dependency-groups 0.2.2

A tool for resolving PEP 735 Dependency Group data

dependency-groups

An implementation of Dependency Groups (PEP 735).

This is a library which is able to parse dependency groups, following includes, and provide that data as output.

Usage

dependency_groups expects data in the form of a dict, the loaded [dependency-groups] table. Start by loading:

import tomllib

with open("pyproject.toml", "rb") as fp:
    pyproject = tomllib.load(fp)

groups = pyproject["dependency-groups"]

Using dependency_groups.resolve, you can produce a list of strings, which must be valid Dependency Specifiers.

from dependency_groups import resolve

groups = {
  "test": ["pytest", {"include-group": "runtime"}],
  "runtime": ["flask"],
}

resolve(groups, "test")  # ['pytest', 'flask']

The library provides its resolution machinery via an object oriented interface, which allows users to explore the structure of data before or during resolution using DependencyGroupInclude and DependencyGroupResolver.

For example,

from dependency_groups import DependencyGroupResolver

groups = {
  "test": ["pytest", {"include-group": "runtime"}],
  "runtime": ["flask"],
}

resolver = DependencyGroupResolver(groups)

# you can lookup a group without resolving it
resolver.lookup("test")  # [Requirement('pytest'), DependencyGroupInclude('runtime')]

# and resolve() produces packaging Requirements
resolver.resolve("test")  # [Requirement('pytest'), Requirement('flask')]

Functional Interface

def resolve(
    dependency_groups: Mapping[str, str | Mapping[str, str]], group: str, /
) -> tuple[str, ...]:
    """
    Resolve a dependency group to a tuple of requirements, as strings.

    :param dependency_groups: the parsed contents of the ``[dependency-groups]`` table
        from ``pyproject.toml``
    :param group: the name of the group to resolve

    :raises TypeError: if the inputs appear to be the wrong types
    :raises ValueError: if the data does not appear to be valid dependency group data
    :raises LookupError: if group name is absent
    :raises packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement: if a specifier is not valid
    """

Models

Parsed Dependency Group Includes are represented by a dataclass:

@dataclasses.dataclass
class DependencyGroupInclude:
    include_group: str

Resolver

class DependencyGroupResolver:
    """
    A resolver for Dependency Group data.

    This class handles caching, name normalization, cycle detection, and other
    parsing requirements. There are only two public methods for exploring the data:
    ``lookup()`` and ``resolve()``.

    :param dependency_groups: A mapping, as provided via pyproject
        ``[dependency-groups]``.
    """

    def lookup(self, group: str) -> tuple[Requirement | DependencyGroupInclude, ...]:
        """
        Lookup a group name, returning the parsed dependency data for that group.
        This will not resolve includes.

        :param group: the name of the group to lookup

        :raises ValueError: if the data does not appear to be valid dependency group
            data
        :raises LookupError: if group name is absent
        :raises packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement: if a specifier is not valid
        """

    def resolve(self, group: str) -> tuple[Requirement, ...]:
        """
        Resolve a dependency group to a list of requirements.

        :param group: the name of the group to resolve

        :raises TypeError: if the inputs appear to be the wrong types
        :raises ValueError: if the data does not appear to be valid dependency group
            data
        :raises LookupError: if group name is absent
        :raises packaging.requirements.InvalidRequirement: if a specifier is not valid
        """

Errors

The following error classes are defined:

class CyclicDependencyError(ValueError):
    """
    An error representing the detection of a cycle.
    """

CLI Usage

dependency-groups provides a simple, module-level entrypoint. It can parse a pyproject.toml file and print a dependency group's contents back out. Just use python -m dependency_groups --help for details!
