in the same format as +for ``dependencies``. For example: + + .. code-block:: toml + + [project.optional-dependencies] + test = [ + "pytest >=2.7.3", + "pytest-cov", + ] + doc = ["sphinx"] + +You can call these optional features anything you want, although ``test`` and +``doc`` are common ones. You specify them for installation in square brackets +after the package name or directory, e.g. ``pip install '.[test]'``. + +.. _pyproject_project_urls: + +URLs table +~~~~~~~~~~ + +Your project's page on `pypi.org <https://pypi.org/>`_ can show a number of +links. You can point people to documentation or a bug tracker, for example. + +This section is called ``[project.urls]`` in the file. You can use +any names inside it. Here it is for flit: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [project.urls] + Documentation = "https://flit.pypa.io" + Source = "https://github.com/pypa/flit" + +.. _pyproject_project_scripts: + +Scripts section +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This section is called ``[project.scripts]`` in the file. +Each key and value describes a shell command to be installed along with +your package. These work like setuptools 'entry points'. Here's the section +for flit: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [project.scripts] + flit = "flit:main" + + +This will create a ``flit`` command, which will call the function ``main()`` +imported from :mod:`flit`. + +A similar table called ``[project.gui-scripts]`` defines commands which launch +a GUI. This only makes a difference on Windows, where GUI scripts are run +without a console. + +.. _pyproject_project_entrypoints: + +Entry points sections +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +You can declare `entry points <http://entrypoints.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ +using sections named :samp:`[project.entry-points.{groupname}]`. E.g. to +provide a pygments lexer from your package: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [project.entry-points."pygments.lexers"] + dogelang = "dogelang.lexer:DogeLexer" + +In each ``package:name`` value, the part before the colon should be an +importable module name, and the latter part should be the name of an object +accessible within that module. The details of what object to expose depend on +the application you're extending. + +If the group name contains a dot, it must be quoted (``"pygments.lexers"`` +above). Script entry points are defined in :ref:`scripts tables +<pyproject_project_scripts>`, so you can't use the group names +``console_scripts`` or ``gui_scripts`` here. + +.. _pyproject_module: + +Module section +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +If your package will have different names for installation and import, +you should specify the install (PyPI) name in the ``[project]`` table +(:ref:`see above <pyproject_toml_project>`), and the import name in a +``[tool.flit.module]`` table: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [project] + name = "pynsist" + # ... + + [tool.flit.module] + name = "nsist" + +Flit looks for the source of the package by its import name. The source may be +located either in the directory that holds the ``pyproject.toml`` file, or in a +``src/`` subdirectory. + +.. _pyproject_old_metadata: + +Old style metadata +------------------ + +Flit's older way to specify metadata is in a ``[tool.flit.metadata]`` table, +along with ``[tool.flit.scripts]`` and ``[tool.flit.entrypoints]``, described +below. This is still recognised for now, but you can't mix it with +:ref:`pyproject_toml_project`. + +There are three required fields: + +module + The name of the module/package, as you'd use in an import statement. +author + Your name +author-email + Your email address + +e.g. for flit itself + +.. code-block:: toml + + [tool.flit.metadata] + module = "flit" + author = "Thomas Kluyver" + author-email = "thomas@kluyver.me.uk" + +.. versionchanged:: 1.1 + + ``home-page`` was previously required. + +The remaining fields are optional: + +home-page + A URL for the project, such as its Github repository. +requires + A list of other packages from PyPI that this package needs. Each package may + be followed by a version specifier like ``(>=4.1)`` or ``>=4.1``, and/or an + `environment marker`_ + after a semicolon. For example: + + .. code-block:: toml + + requires = [ + "requests >=2.6", + "configparser; python_version == '2.7'", + ] + +requires-extra + Lists of packages needed for every optional feature. The requirements + are specified in the same format as for ``requires``. The requirements of + the two reserved extras ``test`` and ``doc`` as well as the extra ``dev`` + are installed by ``flit install``. For example: + + .. code-block:: toml + + [tool.flit.metadata.requires-extra] + test = [ + "pytest >=2.7.3", + "pytest-cov", + ] + doc = ["sphinx"] + + .. versionadded:: 1.1 + +description-file + A path (relative to the .toml file) to a file containing a longer description + of your package to show on PyPI. This should be written in `reStructuredText + <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html>`_, Markdown or + plain text, and the filename should have the appropriate extension + (``.rst``, ``.md`` or ``.txt``). +classifiers + A list of `Trove classifiers <https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=list_classifiers>`_. + Add ``Private :: Do Not Upload`` into the list to prevent a private package + from uploading on PyPI by accident. +requires-python + A version specifier for the versions of Python this requires, e.g. ``~=3.3`` or + ``>=3.3,<4`` which are equivalents. +dist-name + If you want your package's name on PyPI to be different from the importable + module name, set this to the PyPI name. +keywords + Comma separated list of words to help with searching for your package. +license + The name of a license, if you're using one for which there isn't a Trove + classifier.

Here it is for flit: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [tool.flit.metadata.urls] + Documentation = "https://flit.pypa.io" + +.. versionadded:: 1.0 + +.. _pyproject_toml_scripts: + +Scripts section +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +A ``[tool.flit.scripts]`` table can be used along with ``[tool.flit.metadata]``. +It is in the same format as the newer ``[project.scripts]`` table +:ref:`described above <pyproject_project_scripts>`. + +Entry points sections +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +``[tool.flit.entrypoints]`` tables can be used along with ``[tool.flit.metadata]``. +They are in the same format as the newer ``[project.entry-points]`` tables +:ref:`described above <pyproject_project_entrypoints>`. + +.. _pyproject_toml_sdist: + +Sdist section +------------- + +.. versionadded:: 2.0 + +When you use :ref:`build_cmd` or :ref:`publish_cmd`, Flit builds an sdist +(source distribution) tarball containing the files that are checked into version +control (git or mercurial). If you want more control, or it doesn't recognise +your version control system, you can give lists of paths or glob patterns as +``include`` and ``exclude`` in this section. For example: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [tool.flit.sdist] + include = ["doc/"] + exclude = ["doc/*.html"] + +These paths: + +- Always use ``/`` as a separator (POSIX style) +- Must be relative paths from the directory containing ``pyproject.toml`` +- Cannot go outside that directory (no ``../`` paths) +- Cannot contain control characters or ``<>:"\\`` +- Can refer to directories, in which case they include everything under the + directory, including subdirectories +- Should match the case of the files they refer to, as case-insensitive matching + is platform dependent + +.. versionchanged:: 3.8 + Include and exclude patterns can now use recursive glob patterns (``**``). + +Exclusions have priority over inclusions. Bytecode is excluded by default and cannot +be included. + +.. note:: + + If you are not using :ref:`build_cmd` but ``flit_core`` via another build + frontend, Flit doesn't doesn't check the VCS for files to include but instead + builds a 'minimal' sdist (which includes the files necessary to build a wheel). + You'll have to adapt your inclusion/exclusion rules to achieve the same result + as you'd get with :ref:`build_cmd`. + +.. _pyproject_toml_external_data: + +External data section +--------------------- + +.. versionadded:: 3.7 + +Data files which your code will use should go inside the Python package folder. +Flit will package these with no special configuration. + +However, sometimes it's useful to package external files for system integration, +such as man pages or files defining a Jupyter extension. To do this, arrange +the files within a directory such as ``data``, next to your ``pyproject.toml`` +file, and add a section like this: + +.. code-block:: toml + + [tool.flit.external-data] + directory = "data" + +Paths within this directory are typically installed to corresponding paths under +a prefix (such as a virtualenv directory). E.g. you might save a man page for a +script as ``(data)/share/man/man1/foo.1``. + +Whether these files are detected by the systems they're meant to integrate with +depends on how your package is installed and how those systems are configured. +For instance, installing in a virtualenv usually doesn't affect anything outside +that environment. Don't rely on these files being picked up unless you have +close control of how the package will be installed. + +If you install a package with ``flit install --symlink``, a symlink is made +for each file in the external data directory. Otherwise (including development +installs with ``pip install -e``), these files are copied to their destination, +so changes here won't take effect until you reinstall the package. + +.. note:: + + For users coming from setuptools: external data corresponds to setuptools' + ``data_files`` parameter, although setuptools offers more flexibility. + +.. _environment marker: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0508/#environment-markers diff --git a/doc/rationale.rst b/doc/rationale.rst new file mode 100644 index 0000000..559f79e --- /dev/null +++ b/doc/rationale.rst @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ +Why use Flit? +============= + +*Make the easy things easy and the hard things possible* is an old motto from +the Perl community. Flit is entirely focused on the *easy things* part of that, +and leaves the hard things up to other tools. + +Specifically, the easy things are pure Python packages with no build steps +(neither compiling C code, nor bundling Javascript, etc.). The vast majority of +packages on PyPI are like this: plain Python code, with maybe some static data +files like icons included. + +It's easy to underestimate the challenges involved in distributing and +installing code, because it seems like you just need to copy some files into +the right place. There's a whole lot of metadata and tooling that has to work +together around that fundamental step. But with the right tooling, a developer +who wants to release their code doesn't need to know about most of that. + +What, specifically, does Flit make easy? + +- ``flit init`` helps you set up the information Flit needs about your + package. +- Subpackages are automatically included: you only need to specify the + top-level package. +- Data files within a package directory are automatically included. + Missing data files has been a common packaging mistake with other tools. +- The version number is taken from your package's ``__version__`` attribute, + so that always matches the version that tools like pip see. +- ``flit publish`` uploads a package to PyPI, so you don't need a separate tool + to do this. + +Setuptools, the most common tool for Python packaging, now has shortcuts for +many of the same things. But it has to stay compatible with projects published +many years ago, which limits what it can do by default. + +Flit also has some support for :doc:`reproducible builds <reproducible>`, +a feature which some people care about. + +There have been many other efforts to improve the user experience of Python +packaging, such as `pbr <https://pypi.org/project/pbr/>`_, but before Flit, +these tended to build on setuptools and distutils. That was a pragmatic +decision, but it's hard to build something radically different on top of those +libraries. The existence of Flit spurred the development of new standards, +like :pep:`518` and :pep:`517`, which are now used by other packaging tools +such as `Poetry <https://python-poetry.org/>`_ and +`Enscons <https://pypi.org/project/enscons/>`_. + +Other options +------------- + +If your package needs a build step, you won't be able to use Flit. +`Setuptools <https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ is the de-facto +standard, but newer tools such as Enscons_ also cover this case. + +Flit also doesn't help you manage dependencies: you have to add them to +``pyproject.toml`` by hand.
