Rejection Notice
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This PEP has been rejected in favour of :pep:`631` due to its popularity,
|
|
consistency with the existing usage of :pep:`508` strings, and compatibility
|
|
with existing packaging tool suites.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This PEP specifies how to write a project's dependencies in a
|
|
``pyproject.toml`` file for packaging-related tools to consume using the fields
|
|
defined in :pep:`621`, as an alternative to the :pep:`508`-based approach
|
|
defined in :pep:`631`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Motivation
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
There are multiple benefits to using TOML tables and other data-types to
|
|
represent requirements rather than :pep:`508` strings:
|
|
|
|
- Easy initial validation via the TOML syntax.
|
|
|
|
- Easy secondary validation using a schema, for example a `JSON Schema`_.
|
|
|
|
- Potential for users to guess the keys of given features, rather than
|
|
memorising a syntax.
|
|
|
|
- Users of multiple other popular languages may already be familiar with the
|
|
TOML syntax.
|
|
|
|
- TOML directly represents the same data structures as in JSON, and therefore a
|
|
sub-set of Python literals, so users can understand the hierarchy and type of
|
|
value
|
|
|
|
.. _JSON Schema: https://json-schema.org/
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rationale
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Most of this is taken from discussions in the `PEP 621 dependencies topic`_.
|
|
This has elements from `Pipfile`_, `Poetry`_, `Dart's dependencies`_ and
|
|
`Rust's Cargo`_. A `comparison document`_ shows advantages and disadvantages
|
|
between this format and :pep:`508`-style specifiers.
|
|
|
|
In the specification of multiple requirements with the same distribution name
|
|
(where environment markers choose the appropriate dependency), the chosen
|
|
solution is similar to `Poetry`_'s, where an array of requirements is allowed.
|
|
|
|
The direct-reference keys closely align with and utilise :pep:`610` and
|
|
:pep:`440` as to reduce differences in the packaging ecosystem and rely on
|
|
previous work in specification.

Specification
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
As in :pep:`621`, if metadata is improperly specified then tools MUST raise an
|
|
error. The metadata MUST conform to the `TOML`_ specification.
|
|
|
|
To reduce confusion with this document being a specification for specifying
|
|
dependencies, the word "requirement" is used to mean a :pep:`508` dependency
|
|
specification.
|
|
|
|
The following tables are added to the ``project`` table specified in
|
|
:pep:`621`.
|
|
|
|
.. _TOML: https://toml.io/
|
|
|
|
``dependencies``
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Format: table
|
|
|
|
The keys inside this table are the names of the required distribution. The
|
|
values can have one of the following types:
|
|
|
|
- string: the requirement is defined only by a version requirement, with same
|
|
specification as ``version`` in the requirement table, except allowing the
|
|
empty string ``""`` to place no restriction on the version.
|
|
|
|
- table: a requirement table.
|
|
|
|
- array: an array of requirement tables. It is an error to specify an empty
|
|
array ``[]`` as a value.
|
|
|
|
Requirement table
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The keys of the requirement table are as follows (all are optional):
|
|
|
|
- ``version`` (string): a :pep:`440` version specifier, which is a
|
|
comma-delimited list of version specifier clauses. The string MUST be
|
|
non-empty.
|
|
|
|
- ``extras`` (array of strings): a list of :pep:`508` extras declarations for
|
|
the distribution. The list MUST be non-empty.
|
|
|
|
- ``markers`` (string): a :pep:`508` environment marker expression. The string
|
|
MUST be non-empty.
|
|
|
|
- ``url`` (string): the URL of the artifact to install and satisfy the
|
|
requirement. Note that ``file://`` is the prefix used for packages to be
|
|
retrieved from the local filesystem.
|
|
|
|
- ``git``, ``hg``, ``bzr`` or ``svn`` (string): the URL of a VCS repository
|
|
(as specified in :pep:`440`)
|
|
to clone, whose tree will be installed to satisfy the requirement. Further
|
|
VCS keys will be added via amendments to :pep:`610`, however tools MAY opt to
|
|
support other VCS's using their command-line command prior to the acceptance
|
|
of the amendment.
|
|
|
|
- ``revision`` (string): the identifier for a specific revision of the
|
|
specified VCS repository to check-out before installation. Users MUST only
|
|
provide this when one of ``git``, ``hg``, ``bzr``, ``svn``, or another VCS
|
|
key is used to identify the distribution to install. Revision identifiers are
|
|
suggested in :pep:`610`.
|
|
|
|
At most one of the following keys can be specified simultaneously, as they
|
|
logically conflict with each other in the requirement: ``version``, ``url``,
|
|
``git``, ``hg``, ``bzr``, ``svn``, and any other VCS key.
|
|
|
|
An empty requirement table ``{}`` places no restriction on the requirement, in
|
|
addition to the empty string ``""``.
|
|
|
|
Any keys provided which are not specified in this document MUST cause an error
|
|
in parsing.
|
|
|
|
``optional-dependencies``
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Format: table
|
|
|
|
The keys inside this table are the names of an extra's required distribution.
|
|
The values can have one of the following types:
|
|
|
|
- table: a requirement table.
|
|
|
|
- array: an array of requirement tables.
|
|
|
|
These requirement tables have
|
|
`the same specification as above <requirement table_>`_, with the addition of
|
|
the following required key:
|
|
|
|
- ``for-extra`` (string): the name of the :pep:`508` extra that this
|
|
requirement is required for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reference implementation
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Tools will need to convert this format to :pep:`508` requirement strings. Below
|
|
is an example implementation of that conversion (assuming validation is already
|
|
performed):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
def convert_requirement_to_pep508(name, requirement):
|
|
if isinstance(requirement, str):
|
|
requirement = {"version": requirement}
|
|
pep508 = name
|
|
if "extras" in requirement:
|
|
pep508 += " [" + ", ".join(requirement["extras"]) + "]"
|
|
if "version" in requirement:
|
|
pep508 += " " + requirement["version"]
|
|
if "url" in requirement:
|
|
pep508 += " @ " + requirement["url"]
|
|
for vcs in ("git", "hg", "bzr", "svn"):
|
|
if vcs in requirement:
|
|
pep508 += " @ " + vcs + "+" + requirement[vcs]
|
|
if "revision" in requirement:
|
|
pep508 += "@" + requirement["revision"]
|
|
extra = None
|
|
if "for-extra" in requirement:
|
|
extra = requirement["for-extra"]
|
|
if "markers" in requirement:
|
|
markers = requirement["markers"]
|
|
if extra:
|
|
markers = "extra = '" + extra + "' and (" + markers + ")"
|
|
pep508 += "; " + markers
|
|
return pep508, extra
|
|
|
|
|
|
def convert_requirements_to_pep508(dependencies):
|
|
pep508s = []
|
|
extras = set()
|
|
for name, req in dependencies.items():
|
|
if isinstance(req, list):
|
|
for sub_req in req:
|
|
pep508, extra = convert_requirement_to_pep508(name, sub_req)
|
|
pep508s.append(pep508)
|
|
if extra:
|
|
extras.add(extra)
|
|
else:
|
|
pep508, extra = convert_requirement_to_pep508(name, req)
|
|
pep508s.append(pep508)
|
|
if extra:
|
|
extras.add(extra)
|
|
return pep508s, extras
|
|
|
|
|
|
def convert_project_requirements_to_pep508(project):
|
|
reqs, _ = convert_requirements_to_pep508(project.get("dependencies", {}))
|
|
optional_reqs, extras = convert_requirements_to_pep508(
|
|
project.get("optional-dependencies", {})
|
|
)
|
|
reqs += optional_reqs
|
|
return reqs, extras
|
|
|
|
JSON schema
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
For initial validation, a JSON-schema can be used. Not only does this help
|
|
tools have a consistent validation, but it allows code editors to highlight
|
|
validation errors as users are building the dependencies list.

Compatibility Examples
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
The authors of this PEP recognise that various tools need to both read
|
|
from and write to this format for dependency specification. This section
|
|
aims to provide direct comparison with and examples for translating to/from
|
|
the currently used standard, :pep:`508`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
For simplicity and clarity, various ways in which TOML allows you to specify each
|
|
specification is not represented. These examples use the standard inline representation.
|
|
|
|
For example, while following are considered equivalent in TOML, we choose the
|
|
second form for the examples in this section.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp.version = "== 3.6.2"
|
|
aiohttp = { version = "== 3.6.2" }
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version Constrained Dependencies
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
**No Version Constraint**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = {}
|
|
|
|
**Simple Version Constraint**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp >= 3.6.2, < 4.0.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = { version = ">= 3.6.2, < 4.0.0" }
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|

Environment Markers
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp >= 3.6.1; python_version >= '3.8'
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
aiohttp = { version = ">= 3.6.1", markers = "python_version >= '3.8'" }
|
|
|
|
|
|
A slightly extended example of the above, where a particular version of ``aiohttp`` is required based on the interpreter version.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp >= 3.6.1; python_version >= '3.8'
|
|
aiohttp >= 3.0.0, < 3.6.1; python_version < '3.8'
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = [
|
|
{ version = ">= 3.6.1", markers = "python_version >= '3.8'" },
|
|
{ version = ">= 3.0.0, < 3.6.1", markers = "python_version < '3.8'" }

Package Extras
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
**Specifying dependency for a package extra**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp >= 3.6.2; extra == 'http'
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = { version = ">= 3.6.2", for-extra = "http" }
|
|
|
|
**Using extras from a dependency**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp [speedups] >= 3.6.2
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = { version = ">= 3.6.2", extras = ["speedups"] }
|
|
|
|
|
|
Complex Examples
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
**Version Constraint**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp [speedups] >= 3.6.2; python_version >= '3.8' and extra == 'http'
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = { version = ">= 3.6.2", extras = ["speedups"], markers = "python_version >= '3.8'", for-extra = "http" }
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Direct Reference (VCS)**
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp [speedups] @ git+ssh://git@github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp.git@master ; python_version >= '3.8' and extra == 'http'
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block::
|
|
|
|
aiohttp = { git = "ssh://git@github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp.git", revision = "master", extras = ["speedups"], markers = "python_version >= '3.8'", for-extra = "http" }

Rejected Ideas
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Switch to an array for ``dependencies``
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Use an array instead of a table in order to have each element only be a table
|
|
(with a ``name`` key) and no arrays of requirement tables. This was very
|
|
verbose and restrictive in the TOML format, and having multiple requirements
|
|
for a given distribution isn't very common.
|
|
|
|
Replace ``optional-dependencies`` with ``extras``
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Remove the ``optional-dependencies`` table in favour of both including an
|
|
``optional`` key in the requirement and an ``extras`` table which specifies
|
|
which (optional) requirements are needed for a project's extra. This reduces
|
|
the number of table with the same specification (to 1) and allows for
|
|
requirements to be specified once but used in multiple extras, but distances
|
|
some of the requirement's properties (which extra(s) it belongs to), groups
|
|
required and optional dependencies together (possibly mixed), and there may not
|
|
be a simple way to choose a requirement when a distribution has multiple
|
|
requirements. This was rejected as ``optional-dependencies`` has already been
|
|
used in the :pep:`621` draft.
|
|
|
|
``direct`` table in requirement
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Include the direct-reference keys in a ``direct`` table, have the VCS specified
|
|
as the value of a ``vcs`` key. This was more explicit and easier to include in
|
|
a JSON-schema validation, but was decided to be too verbose and not as
|
|
readable.
|
|
|
|
Include hash
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Include hash in direct-reference requirements. This was only for package
|
|
lock-files, and didn't really have a place in the project's metadata.
|
|
|
|
Dependency tables for each extra
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Have the ``optional-dependencies`` be a table of dependency tables for each
|
|
extra, with the table name being the extra's name. This made
|
|
``optional-dependencies`` a different type (table of tables of requirements)
|
|
from ``dependencies`` (table of requirements), which could be jarring for users
|
|
and harder to parse.
|
|
|
|
Environment marker keys
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
Make each :pep:`508` environment marker as a key (or child-table key) in
|
|
the requirement. This arguably increases readability and ease of parsing.
|
|
The ``markers`` key would still be allowed for more advanced specification,
|
|
with which the key-specified environment markers are ``and``'d with the
|
|
result of. This was deferred as more design needs to be undertaken.
|
|
|
|
Multiple extras which one requirement can satisfy
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Replace the ``for-extra`` key with ``for-extras``, with the value being an
|
|
array of extras which the requirement satisfies. This reduces some
|
|
duplication, but in this case that duplication makes explicit which extras
|
|
have which dependencies.
