Packaging updates and notes for downstreams

  • Declared Python 3.12 and PyPy 3.8-3.10 supported officially in the distribution package metadata.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #553.

  • Replaced the packaging is replaced from an old-fashioned setup.py to an in-tree PEP 517 build backend – by @webknjaz.

    Whenever the end-users or downstream packagers need to build frozenlist from source (a Git checkout or an sdist), they may pass a config_settings flag pure-python. If this flag is not set, a C-extension will be built and included into the distribution.

    Here is how this can be done with pip:

    $ python3 -m pip install . --config-settings=pure-python=
    

    This will also work with -e | --editable.

    The same can be achieved via pypa/build:

    $ python3 -m build --config-setting=pure-python=
    

    Adding -w | --wheel can force pypa/build produce a wheel from source directly, as opposed to building an sdist and then building from it.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #560.

Contributor-facing changes

  • It is now possible to request line tracing in Cython builds using the with-cython-tracing PEP 517 config setting – @webknjaz.

    This can be used in CI and development environment to measure coverage on Cython modules, but is not normally useful to the end-users or downstream packagers.

    Here’s a usage example:

    $ python3 -Im pip install . --config-settings=with-cython-tracing=true
    

    For editable installs, this setting is on by default. Otherwise, it’s off unless requested explicitly.

    The following produces C-files required for the Cython coverage plugin to map the measurements back to the PYX-files:

    $ python -Im pip install -e .
    

    Alternatively, the FROZENLIST_CYTHON_TRACING=1 environment variable can be set to do the same as the PEP 517 config setting.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #560.

  • Coverage collection has been implemented for the Cython modules – by @webknjaz.

    It will also be reported to Codecov from any non-release CI jobs.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #561.

  • A step-by-step Release Guide guide has been added, describing how to release frozenlist – by @webknjaz.

    This is primarily targeting the maintainers.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #563.

  • Detailed Contributing Guidelines on authoring the changelog fragments have been published in the documentation – by @webknjaz.

    Related issues and pull requests on GitHub: #564.
