Flatpak PIP Generator

this is an unofficial pypi distribution of the flatpak_pip_generator script

upstream - https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools/tree/master/pip

Tool to automatically generate flatpak-builder manifest json from a pip package-name.

This requires requirements-parser which can be installed on your host with pip3 install --user requirements-parser.

Usage

flatpak-pip-generator --runtime='org.freedesktop.Sdk//22.08' foo which generates python3-foo.json and can be included in a manifest like:

"modules": [
  "python3-foo.json",
  {
    "name": "other-modules"
  }
]

You can also list multiple packages in single command:

flatpak-pip-generator --runtime='org.freedesktop.Sdk//22.08' foo\>=1.0.0,\<2.0.0 bar

If your project contains a requirements.txt file with all the project dependencies, you can use

flatpak-pip-generator --runtime='org.freedesktop.Sdk//22.08' --requirements-file='/the/path/to/requirements.txt' --output pypi-dependencies

You can use that in your manifest like

"modules": [
  "pypi-dependencies.json",
  {
    "name": "other-modules"
  }
]

Options

• --python2: Build with Python 2. Note that you will have to build the Python 2 shared-module as it is not in any runtime.
• --build-isolation: Enable build isolation with pip (recommended but not always work).
• --cleanup=(scripts|all): Add cleanup to the manifest. This is used when the packages installed are only used at build time.
• --build-only: Alias to --cleanup=all.
• --requirements-file=, -r: Reads the list of packages from requirements.txt file.
• --ignore-pkg=: Ignore a specific package name in a requirements-file, otherwise ignored.
• --checker-data: This adds x-checker-data to modules so you will be notified when new releases happen. See flatpak-external-data-checker for more details.
• --runtime=: Runs pip inside of a specific Flatpak runtime instead of on your host. Highly recommended for reproducability and portability. Examples would be org.freedesktop.Sdk//22.08 or org.gnome.Sdk/aarch64/43.
• --ignore-errors=: Allow the generation of empty or otherwise broken files when downloading packages fails.
• --ignore-installed=: Comma-separated list of package names for which pip should ignore already installed packages. Useful when the package is installed in the SDK but not in the runtime.
• --output=: Sets an output file.
• --yaml: Outputs a YAML file.
