## Background
In virtual environments, we want to install python programs as console
commands, e.g. `black .` over `python -m black .`. They may be called
[entrypoints](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/entry-points/)
or scripts. For entrypoints, we're given a module name and function to
call in that module.
On Unix, we generate a minimal python script launcher. Text files are
runnable on unix by adding a shebang at their top, e.g.
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python
```
will make the operating system run the file with the current python
interpreter. A venv launcher for black in `/home/ferris/colorize/.venv`
(module name: `black`, function to call: `patched_main`) would look like
this:
```python
#!/home/ferris/colorize/.venv/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from black import patched_main
if __name__ == "__main__":
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r"(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$", "", sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(patched_main())
```
On windows, this doesn't work, we can only rely on launching `.exe`
files.
## Summary
We use posy's rust implementation of a trampoline, which is based on
distlib's c++ implementation. We pre-build a minimal exe and append the
launcher script as stored zip archive behind it. The exe will look for
the venv python interpreter next to it and use it to execute the
appended script.
The changes in this PR make the `black` entrypoint work:
```powershell
cargo run -- venv .venv
cargo run -q -- pip install black
.\.venv\Scripts\black --version
```
Integration with our existing tests will be done in follow-up PRs.
## Implementation and Details
I've vendored the posy trampoline crate. It is a formatted, renamed and
slightly changed for embedding version of
https://github.com/njsmith/posy/pull/28.
The posy launchers are smaller than the distlib launchers, 16K vs 106K
for black. Currently only `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` is supported. The
crate requires a nightly compiler for its no-std binary size tricks.
On windows, an application can be launched with a console or without (to
create windows instead), which needs two different launchers. The gui
launcher will subsequently use `pythonw.exe` while the console launcher
uses `python.exe`.
## Summary
This ensures that (like Cargo) we don't suffer from
https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-r5w3-xm58-jv6j, by way of checking
known hosts when fetching via `libgit2`.
The implementation is taken from Cargo itself, modified to remove all
configuration, since we don't yet support configuration for known hosts,
etc.
Closes#285.
Our existing detection doesn't work on Windows, because we canoncalize
the interpreter path but not `info.sys_executable`, so the former
includes the UNC prefix, etc. This is cross-platform and gets at the
intent of the check.
## Summary
When we unzip wheels in the cache, we write the directories out to an
`archive-v0` bucket, and then symlink into that bucket from the
`wheels-v0` and `built-wheels-v0` buckets.
On Windows, symlinks are not well supported. Specifically, they need to
be explicitly enabled by the user. So, instead of symlinks, we now use
junctions, which are well-supported on Windows, and allow you to
(effectively) symlink a directory to another directory. This PR
implements said junction support, which gets the core installer working
on Windows.
In the past, we also used symlinks to implement another primitive: we
wanted to be able to replace a directory "atomically" (I put
"atomically" in quotes because I don't know if it's actually a
guaranteed atomic operation), in case someone was trying to use the
directory while we were replacing it (as opposed to deleting the
directory, then moving it into place).
On Windows, it doesn't appear to be possible to atomically replace a
junction. So instead, I'm using a new design, whereby the cache always
returns canonicalized paths. We know these canonicalized paths are
unique and won't be replaced, so they're safe for writers to rely on. In
general, when we write new data to the cache, we now return the
canonicalized path. When we read from the cache, and try to identify
(e.g.) the set of wheels available to us, we canonicalize the links
immediately and consider them non-existent if that operation fails.
Closes#1085.

Requires https://github.com/zanieb/pubgrub/pull/20
In short, `UnusableDependencies` can be generalized into `Unavailable`
which encompasses incompatibilities where a package range which is
unusable for some inherent reason as well as when its dependencies are
unusable. We can eventually use this to track more incompatibilities in
the solver. I made the reason string required because I can't see a case
where we should leave it out.
Additionally, this improves the display of conflicts in the root
requirements.
This PR replaces a few uses of hash maps/sets with btree maps/sets and
index maps/sets. This has the benefit of guaranteeing a deterministic
order of iteration.
I made these changes as part of looking into a flaky test.
Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic that anything here will actually fix
the flaky test, since I don't believe anything was actually dependent
on the order of iteration.
## Summary
This is a refactor of the source distribution cache that again aims to
make the cache purely additive. Instead of deleting all built wheels
when the cache gets invalidated (e.g., because the source distribution
changed on PyPI or something), we now treat each invalidation as its own
cache directory. The manifest inside of the source distribution
directory now becomes a pointer to the "latest" version of the source
distribution cache.
Here's a visual example:

With this change, we avoid deleting built distributions that might be
relied on elsewhere and maintain our invariant that the cache is purely
additive. The cost is that we now preserve stale wheels, but we should
add a garbage collection mechanism to deal with that.
Missing piece for the release.

## Summary
This PR adds a release workflow powered by `cargo-dist`. It's similar to
the version that's PR'd in Ruff
(https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/9559), with the exception that
it doesn't include the Docker build or the "update dependents" step for
pre-commit.
## Summary
- This was inherited from
d719988323/src/metadata.rs (LL78C2-L91C26)
- ...which introduced this code here:
9cd1d43f7c
- ...with the originating issue here:
https://github.com/PyO3/maturin/issues/612
- ...and the upstream issue here:
https://github.com/staktrace/mailparse/issues/50
It seems like the goal was to support Unicode in certain header fields,
but I don't think this is necessary for us. We only use
`get_first_value` for `Requires-Python`, which has to be ASCII, doesn't
it?
In my testing, it seems like the `charset` hack can also be removed. The
tests I copied over actually work without it, which makes me a bit
skeptical.
The main benefit here is that we get to a remove a _big_ dependency
stack, including Chumsky and Stacker and psm which have limited
cross-platform support.
## Summary
I'm unable to run `puffin-cli` on `main` as the
`tracing-durations-export` is marked as optional, but the crate actually
depends on it to compile. Further, without `tracing-durations-export`,
there are `Option` types that can't resolve to a concrete type.
This PR fixes compilation with and without the feature.
In the past, I moved us to `owo-colors`
(https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/121); then, we moved back,
because we ran into issues with overriding the settings to force-disable
colors. But `anstream` solved those problems, so I'm moving us _back_ to
`owo-colors`, since it's what `anstream` recommends, and it's already
used by many of our dependencies (`miette`, `configparser`).

Adds support for a `PUFFIN_NO_WRAP` environment variable which disables
line wrapping in `miette` output.
We set this variable in the scenario tests to improve the readability of
snapshots.
I contributed the ability to disable line wrapping upstream at
https://github.com/zkat/miette/pull/328
I don't have a good testing strategy here (I'm manually testing against
`devpi` via `packse`), but the HTML index uses (e.g.)
`data-requires-python=">=3.8"`, so we need to decode.
Easier than i expected: We simply never construct the pubgrub error
variants since we have our own main loop. The `unreachable!()`s can be
removed when never is stabilized
This gives a 1.23 speedup on transformers-extras. We could change to
msgpack for the entire cache if we want. I only tried this format and
postcard so far, where postcard was much slower (like 1.6s).
I don't actually want to merge it like this, i wanted to figure out the
ballpark of improvement for switching away from json.

Disadvantage: We can't manually look into the cache anymore to debug
things
- [ ] Check more formats, i currently only tested json, msgpack and
postcard, there should be other formats, too
- [x] Switch over `CachedByTimestamp` serialization (for the interpreter
caching)
- [x] Switch over error handling and make sure puffin is still resilient
to cache failure
Uses https://github.com/pubgrub-rs/pubgrub/pull/156 to consolidate
version ranges in error reports using the actual available versions for
each package.
Alternative to https://github.com/zanieb/pubgrub/pull/8 which implements
this behavior as a method in the `Reporter` — here it's implemented in
our custom report formatter (#521) instead which requires no upstream
changes.
Requires https://github.com/zanieb/pubgrub/pull/11 to only retrieve the
versions for packages that will be used in the report.
This is a work in progress. Some things to do:
- ~We may want to allow lazy retrieval of the version maps from the
formatter~
- [x] We should probably create a separate error type for no solution
instead of mixing them with other resolve errors
- ~We can probably do something smarter than creating vectors to hold
the versions~
- [x] This degrades error messages when a single version is not
available, we'll need to special case that
- [x] It seems safer to coerce the error type in `resolve` instead of
`solve` if feasible
Parse `-e` for editable installs in `requirements.txt`.
Unlike all the other requirements, editable installs don't have the name
of the package specified.
## Summary
Even if this will typically be in the user's application folder (rather
than a local directory), it's still a good practice.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/issues/280.
Previously, when installing a package we would delete the target
directory before copying (or linking) the contents of the package.
However, this means that we do not properly support namespace packages
which can share a target directory. Instead the last package to be
installed would be override existing packages. Since we install packages
in parallel, this could result in a race condition where the target
directory already exists which is not allowed when using `clonefile`.
See example error in #515.
c7e63d2dce
provides a regression test for this — it fails on `main`.
Here, we implement a recursive merge when the target directory already
exists. Both packages will be installed into the same directory. We no
longer delete the target directory, which seems okay since we uninstall
packages before installing now.
When files conflict, we will likely throw an error still. The correct
behavior to implement in this case is unclear, as if we just take "first
write wins" or "last write wins" we could end up with some files from
one package and some from another resulting in two broken packages. A
possible solution here is to lock the target directories while copying.
Replaces the usage of `http-cache-reqwest` for simple index queries with
our custom cached client, removing `http-cache-reqwest` altogether.
The new cache paths are `<cache>/simple-v0/<index>/<package_name>.json`.
I could not test with a non-pypi index since i'm not aware of any other
json indices (jax and torch are both html indices).
In a future step, we can transform the response to be a
`HashMap<Version, {source_dists: Vec<(SourceDistFilename, File)>,
wheels: Vec<(WheeFilename, File)>}` (independent of python version, this
cache is used by all environments together). This should speed up cache
deserialization a bit, since we don't need to try source dist and wheel
anymore and drop incompatible dists, and it should make building the
`VersionMap` simpler. We can speed this up even further by splitting
into a version lists and the info for each version. I'm mentioning this
because deserialization was a major bottleneck in the rust part of the
old python prototype.
