This changes 'keep existing version' to 'sync project changes'
when changes to the pyproject.toml file have been detected that
are newer than the installer's version.
Also adds a way to temporarily enable the launcher, as we needed some
other trigger than the pyproject.toml file anyway, and this approach
also solves #4165.
And removes the 'quit' option, since it's an uncommon operation, and
the user can just close the window instead.
Short-term caveat: users with older launchers/addon will trigger the old
pyproject.toml mtime bump, leading to a 'sync project changes' message
that will not make much sense to a typical user.
While something we probably don't want to encourage much of, this
may enable some previously-unshared add-ons.

The 'uv add' command is transaction, so if an add-on tries to inject
incompatible dependencies into the environment, the venv will be
left as-is. And each Anki upgrade/downgrade resets the requirements,
so the requested packages shouldn't cause errors down the line.
Sample add-on:
import subprocess
from aqt import mw
from aqt.operations import QueryOp
from aqt.qt import QAction
from aqt.utils import showInfo
def ensure_spacy(col):
print("trying to import spacy")
try:
import spacy
print("successful import")
return
except Exception as e:
print("error importing:", e)
print("attempting add")
try:
from aqt.package import add_python_requirements as add
except Exception as e:
raise Exception(f"package unavailable, can't install: {e}")
# be explicit about version, or Anki beta users will get
# a beta wheel that may break
(success, output) = add(["spacy==3.8.7", "https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/ko_core_news_sm-3.8.0/ko_core_news_sm-3.8.0-py3-none-any.whl"])
if not success:
raise Exception(f"adding failed: {output}")
print("success")
# alterantively:
# from aqt.package import venv_binary
# subprocess.run([venv_binary("spacy"), "download", "ko_core_news_sm"], check=True)
# print("model added")
# large packages will freeze for a while on first import on macOS
import spacy
print("spacy import successful")
def activate_spacy():
def on_success(res):
mw.progress.single_shot(1000, lambda: showInfo("Spacy installed"))
QueryOp(parent=mw, op=ensure_spacy, success=on_success).with_progress("Installing spacy...").run_in_background()
action = QAction("Activate Spacy", mw)
action.triggered.connect(activate_spacy)
mw.form.menuTools.addAction(action)
* Migrate build system to uv
Closes#3787, and is a step towards #3081 and #4022
This change breaks our PyOxidizer bundling process. While we probably
could update it to work with the new venvs & lockfile, my intention
is to use this as a base to try out a uv-based packager/installer.
Some notes about the changes:
- Use uv for python download + venv installation
- Drop python/requirements* in favour of pyproject files / uv.lock
- Bumped to latest Python 3.9 version. The move to 3.13 should be
a fairly trivial change when we're ready.
- Dropped the old write_wheel.py in favour of uv/hatchling. This has
the unfortunate side-effect of dropping leading zeros in our wheels,
which we could try hack around in the future.
- Switch to Qt 6.7 for the dev repo, as it's the first PyQt version
with a Linux/ARM WebEngine wheel.
- Unified our macOS deployment target with minimum required for ARM.
- Dropped unused fluent python files
- Dropped unused python license generation
- Dropped helpers to run under Qt 5, as our wheels were already
requiring Qt 6 to install.
* Build action to create universal uv binary
* Drop some PyOxidizer-related files
* Use Windows ARM64 cargo/node binaries during build
We can't provide ARM64 wheels to users yet due to #4079, but we can
at least speed up the build.
The rustls -> native-tls change on Windows is because ring requires
clang to compile for ARM64, and I figured it's best to keep our Windows
deps consistent. We already built the wheels with native-tls.
* Make libankihelper a universal library
We were shipping a single arch library in a purelib, leading to
breakages when running on a different platform.
* Use Python wheel for mpv/lame on Windows/Mac
This is convenient, but suboptimal on a Mac at the moment. The first
run of mpv will take a number of seconds for security checks to run,
and our mpv code ends up timing out, repeating the process each time.
Our installer stub will need to invoke mpv once first to get it validated.
We could address this by distributing the audio with the installer/stub,
or perhaps by putting the binaries in a .pkg file that's notarized+stapled
and then included in the wheel.
* Add some helper scripts to build a fully-locked wheel
* Initial macOS launcher prototype
* Add a hidden env var to preload our libs and audio helpers on macOS
* qt/bundle -> qt/launcher
- remove more of the old bundling code
- handle app icon
* Fat binary, notarization & dmg
* Publish wheels on testpypi for testing
* Use our Python pin for the launcher too
* Python cleanups
* Extend launcher to other platforms + more
- Switch to Qt 6.8 for repo default, as 6.7 depends on an older
libwebp/tiff which is unavailable on newer installs
- Drop tools/mac-x86, as we no longer need to test against Qt 5
- Add flags to cross compile wheels on Mac and Linux
- Bump glibc target to 2_36, building on Debian Stable
- Increase mpv timeout on macOS to allow for initial gatekeeper checks
- Ship both arm64 and amd64 uv on Linux, with a bash stub to pick
the appropriate arch.
* Fix pylint on Linux
* Fix failure to run from /usr/local/bin
* Remove remaining pyoxidizer refs, and clean up duplicate release folder
* Rust dep updates
- Rust 1.87 for now (1.88 due out in around a week)
- Nom looks involved, so I left it for now
- prost-reflect depends on a new prost version that got yanked
* Python 3.13 + dep updates
Updated protoc binaries + add helper in order to try fix build breakage.
Ended up being due to an AI-generated update to pip-system-certs that
was not reviewed carefully enough:
https://gitlab.com/alelec/pip-system-certs/-/issues/36
The updated mypy/black needed some tweaks to our files.
* Windows compilation fixes
* Automatically run Anki after installing on Windows
* Touch pyproject.toml upon install, so we check for updates
* Update Python deps
- urllib3 for CVE
- pip-system-certs got fixed
- markdown/pytest also updated
* fix: except only non-system-exiting exceptions
see https://youtu.be/zrVfY9SuO64
* chore: add myself to CONTRIBUTORS file
* refactor: explicitly specify possible exceptions
If an exception is not an Exception, there are only three options left.
see https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#exception-hierarchy
* refactor: use BaseException for fallback
