## Summary
This PR refactors our `RemoteDistribution` type such that it now follows
a clear hierarchy that matches the actual variants, and encodes the
differences between source and built distributions:
```rust
pub enum Distribution {
Built(BuiltDistribution),
Source(SourceDistribution),
}
pub enum BuiltDistribution {
Registry(RegistryBuiltDistribution),
DirectUrl(DirectUrlBuiltDistribution),
}
pub enum SourceDistribution {
Registry(RegistrySourceDistribution),
DirectUrl(DirectUrlSourceDistribution),
Git(GitSourceDistribution),
}
/// A built distribution (wheel) that exists in a registry, like `PyPI`.
pub struct RegistryBuiltDistribution {
pub name: PackageName,
pub version: Version,
pub file: File,
}
/// A built distribution (wheel) that exists at an arbitrary URL.
pub struct DirectUrlBuiltDistribution {
pub name: PackageName,
pub url: Url,
}
/// A source distribution that exists in a registry, like `PyPI`.
pub struct RegistrySourceDistribution {
pub name: PackageName,
pub version: Version,
pub file: File,
}
/// A source distribution that exists at an arbitrary URL.
pub struct DirectUrlSourceDistribution {
pub name: PackageName,
pub url: Url,
}
/// A source distribution that exists in a Git repository.
pub struct GitSourceDistribution {
pub name: PackageName,
pub url: Url,
}
```
Most of the PR just stems downstream from this change. There are no
behavioral changes, so I'm largely relying on lint, tests, and the
compiler for correctness.
One of the most common errors i observed are build failures due to
missing header files. On ubuntu, this generally means that you need to
install some `<...>-dev` package that the documentation tells you about,
e.g. [mysqlclient](https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient#linux) needs
`default-libmysqlclient-dev`, [some psycopg
versions](https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/basic/install.html#local-installation)
(i remember that this was always required at some earlier point) require
`libpq-dev` and pygraphviz wants `graphviz-dev`. This is quite common
for many scientific packages (where conda has an advantage because they
can provide those package as a dependency).
The error message can be completely inscrutable if you're just a python
programmer (or user) and not a c programmer (example: pygraphviz):
```
warning: no files found matching '*.png' under directory 'doc'
warning: no files found matching '*.txt' under directory 'doc'
warning: no files found matching '*.css' under directory 'doc'
warning: no previously-included files matching '*~' found anywhere in distribution
warning: no previously-included files matching '*.pyc' found anywhere in distribution
warning: no previously-included files matching '.svn' found anywhere in distribution
no previously-included directories found matching 'doc/build'
pygraphviz/graphviz_wrap.c:3020:10: fatal error: graphviz/cgraph.h: No such file or directory
3020 | #include "graphviz/cgraph.h"
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
```
The only relevant part is `Fatal error: graphviz/cgraph.h: No such file
or directory`. Why is this file not there and how do i get it to be
there?
This is even harder to spot in pip's output, where it's 11 lines above
the last line:

I've special cased missing headers and made sure that the last line
tells you the important information: We're missing some header, please
check the documentation of {package} {version} for what to install:

Scrolling up:

The difference gets even clearer with a default ubuntu terminal with its
80 columns:

---
Note that the situation is better for a missing compiler, there i get:
```
[...]
warning: no previously-included files matching '*~' found anywhere in distribution
warning: no previously-included files matching '*.pyc' found anywhere in distribution
warning: no previously-included files matching '.svn' found anywhere in distribution
no previously-included directories found matching 'doc/build'
error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory
---
```
Putting the last line into google, the first two results tell me to
`sudo apt-get install gcc`, the third even tells me about `sudo apt
install build-essential`
By default, we will build source distributions for both resolving and
installing, running arbitrary code. `--no-build` adds an option to ban
this and only install from wheels, no source distributions or git builds
allowed. We also don't fetch these and instead report immediately.
I've heard from users for whom this is a requirement, i'm implementing
it now because it's helpful for testing.
I'm thinking about adding a shared `PuffinSharedArgs` struct so we don't
have to repeat each option everywhere.
We now write the `direct_url.json` when installing, and _skip_
installing if we find a package installed via the direct URL that the
user is requesting.
A lot of TODOs, especially around cleaning up the `Source` abstraction
and its relationship to `DirectUrl`. I'm gonna keep working on these
today, but this works and makes the requirements clear.
Closes#332.
## Summary
This PR just adds the logic in `install-wheel-rs` to write
`direct_url.json`. We're not actually taking advantage of it yet (or
wiring it through) in Puffin.
Part of https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/issues/332.
## Summary
This is a first-pass at adding source distribution support to the
installer.
The previous installation flow was:
1. Come up with a plan.
1. Find a distribution (specific file) for every package that we'll need
to download.
1. Download those distributions.
1. Unzip them (since we assumed they were all wheels).
1. Install them into the virtual environment.
Now, Step (3) downloads both wheels and source distributions, and we
insert a step between Steps (3) and (4) to build any source
distributions into zipped wheels.
There are a bunch of TODOs, the most important (IMO) is that we
basically have two implementations of downloading and building, between
the stuff in `puffin_installer` and `puffin_resolver` (namely in
`crates/puffin-resolver/src/distribution`). I didn't attempt to clean
that up here -- it's already a problem, and it's related to the overall
problem we need to solve around unified caching and resource management.
Closes#243.
This PR makes the cache non-optional in most of Puffin, which simplifies
the code, allows us to reuse the cache within a single command (even
with `--no-cache`), and also allows us to use the cache for disk storage
across an invocation.
I left the cache as optional for the `Virtualenv` and `InterpreterInfo`
abstractions, since those are generic enough that it seems nice to have
a non-cached version, but it's kind of arbitrary.
The normalized name abstractions were not consistently, this PR uses
them where they were previously missing:
* `WheelFilename::distribution`
* `Requirement::name`
* `Requirement::extras`
* `Metadata21::name`
* `Metadata21::provides_dist`
With `puffin-package` depending on `pep508_rs` this would be cyclical
crate dependency, so `puffin-normalize` gets split out from
`puffin-package`.
`DistInfoName` has the same task and semantics as `PackageName`, so it's
merged into the latter.
`PackageName` and `ExtraName` documentation is moved onto the type and
their constructors are called `new` instead of `normalize`. We now use
these constructors rarely enough the implicit allocation by
`to_string()` shouldn't matter anymore, while more actual cloning
becomes visible.
## Summary
This PR adds support for resolving and installing dependencies via
direct URLs, like:
```
werkzeug @ 960bb4017c4aed12b5ed8b78e0153e/Werkzeug-2.0.0-py3-none-any.whl
```
These are fairly common (e.g., with `torch`), but you most often see
them as Git dependencies.
Broadly, structs like `RemoteDistribution` and friends are now enums
that can represent either registry-based dependencies or URL-based
dependencies:
```rust
/// A built distribution (wheel) that exists as a remote file (e.g., on `PyPI`).
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
#[allow(clippy::large_enum_variant)]
pub enum RemoteDistribution {
/// The distribution exists in a registry, like `PyPI`.
Registry(PackageName, Version, File),
/// The distribution exists at an arbitrary URL.
Url(PackageName, Url),
}
```
In the resolver, we now allow packages to take on an extra, optional
`Url` field:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, Clone, Eq, Derivative)]
#[derivative(PartialEq, Hash)]
pub enum PubGrubPackage {
Root,
Package(
PackageName,
Option<DistInfoName>,
#[derivative(PartialEq = "ignore")]
#[derivative(PartialOrd = "ignore")]
#[derivative(Hash = "ignore")]
Option<Url>,
),
}
```
However, for the purpose of version satisfaction, we ignore the URL.
This allows for the URL dependency to satisfy the transitive request in
cases like:
```
flask==3.0.0
werkzeug @ 254c3e9b5f5941e900b71206e6313b/werkzeug-3.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
```
There are a couple limitations in the current approach:
- The caching for remote URLs is done separately in the resolver vs. the
installer. I decided not to sweat this too much... We need to figure out
caching holistically.
- We don't support any sort of time-based cache for remote URLs -- they
just exist forever. This will be a problem for URL dependencies, where
we need some way to evict and refresh them. But I've deferred it for
now.
- I think I need to redo how this is modeled in the resolver, because
right now, we don't detect a variety of invalid cases, e.g., providing
two different URLs for a dependency, asking for a URL dependency and a
_different version_ of the same dependency in the list of first-party
dependencies, etc.
- (We don't yet support VCS dependencies.)
This also allows us to get rid of `PinnedPackage` _and_ to remove some
`Result<...>` types due to needless conversions between
otherwise-identical types.
Previously, we had two python interpreter metadata structs, one in
gourgeist and one in puffin. Both would spawn a subprocess to query
overlapping metadata and both would appear in the cli crate, if you
weren't careful you could even have to different base interpreters at
once. This change unifies this to one set of metadata, queried and
cached once.
Another effect of this crate is proper separation of python interpreter
and venv. A base interpreter (such as `/usr/bin/python/`, but also pyenv
and conda installed python) has a set of metadata. A venv has a root and
inherits the base python metadata except for `sys.prefix`, which unlike
`sys.base_prefix`, gets set to the venv root. From the root and the
interpreter info we can compute the paths inside the venv. We can reuse
the interpreter info of the base interpreter when creating a venv
without having to query the newly created `python`.
This is isn't ready, but it can resolve
`meine_stadt_transparent==0.2.14`.
The source distributions are currently being built serially one after
the other, i don't know if that is incidentally due to the resolution
order, because sdist building is blocking or because of something in the
resolver that could be improved.
It's a bit annoying that the thing that was supposed to do http requests
now suddenly also has to a whole download/unpack/resolve/install/build
routine, it messes up the type hierarchy. The much bigger problem though
is avoid recursive crate dependencies, it's the reason for the callback
and for splitting the builder into two crates (badly named atm)
As elsewhere, we just use the `pip` and `pip-compile` APIs. So we
support `--index-url` to override PyPI, then `--extra-index-url` to add
_additional_ indexes, and `--no-index` to avoid hitting the index at
all.
Closes#156.
Allows the user to select between clone, hardlink, and copy semantics
for installs. (The pnpm documentation has a decent description of what
these mean: https://pnpm.io/npmrc#package-import-method.)
Closes#159.
The need for this became clear when working on the source distribution
integration into the resolver.
While at it i also switch the `WheelFilename` version to the parsed
`pep440_rs` version now that we have this crate.
Gets rid of the custom `DistInfo` struct in the site-packages
abstraction in favor of a new kind of distribution
(`InstalledDistribution`). No change in behavior.
This fixes two bugs on linux:
`/tmp` and `$HOME` are technically on two different partitions on my
machine, which means that rename-as-atomic-dir-write doesn't work. The
solution is to create the temp dir in the target directory.
zip files may contain directory entries, we can't create files for them
but need to create directories. We could skip them though because iirc
they are not in the RECORD so they won't be uninstalled.
It looks like using _either_ async Rust with a `JoinSet` _or_
parallelizing a fixed threadpool with Rayon provide about a ~5% speed-up
over our current serial approach:

It's much easier to just parallelize with Rayon and avoid async in the
underlying wheel code, so this PR takes that approach for now.
When we go to install a locked `requirements.txt`, if a wheel is already
available in the local cache, and matches the version specifiers, we can
just use it directly without fetching the package metadata. This speeds
up the no-op case by about 33%.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/issues/48.
I think this isn't necessary to support in this generic crate. If we
choose to adopt Monotrail-style concepts, we'll likely need to rework
them anyway.
The setup is now as follows:
- All user-facing logging goes through `tracing` at an `info` leve.
(This excludes messages that go to `stdout`, like the compiled
`requirements.txt` file.)
- We have `--quiet` and `--verbose` command-line flags to set the
tracing filter and format defaults. So if you use `--verbose`, we
include timestamps and targets, and filter at `puffin=debug` level.
- However, we always respect `RUST_LOG`. So you can override the
_filter_ via `RUST_LOG`.
For example: the standard setup filters to `puffin=info`, and doesn't
show timestamps or targets:

If you run with `--verbose`, you get debug logging, but confined to our
crates:

src="https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/assets/1309177/c5c1af11-7f7a-4038-a173-d9eca4c3630b">
If you want verbose logging with _all_ crates, you can add
`RUST_LOG=debug`:
<img width="1235" alt="Screen Shot 2023-10-08 at 3 42 39 PM"
src="https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/assets/1309177/0b5191f4-4db0-4db9-86ba-6f9fa521bcb6">
I think this is a reasonable setup, though we can see how it feels and
refine over time.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/issues/57.
This PR massively speeds up the case in which you need to install wheels
that already exist in the global cache.
The new strategy is as follows:
- Download the wheel into the content-addressed cache.
- Unzip the wheel into the cache, but ignore content-addressing. It
turns out that writing to `cacache` for every file in the zip added a
ton of overhead, and I don't see any actual advantages to doing so.
Instead, we just unzip the contents into a directory at, e.g.,
`~/.cache/puffin/django-4.1.5`.
- (The unzip itself is now parallelized with Rayon.)
- When installing the wheel, we now support unzipping from a directory
instead of a zip archive. This required duplicating and tweaking a few
functions.
- When installing the wheel, we now use reflinks (or copy-on-write
links). These have a few fantastic properties: (1) they're extremely
cheap to create (on macOS, they are allegedly faster than hard links);
(2) they minimize disk space, since we avoid copying files entirely in
the vast majority of cases; and (3) if the user then edits a file
locally, the cache doesn't get polluted. Orogene, Bun, and soon pnpm all
use reflinks.
Puffin is now ~15x faster than `pip` for the common case of installing
cached data into a fresh environment.
