pyd3js-interpolate 0.1.0

Python port of d3-interpolate

pyd3js-interpolate

Python port of d3-interpolate.

Tracked version: upstream_lock.json (d3-interpolate@3.0.1).

What is d3-interpolate?

d3-interpolate provides interpolators: functions that map a parameter (t \in [0,1]) between two values (numbers, colors, dates, arrays, affine transforms, zoom views, and more). D3 uses these for transitions and animations; this package brings the same building blocks to Python (with DOM-free transform parsing).

What you get

• 100% upstream export parity for the pinned d3-interpolate@3.0.1 (see the compatibility matrix and docs/UPSTREAM_API.md).
• 100% line coverage for pyd3js_interpolate (enforced via --cov-fail-under=100 when running this package’s tests).
• Pytest ports of the upstream Mocha tests, plus an optional vendored Mocha gate (-m upstream) after scripts/vendor_upstream.py and npm install.
• Runnable docs: docs/USER_GUIDE.md examples are checked by the test suite (same pattern as pyd3js-array).
• D3-style camelCase names on the package (e.g. interpolateRgb) and snake_case equivalents (e.g. interpolate_rgb).
• DOM-free interpolateTransformCss / interpolateTransformSvg (no browser DOMMatrix or SVG DOM).

Install

From PyPI:

pip install pyd3js-interpolate

This pulls in pyd3js-color automatically.

Workspace development:

uv sync --group dev

Usage

import pyd3js_interpolate as d3

i = d3.interpolate(0, 10)
print(i(0.5))

c = d3.interpolateRgb("steelblue", "brown")
print(c(0.5))

5.0
rgb(118, 86, 111)

Legend:

• [implemented]: ported for the pinned version; covered by Python tests (and optional upstream Mocha gate).
• [missing]: reserved for upstream drift (should not appear for the pinned version).

Python-only helpers

The module also exposes isNumberArray / is_number_array, snake_case interpolate_* aliases, interpolate_value, generic_array, and basis_fn for Python ergonomics (not separate names in upstream index.js).

Testing

# From repo root, or from this package directory (`uv run pytest` enforces 100% line coverage via pyproject.toml):
uv run pytest packages/pyd3js-interpolate/package_tests --cov=pyd3js_interpolate --cov-fail-under=100
uv run ruff format packages/pyd3js-interpolate
uv run ruff check packages/pyd3js-interpolate
uv run ty check packages/pyd3js-interpolate/src

Upstream Mocha suite (optional)

uv run python scripts/vendor_upstream.py
cd packages/pyd3js-interpolate/upstream/d3-interpolate && npm install
uv run pytest -m upstream packages/pyd3js-interpolate/package_tests

Use npm install --legacy-peer-deps if the vendored tree requires it (same as pyd3js-array).

Stability notes

• Numbers / truthiness: interpolators treat IEEE NaN like JavaScript (e.g. nogamma uses a JS-style “truthy difference” check).
• interpolateNumberArray: accepts Python array.array, 1-D memoryview, numeric list / tuple (stored as float like JS number arrays), and None as a or b matching JS undefined / empty-buffer behavior; multi-dimensional or unsupported buffer formats are rejected.
• interpolate / value.js: collections.abc.Mapping (not only dict) uses the object interpolator; interpolateNumber applies a JS-style unary-+ / ToNumber approximation (valueOf → toString / overridden __str__, with a recursion cap). Dispatch uses ToNumber(b) to choose object vs number, matching value.js. Boxed booleans via valueOf coerce to 0/1 like JS.
• interpolateObject: user-defined valueOf / toString methods on the class (not inherited from object alone) are included in the key set, similar to enumerable prototype fields in JS for…in.
• Transforms: interpolateTransformSvg parses the SVG transform attribute with the same affine composer as CSS (not only a single matrix(...)), including rotate(angle cx cy) as translate(cx,cy) rotate(angle) translate(-cx,-cy) and skewY(angle) (alongside skewX). Decomposition follows d3’s six-parameter model (translate, rotate, skewX, scaleX, scaleY); a lone skewY is folded into that basis like a browser DOMMatrix decomposition, not re-emitted as a skewY(...) token in interpolateTransformCss / Svg.
