Overview

git-pypi provides a pip-compatible package index server that serves packages based on the contents of git repositories. The server implements a subset of Simple Repository API.

It is meant to be used in a monorepo scenario, where some packages housed in the repository depend on others. When using git-pypi as the package index, one can avoid specifying git package URIs explicitly.

The packages are indexed based on git tags. The service makes the following assumptions about the git repository:

• tags adhere to the following format: <package-name>/v<package-version>,
• tags are accurate w.r.t. the actual package versions they represent,
• the repository layout is flat, e.g:

.
├── package-a/
│   ├── pyproject.toml
│   └── [...]
├── package-b/
│   ├── pyproject.toml
│   └── [...]
└── [...]

Only serving source distributions from a git repository is supported at this time.

When a specific package (e.g. package_a-1.2.3.tar.gz) is requested by pip, and the artifact is not already cached, the server will perform the following operations:

1. Check out the package directory tree (and, optionally, additional trees as dictated by the server config) at the given tag (e.g. package-a/v1.2.3) to a temporary build directory.
2. Run the build command in the temporary build directory.
3. Copy the package artifact to the cache.
4. Remove the temporary build directory.
5. Return a HTTP 200 response containing the package contents.

Subsequent requests for the same package will use the cached version. Cached items are keyed by the SHA1 of the commit, so re-tagging a commit will cause the package to be built again (NB: your package manager of choice is probably doing its own caching - something to watch out when re-tagging releases). Cache is persistent between server runs.

git-pypi can also serve prebuild packages from a flat local directory.

Multiple repositories can be configured. Package lookup happens in the order the repositories were defined in the config file.

Installation

pipx install git-pypi

Usage

After installation, git-pypi provides the following CLI scripts.

git-pypi-configure

Generates a default git-pypi configuration file.

$ git-pypi-configure -h

usage: git-pypi-configure [-h] [--config CONFIG] [--force]

Generate a default git-pypi configuration file.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG, -c CONFIG
                        Config file path.
  --force, -f           Overwrite existing file.

git-pypi-run

Runs the git-pypi server.

$ git-pypi-run -h

usage: git-pypi-run [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--config CONFIG] [--clear-cache] [--debug]

Run the git-pypi server.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --host HOST, -H HOST  Server host
  --port PORT, -p PORT  Server port
  --config CONFIG, -c CONFIG
                        Config file path.
  --clear-cache         Clear the package cache prior to starting.
  --debug               Enable debug logging.

Configuration

By default, git-pypi-run will attempt to read a configuration file from ~/.git-pypi/config.toml. Should the file be missing, a default configuration shall be used. The config file location can be overridden by using -c flag.

Sample configuration file:

version = 1

# Cache directory location.
cached-artifacts-dir-path = "~/.git-pypi/cache/artifacts"

# Fallback index URL used if a package cannot be found in any of the configured
# repositories. Omit, leave empty, or null to disable.
fallback-index-url = "https://pypi.python.org/simple"

[server]
host = "127.0.0.1"
port = 60100
threads = 4
timeout = 300

[repositories.git-local]
type = "git"

# Directory where the Git repository can be found.
dir-path = "~/.git-pypi/repositories/one"

# Directory where package artifacts can be found.
package-artifacts-dir-path = "dist"

# The sdist package build command.
build-command = ["make", "build"]

# Timeout for the build command.
build-timeout = 15 

# If true, `git fetch` step will be skipped.
skip-refresh = true

# Timeout for the `git fetch` command.
refresh-timeout = 5

[repositories.git-remote]
type = "git"

# The address of Git remote:
remote-uri = "[e-mail]:pierec/two.git"

# Directory where the Git repository will be cloned. Will be reused if the
# repository is already there and the `origin` remote matches `remote-uri`.
dir-path = "~/.git-pypi/repositories/two"

# ...other supported options are identical to the entry above.

[repositories.vendored]
type = "package-dir"

# A flat directory containing Python packages (dist and wheels).
dir-path = "~/.git-pypi/repositories/vendored"

Example Repository Layout

Below is an example monorepository layout that works well with git-pypi.

Development

A makefile codifying several common tasks is available for developer's conevenience.

make fmt                    # format the code
make check                  # run static checks
make test                   # run tests
make test-update-snapshots  # run tests and update snapshots
make build                  # build a package
