pyd3js-color 0.1.0

Python port of d3-color

pyd3js-color

Python port of d3-color.

Tracked version: see upstream_lock.json.

What is d3-color?

d3-color implements color manipulation and parsing for CSS-like strings (rgb, hsl, hex, named colors), plus conversions among RGB, HSL, Lab, HCL/LCH, and Cubehelix, including formatters (formatRgb, formatHex, formatHsl, …).

This package mirrors that API in Python so visualization code can share the same color semantics as D3 without a JavaScript runtime.

What you get

• 100% upstream export parity (for the pinned d3-color@3.1.0): the compatibility matrix below lists every upstream export; none are marked [missing].
• 100% Python test coverage for pyd3js_color (run the coverage command below).
• Upstream d3-color JS tests vendored under packages/pyd3js-color/upstream/d3-color/test/; they are run via a pytest gate (-m upstream) after npm install in that directory.

Install

From PyPI:

pip install pyd3js-color

This repo is a uv workspace monorepo. For local development:

uv sync --group dev

Usage

import pyd3js_color as c

red = c.color("red")
print(red.formatRgb())
print(red.rgb().brighter(0.5).formatHex())

print(c.hsl(120, 0.5, 0.5).formatHsl())
print(c.lab(50, 10, -20).formatRgb())
print(c.cubehelix(300, 0.5, 0.5).formatRgb())

rgb(255, 0, 0)
#ff4040
hsl(120, 50%, 50%)
rgb(137, 117, 211)
rgb(142, 93, 166)

Stability & intentional deviations

• Signed zero / JS float trivia: behavior matches D3 where tests require it; any residual float differences are covered in unit tests (oracle payloads stay JSON-safe).
• Oracle parity limits: optional oracle tests compare JSON-safe strings and numbers only (NaN / -0 are exercised in Python tests instead).

Compatibility matrix

Pinned upstream inventory: docs/UPSTREAM_API.md (from d3-color@3.1.0).

Legend:

• [oracle]: implemented with optional oracle parity for representative JSON-safe cases (string/numeric outputs).
• [unit-only: …]: implemented; oracle coverage is limited by JSON or by API shape.
• [missing]: reserved for upstream drift (should not appear for the pinned version).

Upstream exports (d3-color@3.1.0)

• color — [oracle]
• cubehelix — [oracle]
• gray — [oracle]
• hcl — [oracle]
• hsl — [oracle]
• lab — [oracle]
• lch — [oracle]
• rgb — [oracle]

Testing

Run the package tests:

uv run pytest packages/pyd3js-color/tests

Coverage (Python)

uv run pytest packages/pyd3js-color/tests --cov=pyd3js_color --cov-report=term-missing

Oracle parity tests (Node)

Some tests compare behavior against real d3 (includes d3-color) via the repo’s Node oracle:

cd tools/oracle && npm ci
uv run pytest -m oracle packages/pyd3js-color/tests

Notes:

• Oracle tests must use JSON-safe values where practical (avoid ambiguous -0 / NaN in payloads).
• You can optionally enable local oracle caching by creating packages/pyd3js-color/.env with:
  • ORACLE_CACHE=1 (do not commit it).

Upstream d3-color test suite (vendored)

We vendor the pinned upstream d3-color repo (including its Mocha test suite) and run it via pytest.

uv run python scripts/vendor_upstream.py
cd packages/pyd3js-color/upstream/d3-color && npm install --legacy-peer-deps
uv run pytest -m upstream packages/pyd3js-color/tests
