pyproject-hooks 0.1.0

Wrappers to call hooks on pyproject.toml-based build backends.

pyproject-hooks

This package contains wrappers to call hooks on build backends for pyproject.toml-based projects. It is intended to be a low-level shared implementation for tools like pip and build.

These wrappers provide:

• Fallback for the optional hooks.
  • Build frontends can call the hooks without checking if they are defined.
• Isolation from current process, via a subprocess.
  • Build frontends can control how the subprocess is run.

Usage

import os
import tomli
from pyproject_hooks.wrappers import PyProjectHookCaller

source_path = "path/to/source"
pyproject_toml_path = os.path.join(source_path, "pyproject.toml")

with open(pyproject_toml_path) as f:
    build_system = tomli.load(f)["build-system"]

# The caller is responsible for installing these and running the hooks in
# an environment where they are available.
print("static build-time requirements:", build_system["requires"])

hooks = PyProjectHookCaller(
    source_path,
    build_backend=build_system["build-backend"],
    backend_path=build_system.get("backend-path"),
)
config_options = {}  # Optional parameters for build backend

# Again, the caller is responsible for installing these build requirements
print(
    "dynamic build-time requirements:",
    hooks.get_requires_for_build_wheel(config_options),
)

destination = "also/a/folder"
whl_filename = hooks.build_wheel(destination, config_options)
assert os.path.isfile(os.path.join(destination, whl_filename))
