![]() This adds a basic sdist builder that has been tested with two source distributions, one with a PEP 517 backend and one with setup.py. It uses pip for requirements installation atm, lacks testing in all directions, lacks checks for recursive requirements, can't pass in already resolved versions, doesn't support prepare metadata for build to allow resolution to continue without doing the actual (native) build, error messages are mediocre, etc. ```console $ RUST_LOG=puffin_build=debug puffin-build --wheels wheels downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz 2023-10-16T12:28:35.503182Z DEBUG build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}: puffin_build: Building downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz 2023-10-16T12:28:35.521780Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}:extract_archive: puffin_build: close time.busy=18.4ms time.idle=16.7µs 2023-10-16T12:28:35.845096Z DEBUG build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}:resolve_and_install: puffin_build: Calling pip to install build dependencies 2023-10-16T12:28:37.668660Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}:resolve_and_install: puffin_build: close time.busy=1.82s time.idle=13.2µs 2023-10-16T12:28:37.668744Z DEBUG build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}: puffin_build: Calling `setuptools.build_meta.get_requires_for_build_wheel()` 2023-10-16T12:28:38.159205Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}:run_python_script{python_interpreter="/tmp/.tmpm4cTra/venv/bin/python"}: puffin_build: close time.busy=490ms time.idle=13.0µs 2023-10-16T12:28:38.159304Z DEBUG build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}: puffin_build: Calling `setuptools.build_meta.build_wheel()` 2023-10-16T12:28:38.501732Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}:run_python_script{python_interpreter="/tmp/.tmpm4cTra/venv/bin/python"}: puffin_build: close time.busy=342ms time.idle=15.2µs 2023-10-16T12:28:38.522700Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/tqdm-4.66.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}: puffin_build: close time.busy=3.02s time.idle=16.2µs Wheel built to /home/konsti/projects/puffin/crates/puffin-build/wheels/tqdm-4.66.1-py3-none-any.whl 2023-10-16T12:28:38.522772Z DEBUG puffin_build: Took 3020ms $ puffin-build --wheels wheels downloads/geoextract-0.3.1.tar.gz 2023-10-16T12:28:40.884622Z DEBUG build_sdist{path="downloads/geoextract-0.3.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}: puffin_build: Building downloads/geoextract-0.3.1.tar.gz 2023-10-16T12:28:40.887743Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/geoextract-0.3.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}:extract_archive: puffin_build: close time.busy=2.97ms time.idle=12.6µs 2023-10-16T12:28:41.469738Z INFO build_sdist{path="downloads/geoextract-0.3.1.tar.gz" base_python="/usr/bin/python3"}: puffin_build: close time.busy=585ms time.idle=15.3µs Wheel built to /home/konsti/projects/puffin/crates/puffin-build/wheels/geoextract-0.3.1-py3-none-any.whl 2023-10-16T12:28:41.469814Z DEBUG puffin_build: Took 585ms ``` |

puffin
An experimental Python packaging tool.
Motivation
Puffin is an extremely fast (experimental) Python package resolver and installer, intended to
replace pip
and pip-tools
(pip-compile
and pip-sync
).
Puffin itself is not a complete "package manager", but rather a tool for locking dependencies
(similar to pip-compile
) and installing them (similar to pip-sync
). Puffin can be used to
generate a set of locked dependencies from a requirements.txt
file, and then install those
locked dependencies into a virtual environment.
Puffin represents an intermediary goal in our pursuit of building a "Cargo for Python": a Python
package manager that is extremely fast, reliable, and easy to use -- capable of replacing not only
pip
, but also pipx
, pip-tools
, virtualenv
, tox
, setuptools
, and even pyenv
, by way of
managing the Python installation itself.
Puffin's limited scope allows us to solve many of the low-level problems that are required to
build such a package manager (like package installation) while shipping an immediately useful tool
with a minimal barrier to adoption. Try it today in lieu of pip
and pip-tools
.
Features
- Extremely fast dependency resolution and installation: install dependencies in sub-second time.
- Disk-space efficient: Puffin uses a global cache to deduplicate dependencies, and uses Copy-on-Write on supported filesystems to reduce disk usage.
Limitations
Puffin does not yet support:
- Source distributions
- VCS dependencies
- URL dependencies
- Uninstalling packages
- Windows
- ...
Like pip-compile
, Puffin generates a platform-specific requirements.txt
file (unlike, e.g.,
poetry
, which generates a platform-agnostic poetry.lock
file). As such, Puffin's
requirements.txt
files are not portable across platforms and Python versions.
Usage
To resolve a requirements.in
file:
cargo run -p puffin-cli -- compile requirements.in
To install from a resolved requirements.txt
file:
cargo run -p puffin-cli -- sync requirements.txt
For more, see cargo run -p puffin-cli -- --help
:
Usage: puffin-cli <COMMAND>
Commands:
compile Compile a `requirements.in` file to a `requirements.txt` file
sync Sync dependencies from a `requirements.txt` file
clean Clear the cache
freeze Enumerate the installed packages in the current environment
help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
Options:
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
