The architecture of uv does not necessarily match that of the python
interpreter (#2326). In cross compiling/testing scenarios the operating
system can also mismatch. To solve this, we move arch and os detection
to python, vendoring the relevant pypa/packaging code, preventing
mismatches between what the python interpreter was compiled for and what
uv was compiled for.
To make the scripts more manageable, they are now a directory in a
tempdir and we run them with `python -m` . I've simplified the
pypa/packaging code since we're still building the tags in rust. A
`Platform` is now instantiated by querying the python interpreter for
its platform. The pypa/packaging files are copied verbatim for easier
updates except a `lru_cache()` python 3.7 backport.
Error handling is done by a `"result": "success|error"` field that allow
passing error details to rust:
```console
$ uv venv --no-cache
× Can't use Python at `/home/konsti/projects/uv/.venv/bin/python3`
╰─▶ Unknown operation system `linux`
```
I've used the [maturin sysconfig
collection](855f6d2cb1/sysconfig)
as reference. I'm unsure how to test these changes across the wide
variety of platforms.
Fixes#2326
## Summary
In #1813, we were failing to install `scikit-image==0.19.3` from source
in Python 3.11. Confusingly, though, the trace showed that the build
command exited with status 0...
The issue is that we get results from the PEP 517 hooks by reading from
`stdout` -- that is, we `print` at the end of the script, and parse the
printed output on the other side.
It turns out that for `scikit-image`, in this case, there was output
_after_ the wheel filename:
```

```
We need the `scikit_image-0.19.3-cp311-cp311-macosx_14_0_arm64.whl`
line, but we were failing to find it due to all the extra output at the
end (presumedly, some kind of `atexit` logging).
This PR modifies the hooks to instead write their results to files that
are passed in by the parent. On the other end, we then read the results
back from disk. This makes it much more robust to "other" output in the
script.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1813.
## Test Plan
Ran `cargo run pip install scikit-image==0.19.3 --reinstall
--no-cache-dir` on Python 3.11.
## Summary
If a user provides a source distribution via a direct path, it can
either be an archive (like a `.tar.gz` or `.zip` file) or a directory.
If the former, we need to extract (e.g., unzip) the contents at some
point. Previously, this extraction was in `uv-build`; this PR lifts it
up to the distribution database.
The first benefit here is that various methods that take the
distribution are now simpler, as they can assume a directory.
The second benefit is that we no longer extract _multiple times_ when
working with a source distribution. (Previously, if we tried to get the
metadata, then fell back and built the wheel, we'd extract the wheel
_twice_.)
## Summary
This PR adds support for pip's `--no-build-isolation`. When enabled,
build requirements won't be installed during PEP 517-style builds, but
the source environment _will_ be used when executing the build steps
themselves.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1715.
`uv pip install mysqlclient==2.1.1` on python 3.12 on windows, where the
are no binary wheels:

Part of #2052.
## Summary
Adds support for `--system-site-packages`. Unlike `pip`, we won't take
the system site packages into account in subsequent commands. I think
this is ok.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1483.

## Summary
With this PR I've added the option environment variables to the wheel
building process, through the `BuildDispatch`. When integrating uv with
our project pixi (https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi/pull/863). We ran
into this missing requirement, I've made a rough version here, could
maybe use some refinement.
### Why do we need this?
Because pixi allow the user to use a conda activated prefix for wheel
building, this comes with a number of environment variables, like `PATH`
but also `CONDA_PREFIX` amongst others. This allows the user to use
system dependencies from conda-forge to use during an sdist build.
Because we use `uv` as a library we need to pass in the options
programatically. Additionally, in general there is nothing holding a
python sdist back from actually depending on an environment variable,
see
e.g the test package: https://pypi.org/project/env-test-package/
### What about `ConfigSettings`
I think `ConfigSettings` does not suffice because e.g. CMake could
function differently when the `CONDA_PREFIX` is set. Also, we do not
know if the user supplied backend actually support these settings.
### Path handling
Because the user can now also supply a PATH in the environment map, the
logic I had was the following, I format the path so that it has the
following precedence
1. venv scripts dir.
2. user supplied path.
3. system path.
### Improvements
There is some path modification and copying happening everytime we use
the `run_python_script` function, I think we could improve this but
would like some pointers where to best put the maybe split and cached
version, we might also want to use some types to split these things up.
### Finally
I did not add any of these options to the uv executables, I first would
like to know if this is a direction we would want to go in. I'm happy to
do this or make any changes that you feel would benefit this project.
Also tagging @wolfv to keep track of this as well.

## Summary
`PythonPlatform` only exists to format paths to directories within
virtual environments based on a root and an OS, so it's now
`VirtualenvLayout`.
`Virtualenv` is now used for non-virtual environment Pythons, so it's
now `PythonEnvironment`.
## Summary
This PR adds a `--python` flag that allows users to provide a specific
Python interpreter into which `uv` should install packages. This would
replace the `VIRTUAL_ENV=` workaround that folks have been using to
install into arbitrary, system environments, while _also_ actually being
correct for installing into non-virtual environments, where the bin and
site-packages paths can differ.
The approach taken here is to use `sysconfig.get_paths()` to get the
correct paths from the interpreter, and then use those for determining
the `bin` and `site-packages` directories, rather than constructing them
based on hard-coded expectations for each platform.

## Test Plan
- Verified that, on my Windows machine, I was able to install `requests`
into a global environment with: `cargo run pip install requests --python
'C:\\Users\\crmarsh\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3.12\\python.exe`,
then `python` and `import requests`.
- Verified that, on macOS, I was able to install `requests` into a
global environment installed via Homebrew with: `cargo run pip install
requests --python $(which python3.8)`.
## Summary
When you invoke `python -c`, an empty string is prepended to `sys.path`,
which allows loading modules in the current directory
(https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-P). However, in
PEP 517 builds, the current directory should _not_ be part of the path.
There's a flag we can use to disable this behavior (`-P`), but it's only
available in Python 3.11 and later, so instead, I'm doing something
similar to pip's `__main__.py`, which avoids this for `python -m pip`
invocations.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1972.
Address a few pedantic lints
lints are separated into separate commits so they can be reviewed
individually.
I've not added enforcement for any of these lints, but that could be
added if desirable.

## Summary
This modifies `gourgeist` to allow passing additional k,v pairs to add
to the `pyvenv.cfg` file as proposed in #1697.
I made it allow an arbitrary set of pairs (to decouple from `uv` since
this is mainly a change to `gourgeist`) , but I can slim it down to just
allow just a name and version strings if that's desired.
The `pyvenv.cfg` will also have a `uv = <uv-crate-version>` when a venv
is created via `uv venv` ~~and `uv-build = <uv-build-crate-version>`
when it's created via `SourceBuild::setup`~~.
Example below via `uv venv`:
```ini
home = ...
implementation = CPython
version_info = 3.12
include-system-site-packages = false
base-prefix = ...
base-exec-prefix = ...
base-executable = ...
uv = 0.1.6
prompt = uv
```
Open to any suggestions, thanks!
Closes#1697
## Test Plan
Added new test in `tests/venv.rs` called `verify_pyvenv_cfg` to verify
that it contains the right uv version string. I didn't see tests
configured in `gourgeist` itself, so I didn't add any there.
## Summary
We currently maintain separate untar methods for sync and async, but we
only use the sync version when the user provides a local source
distribution. (Otherwise, we untar as we download the distribution.) In
my testing, this is actually slower anyway:
```
❯ python -m scripts.bench \
--uv-path ./target/release/main \
--uv-path ./target/release/uv \
./requirements.in --benchmark resolve-cold --min-runs 50
Benchmark 1: ./target/release/main (resolve-cold)
Time (mean ± σ): 835.2 ms ± 107.4 ms [User: 346.0 ms, System: 151.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 639.2 ms … 1051.0 ms 50 runs
Benchmark 2: ./target/release/uv (resolve-cold)
Time (mean ± σ): 750.7 ms ± 91.9 ms [User: 345.7 ms, System: 149.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 637.9 ms … 905.7 ms 50 runs
Summary
'./target/release/uv (resolve-cold)' ran
1.11 ± 0.20 times faster than './target/release/main (resolve-cold)'
```
## Summary
This PR adds the `--prompt` option to `venv` subcommand.
The default behavior for `uv venv` is to create a virtual environment in
the current directory with `.venv` name. This is different from `venv` /
`virtualenv` where a user always needs to provide the virtual
environment path. This allows us to define our own behavior in the
default scenario (`uv venv`). We've decided to use the current
directory's name in that case.
Workflows:
| Command | Virtual Environment Name | Prompt |
|--------|--------|--------|
| `uv venv` | `.venv` (default) | Current directory name |
| `uv venv project` | `project` | `project` |
| `uv venv --prompt .` | `.venv` | Current directory name |
| `uv venv --prompt foobar` | `.venv` | `foobar` |
| `uv venv project --prompt foobar` | `project` | `foobar` |
Fixes#1445
## Test Plan
This is my first Rust code and I don't know how to write tests yet.
I just checked the behavior manually:
```
$ cargo build
$ mkdir t
$ cd t
$ ../target/debug/uv venv -p 3.11
$ rg -w t .venv/bin/acti*
.venv/bin/activate.csh
13:setenv VIRTUAL_ENV '/Users/inada-n/work/uv/t/.venv'
20:if ('t' != "") then
21: setenv VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT 't'
23: setenv VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT "$VIRTUAL_ENV:t:q"
38: # in which case, $prompt is undefined and we wouldn't
.venv/bin/activate
48:VIRTUAL_ENV='/Users/inada-n/work/uv/t/.venv'
59: VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT="t"
.venv/bin/activate.fish
61:set -gx VIRTUAL_ENV '/Users/inada-n/work/uv/t/.venv'
73:if test -n 't'
74: set -gx VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT 't'
.venv/bin/activate.ps1
40:if ("t" -ne "") {
41: $env:VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT = "t"
.venv/bin/activate.nu
6:# but then simply `deactivate` won't work because it is just an alias to hide
35: let virtual_env = '/Users/inada-n/work/uv/t/.venv'
50: let virtual_env_prompt = (if ('t' | is-empty) {
53: 't'
```

## Summary#1562
It turns out that `hexdump` uses an invalid source distribution format
whereby the contents aren't nested in a top-level directory -- instead,
they're all just flattened at the top-level. In looking at pip's source
(51de88ca64/src/pip/_internal/utils/unpacking.py (L62)),
it only strips the top-level directory if all entries have the same
directory prefix (i.e., if it's the only thing in the directory). This
PR accommodates these "invalid" distributions.
I can't find any history on this method in `pip`. It looks like it dates
back over 15 years ago, to before `pip` was even called `pip`.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1376.
First, replace all usages in files in-place. I used my editor for this.
If someone wants to add a one-liner that'd be fun.
Then, update directory and file names:
```
# Run twice for nested directories
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
# Update files
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
```
Then add all the files again
```
# Add all the files again
git add crates
git add python/uv
# This one needs a force-add
git add -f crates/uv-trampoline
```
