Release Notes

bazelbuild/rules_python (rules_python)

v0.31.0

Compare Source

Changed

• For Bazel 7, the core rules and providers are now implemented in rules_python
  directly and the rules bundled with Bazel are not used. Bazel 6 and earlier
  continue to use the Bazel builtin symbols. Of particular note, this means,
  under Bazel 7, the builtin global symbol PyInfo is not the same as what
  is loaded from rules_python. The same is true of PyRuntimeInfo.

v0.30.0

Compare Source

Changed

• (toolchains) Windows hosts always ignore pyc files in the downloaded runtimes.
  This fixes issues due to pyc files being created at runtime and affecting the
  definition of what files were considered part of the runtime.

• (pip_parse) Added the envsubst parameter, which enables environment variable
  substitutions in the extra_pip_args attribute.

• (pip_repository) Added the envsubst parameter, which enables environment
  variable substitutions in the extra_pip_args attribute.

Fixed

• (bzlmod) pip.parse now does not fail with an empty requirements.txt.

• (py_wheel) Wheels generated by py_wheel now preserve executable bits when
  being extracted by installer and/or pip.

• (coverage) During the running of lcov, the stdout/stderr was causing test
  failures. By default, suppress output when generating lcov. This can be
  overridden by setting 'VERBOSE_COVERAGE'. This change only affect bazel
  7.x.x and above.

• (toolchain) Changed the host_toolchain to symlink all files to support
  Windows host environments without symlink support.

• (PyRuntimeInfo) Switch back to builtin PyRuntimeInfo for Bazel 6.4 and when
  pystar is disabled. This fixes an error about target ... does not have ... PyRuntimeInfo.
  (#​1732)

Added

• (py_wheel) Added requires_file and extra_requires_files attributes.

• (whl_library) experimental_target_platforms now supports specifying the
  Python version explicitly and the output BUILD.bazel file will be correct
  irrespective of the python interpreter that is generating the file and
  extracting the whl distribution. Multiple python target version can be
  specified and the code generation will generate version specific dependency
  closures but that is not yet ready to be used and may break the build if
  the default python version is not selected using
  common --@​rules_python//python/config_settings:python_version=X.Y.Z.

• New Python versions available: 3.11.7, 3.12.1 using
  https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone/releases/tag/20240107.

• (toolchain) Allow setting x.y as the python_version parameter in
  the version-aware py_binary and py_test rules. This allows users to
  use the same rule import for testing with specific Python versions and
  rely on toolchain configuration and how the latest version takes precedence
  if e.g. 3.8 is selected. That also simplifies .bazelrc for any users
  that set the default python_version string flag in that way.

• (toolchain) The runtime's shared libraries (libpython.so et al) can be
  accessed using @rules_python//python/cc:current_py_cc_libs. This uses
  toolchain resolution, so the files are from the same runtime used to run a
  target. If you were previously using e.g. @python_3_11//:libpython, then
  switch to :current_py_cc_libs for looser coupling to the underlying runtime
  repo implementation.

• (repo rules) The environment variable RULES_PYTHON_REPO_DEBUG=1 can be
  set to make repository rules log detailed information about what they're
  up to.

• (coverage) Add support for python 3.12 and bump coverage.py to
  7.4.1.

v0.29.0

Compare Source

Changed

• BREAKING The deprecated incompatible_generate_aliases feature flags
  from pip_parse and gazelle got removed. They had been flipped to True
  in 0.27.0 release.
• BREAKING (wheel) The incompatible_normalize_name and
  incompatible_normalize_version flags have been removed. They had been
  flipped to True in 0.27.0 release.
• (bzlmod) The pip hub repository now uses the newly introduced config settings
  using the X.Y python version notation. This improves cross module
  interoperability and allows to share wheels built by interpreters using
  different patch versions.

Fixed

• (bzlmod pip.parse) Use a platform-independent reference to the interpreter
  pip uses. This reduces (but doesn't eliminate) the amount of
  platform-specific content in MODULE.bazel.lock files; Follow
  #​1643 for removing
  platform-specific content in MODULE.bazel.lock files.

• (wheel) The stamp variables inside the distribution name are no longer
  lower-cased when normalizing under PEP440 conventions.

Added

• (toolchains) python_register_toolchains now also generates a repository
  that is suffixed with _host, that has a single label :python that is a
  symlink to the python interpreter for the host platform. The intended use is
  mainly in repository_rule, which are always run using host platform
  Python. This means that WORKSPACE users can now copy the requirements.bzl
  file for vendoring as seen in the updated pip_parse_vendored example.

• (runfiles) rules_python.python.runfiles.Runfiles now has a static Create
  method to make imports more ergonomic. Users should only need to import the
  Runfiles object to locate runfiles.

• (toolchains) PyRuntimeInfo now includes a interpreter_version_info field
  that contains the static version information for the given interpreter.
  This can be set via py_runtime when registering an interpreter toolchain,
  and will done automatically for the builtin interpreter versions registered via
  python_register_toolchains.
  Note that this only available on the Starlark implementation of the provider.

• (config_settings) Added //python/config_settings:is_python_X.Y config
  settings to match on minor Python version. These settings match any X.Y
  version instead of just an exact X.Y.Z version.
