In https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/1040 we broke the pip
compile scenarios designed to test failure when a required Python
version is not available — resolution succeeded because all of the
Python versions were available in CI. Following #1105 we have the
ability to isolate tests from Python versions available in the system.
Here, we limit the scenarios to only the Python version in the current
environment, restoring our ability to test the error messages.
With https://github.com/zanieb/packse/pull/95, we will be able to
specify scenarios with access to additional system Python versions. This
will allow us to include test coverage where resolution can succeed by
using a version available elsewhere on the system. See #1111 for this
follow-up.
Replaces https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/1068 and #1070 which
were more complicated than I wanted.
- Introduces a `.python-versions` file which defines the Python versions
needed for development
- Adds a Bash script at `scripts/bootstrap/install` which installs the
required Python versions from `python-build-standalone` to `./bin`
- Checks in a `versions.json` file with metadata about available
versions on each platform and a `fetch-version` Python script derived
from `rye` for updating the versions
- Updates CI to use these Python builds instead of the `setup-python`
action
- Updates to the latest packse scenarios which require Python 3.8+
instead of 3.7+ since we cannot use 3.7 anymore and includes new test
coverage of patch Python version requests
- Adds a `PUFFIN_PYTHON_PATH` variable to prevent lookup of system
Python versions for isolation during development
Tested on Linux (via CI) and macOS (locally) — presumably it will be a
bit more complicated to do proper Windows support.
Extends #1029
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/issues/1038
Instead of always using the current Python version for builds when a
target version is provided, we will do our best to use a compatible
Python version for builds.
Removes behavior where Python versions without patch versions were
always assumed to be the latest known patch version (previously
discussed in https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/pull/534). While this
was convenient for resolutions which include packages which require
minimum patch versions e.g. `requires-python=">=3.7.4"`, it conflicts
with the idea that the target Python version you provide is the
_minimum_ compatible version. Additionally, it complicates interpreter
lookup as we cannot tell if the user has asked for that specific patch
version or not.
In windows, `python3.9` and `python3.11` are not in `PATH`. Instead, we
should pass only the python version to `puffin venv -p` in packse
scenarios (#1039).
e.g. for scenarios that test resolution _without_ installation.
This refactors the `update` script to generate scenario test files for
`pip compile` _and_ `pip install`. We don't overlap scenarios to save
time. We only generate `pip compile` test cases for scenarios we cannot
represent with `pip install` e.g. a `--python-version` override.
The _one_ scenario I added happened to reveal a bug in our resolver
where we were incorrectly filtering versions by the installed version
when wheels were available. Per the comment at
https://github.com/astral-sh/puffin/issues/883#issuecomment-1890773112,
we should _only_ need to check for a compatible installed Python version
when using a different _target_ Python version if we need to build a
source distribution.

resolves this by removing the excessive constraints — the correct Python
version incompatibilities are applied elsewhere.
