pubgrub-py 1.1.0

Python bindings for the PubGrub version resolution algorithm

pubgrub-py

Python bindings for the PubGrub version resolution algorithm.

PubGrub is the dependency resolution algorithm used by Dart's pub package manager, and this library provides Python access to the Rust implementation for high-performance dependency resolution.

Installation

pip install pubgrub-py

Or with maturin for development:

cd packages/pubgrub-py
maturin develop

Usage

Simple API

from pubgrub_py import resolve

# Define available packages with their versions and dependencies
available = {
    "app": {
        "1.0.0": {"lib-a": ">=1.0.0", "lib-b": ">=2.0.0"},
    },
    "lib-a": {
        "1.0.0": {},
        "1.1.0": {"shared": ">=1.0.0"},
    },
    "lib-b": {
        "2.0.0": {"shared": ">=1.0.0"},
        "2.1.0": {"shared": ">=1.5.0"},
    },
    "shared": {
        "1.0.0": {},
        "1.5.0": {},
        "2.0.0": {},
    },
}

# Resolve dependencies
result = resolve(
    requirements={"app": ">=1.0.0"},
    available=available,
)
# Returns: {"app": "1.0.0", "lib-a": "1.1.0", "lib-b": "2.1.0", "shared": "2.0.0"}

Resolver Class API

For more control, use the Resolver class directly:

from pubgrub_py import Resolver, ResolutionError

resolver = Resolver()

# Add packages one by one
resolver.add_package("app", "1.0.0", {"lib": ">=1.0.0"})
resolver.add_package("lib", "1.0.0", {})
resolver.add_package("lib", "2.0.0", {})

# Resolve
try:
    result = resolver.resolve({"app": ">=1.0.0"})
    print(result)  # {"app": "1.0.0", "lib": "2.0.0"}
except ResolutionError as e:
    print(f"Resolution failed: {e}")

Version Constraint Syntax

This library supports PEP 440 version specifiers:

Operator	Example	Meaning
>=	>=1.0.0	Greater than or equal
<=	<=2.0.0	Less than or equal
>	>1.0.0	Greater than
<	<2.0.0	Less than
==	==1.5.0	Exact match
!=	!=1.3.0	Not equal
~=	~=1.4.0	Compatible release (>=1.4.0,<1.5.0)

Combined constraints are separated by commas: >=1.0.0,<2.0.0

Error Handling

When resolution fails, ResolutionError is raised with a human-readable explanation:

from pubgrub_py import resolve, ResolutionError

try:
    resolve(
        requirements={"a": ">=1.0.0", "b": ">=1.0.0"},
        available={
            "a": {"1.0.0": {"shared": ">=2.0.0"}},
            "b": {"1.0.0": {"shared": "<2.0.0"}},
            "shared": {"1.0.0": {}, "2.0.0": {}},
        },
    )
except ResolutionError as e:
    print(e)
    # Output explains the conflict:
    # "Because a 1.0.0 depends on shared >=2.0.0
    #  and b 1.0.0 depends on shared <2.0.0,
    #  a 1.0.0 and b 1.0.0 are incompatible."
