Python wheel package for git-annex

Test git-annex wheel from PyPi

Why?

Git-annex is written in Haskell and plenty of installation methods are available. However, for deploying git-annex as a dependency of a Python library/application, like DataLad or AnnexRemote, system packages are a lot less flexible than Python's virtual environments, and other methods are more complex and fragile.

With git-annex being available from PyPi, versioned dependencies and deployment in application-specific environments are possible via standard means of Python packaging.

Caveats

A standard git-annex deployment is (primarily) a single binary (git-annex), and a bunch of symlinks that make this one binary fulfilled multiple roles (git-annex-shell, git-remote-annex, etc.). A Python wheel, however, is a ZIP file container with no support for symlinks, and also no support for "post-install" scripts.

In order to square this circle, the git-annex binary is wrapped via regular Python entrypoint scripts that handle calling git-annex as necessary. This delivers a cross-platform compatible wheel, but at a start-up cost (~30ms vs ~11ms on my laptop).

Installation

Get the package from PyPi, and install like any other package from PyPi.

uv users can deploy git-annex in a dedicated virtual environment via the one-liner:

uv tool install git-annex

git-annex build configuration

Git-annex is built with libmagic support.

Platform notes

Linux

The manylinux wheel is self-contained and includes copies of all libraries. It only depends on the declared GLIBC versions. The magic.mgc database is not included, and is assumed to be available on the target system. Install it separately, if needed (e.g., libmagic-mgc package).

Windows

The wheel is self-contained and includes a copy of libmagic and the magic.mgc database.

Mac

The wheel is self-contained and includes a copy of libmagic and the magic.mgc database.

How to update for a new git-annex release?

Advance the submodule ./git-annex to the new release tag.

Now adjust the package version in pyproject.toml accordingly. This version must follow the rules for Python packages.

The included (GitHub) action workflows will build a corresponding wheel and upload it to PyPi.
