Bug#962574: ITP: dephell -- project management for Python

2020-06-09 Thread Nicholas D Steeves
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Nicholas D Steeves 

Package name: dephell
Version : 0.8.3
Upstream Author : Gram 
URL : http://www.example.org/
License : MIT (declared, but probably Expat)
Programming Lang: Python
Description : project management for Python

 DepHell Project management for Python
   * Format agnostic: supports setup.py, requirements.txt, Pipfile, poetry.
 DepHell converts between them at any time.
   * All-in-one-solution: manage dependencies, virtual environments, tests,
 CLI tools, packages; generate configs; show licenses for dependencies;
 assist with security audits; get download statistics from PyPI; search
 packages, and much more.
   * Smart dependency resolution: manages dependencies, resolves, and enables
 locking of dependencies that pip missed.
   * Asyncio based: optimised network and filesystem requests.
   * Multiple environments: facilitates the use of multiple environments per
 project.
   * Release tools: provides build, test, version upgrade, and upload helpers.

When I imported the latest version of Fissix, I discovered that it had
migrated to pyproject.toml.  I asked #debian-python about what the
status of Debian tooling is for this format, and had a good discussion
with ScottK.  My immediate motivation for packaging DepHell is to
convert Fissix's pyproject.toml to setup.py to expedite the completion
of its ITP.  I also wonder if it might be useful within a dh_python
context.

It's highly likely this software will be useful to the general Python
developer community, and I plan to maintain it in either the DPMT or
PAPT, as appropriate.  Please comment on this!

If anyone on the DPMT or PAPT would like to comaintain this package,
please let me know, and I'll add you to Uploaders without delay.

I will require a sponsor for the initial upload.

Regards,
Nicholas

The cwd of each test is guaranteed to be the root of the source
package, which will have been unpacked but not built. However note
that the tests must test the installed version of the package,
as opposed to programs or any other file from the built tree.

I've found that a lot of the time, what makes most sense is to gather
the information you need from the source tree, copy the files you
need from the source tree into a temporary directory, cd into the
temporary directory, and do the rest of your testing there. This avoids
things like Python's default "add the script's directory to sys.path"
behaviour accidentally picking up the version of the library that's in
the source package, which would result in not testing the installed copy
as required. For example, src:python-mpd does this.

Another way to get a similar result is to install the tests as part of the
binary packages, cd into an empty temporary directory, and run them from the
installed location. src:tap.py does this (the tests are small, so they're
just included in the main binary package) and so does src:dbus-python (the
tests are larger and have non-trivial dependencies, so they're a separate
binary package).

autopkgtest guarantees that $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP is an empty temporary
directory, or you can make your own with mktemp -d or similar, or you
can use a tool like ginsttest-runner (aka gnome-desktop-testing-runner,
in the gnome-desktop-testing package) that does it for you.

Oh, so in fact, the only package which should do that in its d/rules
should be setuptools-scm itself, then ?

There are several things I don't understand there:

(1) during the autopkgtest run, we're not in the package source tree,
are we? So there should be no access do d/changelog?

(2) including pkg-info.mk is for makefiles, so not available there, and
dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion will give me the full Debian version, not
just upstream's.

Thanks,

JP

dh-python do this automatically when python{,3}-setuptools-scm is in B-D.

you can use "dpkg-parsechangelog -SVersion" or include /usr/share/dpkg/
pkg-info.mk + $DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM here too.
