This is a human-friendly changelog in a keepachangelog.com style format. Because this changelog is for end-user consumption of meaningful changes,only a summary of a release‘s changes is described. This means every commit is not necessarily mentioned, and internal refactors or code cleanups are omitted unless they’re particularly notable.
A brief description of the categories of changes:
Changed
: Some behavior changed. If the change is expected to break a public API or supported behavior, it will be marked as BREAKING. Note that beta APIs will not have breaking API changes called out.Fixed
: A bug, or otherwise incorrect behavior, was fixed.Added
: A new feature, API, or behavior was added in a backwards compatible manner.(bzlmod)
or (docs)
.Make //python/pip_install:pip_repository_bzl
bzl_library
target internal as all of the publicly available symbols (etc. package_annotation
) are re-exported via //python:pip_bzl
bzl_library
.
(gazelle) Gazelle Python extension no longer has runtime dependencies. Using GAZELLE_PYTHON_RUNTIME_DEPS
from @rules_python_gazelle_plugin//:def.bzl
is no longer necessary.
(pip_parse) The installation of pip_parse
repository rule toolchain dependencies is now done as part of py_repositories
call.
(pip_parse) The generated requirements.bzl
file now has an additional symbol all_whl_requirements_by_package
which provides a map from the original package name (as it appears in requirements.txt) to the target that provides the built wheel file.
(pip_parse) The flag incompatible_generate_aliases
has been flipped to True
by default on non-bzlmod
setups allowing users to use the same label strings during the transition period. For example, instead of @pypi_foo//:pkg
, you can now use @pypi//foo
or @pypi//foo:pkg
. Other labels that are present in the foo
package are dist_info
, whl
and data
. Note, that the @pypi_foo//:pkg
labels are still present for backwards compatibility.
(gazelle) The flag use_pip_repository_aliases
is now set to True
by default, which will cause gazelle
to change third-party dependency labels from @pip_foo//:pkg
to @pip//foo
by default.
Breaking changes:
(pip) pip_install
repository rule in this release has been disabled and will fail by default. The API symbol is going to be removed in the next version, please migrate to pip_parse
as a replacement. The pip_parse
rule no longer supports requirements
attribute, please use requirements_lock
instead.
(py_wheel) switch incompatible_normalize_name
and incompatible_normalize_version
to True
by default to enforce PEP440
for wheel names built by rules_python
.
Skip aliases for unloaded toolchains. Some Python versions that don't have full platform support, and referencing their undefined repositories can break operations like bazel query rdeps(...)
.
Python code generated from proto_library
with strip_import_prefix
can be imported now.
(py_wheel) Produce deterministic wheel files and make RECORD
file entries follow the order of files written to the .whl
archive.
.whl
patching support via patches
and patch_strip
arguments to the new pip.override
tag class.Python version patch level bumps:
(deps) Upgrade rules_go 0.39.1 -> 0.41.0; this is so gazelle integration works with upcoming Bazel versions
(multi-version) The distribs
attribute is no longer propagated. This attribute has been long deprecated by Bazel and shouldn't be used.
Calling //python:repositories.bzl#py_repositories()
is required. It has always been documented as necessary, but it was possible to omit it in certain cases. An error about @rules_python_internal
means the py_repositories()
call is missing in WORKSPACE
.
(bzlmod) The pip.parse
extension will generate os/arch specific lock file entries on bazel>=6.4
.
(bzlmod, entry_point) Added py_console_script_binary
, which allows adding custom dependencies to a package's entry points and customizing the py_binary
rule used to build it.
New Python versions available: 3.8.17
, 3.11.5
using https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20230826.
(gazelle) New # gazelle:python_generation_mode file
directive to support generating one py_library
per file.
(python_repository) Support netrc
and auth_patterns
attributes to enable authentication against private HTTP hosts serving Python toolchain binaries.
//python:packaging_bzl
added, a bzl_library
for the Starlark files //python:packaging.bzl
requires.
(py_wheel) Added the incompatible_normalize_name
feature flag to normalize the package distribution name according to latest Python packaging standards. Defaults to False
for the time being.
(py_wheel) Added the incompatible_normalize_version
feature flag to normalize the package version according to PEP440 standard. This also adds support for local version specifiers (versions with a +
in them), in accordance with PEP440. Defaults to False
for the time being.
New Python versions available: 3.8.18
, 3.9.18
, 3.10.13
, 3.11.6
, 3.12.0
using https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20231002. 3.12.0
support is considered beta and may have issues.
(bzlmod) The entry_point
macro is no longer supported and has been removed in favour of the py_console_script_binary
macro for bzlmod
users.
(bzlmod) The pip.parse
no longer generates {hub_name}_{py_version}
hub repos as the entry_point
macro has been superseded by py_console_script_binary
.
(bzlmod) The pip.parse
no longer generates {hub_name}_{distribution}
hub repos.
(whl_library) No longer restarts repository rule when fetching external dependencies improving initial build times involving external dependency fetching.
(gazelle) Improve runfiles lookup hermeticity.
pip.parse
can no longer automatically use the default Python version; this was an unreliable and unsafe behavior. The python_version
arg must always be explicitly specified.main
arg is now correctly computed and usually optional.pip.parse
no longer requires a call for whatever the configured default Python version is.@python_aliases
renamed to `@python_versionspip.parse
arg name
renamed to hub_name
pip.parse
arg incompatible_generate_aliases
removed and always true.pip.parse
can be called multiple times with different Python versionspip.parse
