 The code: 
 http://hg.mozilla.org/services/server-storage/file/78762deede5d/syncstorage/storage/sqlmappers.py#l55

I didn't expect that anyone was passing arguments to types like Integer, the 
value you pass there is meaningless as the default Integer doesn't have any 
kind of length. 

I will restore the catchall constructor to the base type class with a 
deprecation warning.

Well, I wish I could just say  0.7 but I guess that would suck in 0.7

That said, this is spot on. Honestly, it's up to the consuming 
package/project to limit what versions it'll accept. So Michael releases 
0.7 final, your app might still not have been upgraded to work with it, 
is it now Michael's fault your build is broken or people complain that 
they easy_install'ed your library and it sucked down the wrong version 
of sqlalchemy?


I hope the rhetorical nature of that question is apparent, and I only 
wish there was more support in the python community for specifying 
sensible backstop version limits...

 0.7dev is the right restriction to use.

 I'll pull it off of Pypi.

 We definitely do push for as much backwards compat as possible,  but the 
 release does remove / hard change things that were raising warnings 
 throughout 0.6, as well as lots of apps rely upon undocumented behaviors 
 which may have changed, so its inevitable that some apps will need adjustment.

 But the code itself should not be considered as bug-free as a stable 
 release so in any case its not appropriate to push it into installations 
 without explicit consent.


But aren't apps supposed to use =0.6.99 to avoid backward compats
issues? Apps that don't will also break when 0.7 final is on pypi.

There are different things here:

1/ PyPI allows projects to publish any release, and easy_install will
pick the latest one, whether it's a final (==stable) or not. You can
publish your trunk if you want.

2/ An application that defines a dependency can define it in different flavors:

a - Give me the latest release that was made available at PyPI
b - Give me the latest release from the 0.6.x series,   it can use a
0.7 or 0.6.99
c - Give me version XX   --- best practice once in production


For applications that are using 2.a, the interpretation of most people
is that the latest release at PyPI they are depending on is not a
development release. If they want a development release, they do it
explicitly in their environment to leave on the edge.

3/ a user types easy_install SQLAlchemy and wants the latest stable

So, yeah, when 0.7.1 final will be out, some apps will break -- but
they've been warned and they can choose to change their code or pin
their dependency to the 0.6.x series. But right now, it's a
development release that has been published for feedback as opposed to
a final release.

The less disruptive process (until distutils2 is available) in that
case is to let people opt in to be beta testers, and let SQLAlchemy
means latest stable, whether it's called by easy_install
SQLAlchemy or in the install_requires option in setuptools.

Thanks for the detailed response Tarek. It means that beta testers
won't be able to download SQLAlchemy betas from PyPI, and will have to
install betas from source?

[sqlalchemy] Pypi release policy

2011-02-14 Thread M3nt0r3
Yesterday my life become an hell. :)
On saturday ( :O )  SA0.7.b1 is released and easy_install start to use
it. The problem is that it broke some installer and doesn't work with
my app.
I think that i'd better if easy_install sqlalchemy continue di install
the stable branches of the lib and maybe a sqlalchemy==dev  can use de
0.7.b ...cicle.

thanks

I had a similar issue this week-end, all my buildbots turned red this
week-end, so I had to pin to 0.6.6 my trunk

It seems that 0.6.7b1 introduced a backward incompatible change
without a deprecation step, from 0.6.6 to 0.7.1b

(Unless I missed a previous deprecation warning, but I don't recall seeing any)

It sounds like the dependencies in your package are too liberal. I would 
change your dependency to SQLAlchemy =0.6, 0.7dev. That way you can 
never accidentally install an incompatible SQLAlchemy version.

Tarek -

We're talking about 0.7b1 and hidden is checked, I always check it 
immediately and un-hide the previous released version as soon as I put up a 
beta.  It appears that easy_install and pip still go out and install the 
highest version regardless of the hidden flag.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=searchterm=sqlalchemysubmit=search - 
shows 0.6.6

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/SQLAlchemy/ - shows 0.6.6


what else am I supposed to be clicking so that I can have beta releases of 
newer versions on pypi ?

 you don't release at pypi a version that breaks the latest stable.  or
 if you do, you check the hidden attribute on that release, to avoid
 this problem with installers
 
 SQLAlchemy 0.7b1 is hidden. The hidden flag only hides it from humans
 though, not from setuptools.
 
 oh true...I forgot it's not hidden in the simple index :/
 
 OK so you're the expert - how does one release a beta on pypi without 
 crashing everyone's stable install ?   should i just stick to sourceforge 
 until final release ?
 
 Unfortunately, Setuptools will pick the latest version and won't care
 about beta tags (zc.buildout has such feature -- prefer-final, and
 Distutils2 too)
 
 So I guess the best way with the current eco-system is to avoid
 pushing any unstable release to PyPI
 
 or... if you have the time to do so, push a new 0.7 beta that makes
 sure people that run on the latest 0.6 can run it -- with deprecation
 warnings all over the place :)

I'll pull it off of Pypi.

We definitely do push for as much backwards compat as possible,  but the 
release does remove / hard change things that were raising warnings throughout 
0.6, as well as lots of apps rely upon undocumented behaviors which may have 
changed, so its inevitable that some apps will need adjustment.

But the code itself should not be considered as bug-free as a stable release 
so in any case its not appropriate to push it into installations without 
explicit consent.
