mgf-alembic 0.4.4

Async-aware alembic env.py helper for mgf-common consumers — one-call configure_env replaces ~40 lines of boilerplate. Sibling of mgf-common under the mgf.* namespace; pairs with mgf-sqlalchemy.

mgf-alembic — async-aware alembic env.py helper for mgf-common consumers

Shape: Federation sibling of mgf-common. The current mgf-common pin window is shown in this package's PyPI metadata — sourced from pyproject.toml at release time, so this README can't go stale. (Per v2.6 DOC-01 / project-shape taxonomy. PAPER-38.)

Sibling of mgf-common + mgf-sqlalchemy under the mgf.* namespace. Houses the async-aware alembic env.py helper that previously lived under mgf.common.alembic.* — extracted at mgf-common v0.30 / mgf-alembic v0.1 (paired with mgf-sqlalchemy v0.1) per the federation split plan.

What this provides

Submodule	What
mgf.alembic	configure_env — one call replaces the ~40-line env.py boilerplate. Auto-detects sync vs async drivers from the URL prefix (postgresql+asyncpg://, sqlite+aiosqlite://, etc.). Plumbs compare_type, compare_server_default, naming_convention, include_object, include_schemas through to alembic.context.configure.

include_object / include_schemas were added per PAPER-22 in mgf-common v0.19; carried over to mgf-alembic v0.1 unchanged.

Install

pip install mgf-alembic
# Or with the test extra (aiosqlite for async-driver round-trip tests):
pip install 'mgf-alembic[test]'

Pulls in mgf-common, mgf-sqlalchemy, and alembic>=1.13 automatically.

Quick start — the entire env.py

# alembic/env.py
from mgf.alembic import configure_env
from myapp.config import MyAppSettings
from myapp.db.base import Base

settings = MyAppSettings()
configure_env(
    database_url=settings.database_url,
    target_metadata=Base.metadata,
)

That's the entire file. The helper detects offline vs online mode, runs the migration, disposes the engine cleanly. Async drivers (asyncpg, aiomysql, aiosqlite, asyncmy, async psycopg) are auto-detected; sync drivers fall through the synchronous path.

PostGIS / TimescaleDB: filter extension tables

def _exclude_extensions(obj, name, type_, reflected, compare_to):
    return not (type_ == "table" and name in {"spatial_ref_sys"})

configure_env(
    database_url=settings.database_url,
    target_metadata=Base.metadata,
    include_object=_exclude_extensions,
)

alembic revision --autogenerate no longer proposes phantom drops for extension-managed tables (PostGIS spatial_ref_sys, TimescaleDB _timescaledb_internal, pgvector housekeeping).

Naming-convention shape

Constraint names auto-generated by op.create_* are otherwise anonymous and vary across DBs — pin them:

configure_env(
    database_url=settings.database_url,
    target_metadata=Base.metadata,
    naming_convention={
        "ix": "ix_%(column_0_label)s",
        "uq": "uq_%(table_name)s_%(column_0_name)s",
        "ck": "ck_%(table_name)s_%(constraint_name)s",
        "fk": "fk_%(table_name)s_%(column_0_name)s_%(referred_table_name)s",
        "pk": "pk_%(table_name)s",
    },
)

Documentation

• docs/recipes/alembic.md — full async-alembic walkthrough.
• docs/cutover/v0.1.0.md — maiden voyage migration story (the v0.30 split).
• PUBLIC_API.md — full public surface contract.
• CHANGELOG.md — release history.

For the federation-wide engineering standards (DESIGN_PRINCIPLES, ERROR_HANDLING, SECURITY, etc.) see mgf-common/docs/standards/. This sibling inherits them by reference; the standards source-of-truth lives in mgf-common.

Conformance: L2 per mgf-common/docs/standards/. Per-rule audit ledger: docs/inprogress/MGF_STANDARDS_CONFORMANCE.md. L2 means every federation MUST rule applies, evidenced by the tracker.

Status

🚧 Experimental — every public name is experimental per AP-09. Promotion to stable happens release-by-release as consumer feedback in mgf-common/FEEDBACK.md converges. The 0.x window applies. Pin tightly: mgf-alembic = ">=0.X.0,<0.Y".
