* 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
* modify render_card to return whether card was empty
* plumbing
* add flag to proto message
* plumbing: pass flag along to PartiallyRenderedCard
* add tests
* Use a custom return type for clarity (dae)
* chore: add myself to CONTRIBUTORS file
* refactor: use newer type hints for Union/Optional
* refactor: fix deprecated type annotations
use collections.abc rather than typing
* refactor: use lower letter type annotations
* style: reformat with black
* refactor: remove unused imports
* refactor: add missing imports for type hints
* fixup! refactor: use newer type hints for Union/Optional
* fix: add missing imports for type annotations
* fixup! refactor: use newer type hints for Union/Optional
* fixup! style: reformat with black
* refactor: fix remaining imports re: type hints
Instead of flattening the output (which was missing FrontSide), alter
the behaviour of render() instead. The non-partial output is now exposed
via Protobuf, so the non-Python clients can take advantage of it.
* Use submodule imports in aqt
* Use submodule imports in pylib
* More submodule imports in pylib
These required removing some direct imports to get rid of import cycles.
* PEP8 dbproxy.py
* PEP8 errors.py
* PEP8 httpclient.py
* PEP8 lang.py
* PEP8 latex.py
* Add decorator to deprectate key words
* Make replacement for deprecated attribute optional
* Use new helper `_print_replacement_warning()`
* PEP8 media.py
* PEP8 rsbackend.py
* PEP8 sound.py
* PEP8 stdmodels.py
* PEP8 storage.py
* PEP8 sync.py
* PEP8 tags.py
* PEP8 template.py
* PEP8 types.py
* Fix DeprecatedNamesMixinForModule
The class methods need to be overridden with instance methods, so every
module has its own dicts.
* Use `# pylint: disable=invalid-name` instead of id
* PEP8 utils.py
* Only decorate `__getattr__` with `@no_type_check`
* Fix mypy issue with snakecase
Importing it from `anki._vendor` raises attribute errors.
* Format
* Remove inheritance of DeprecatedNamesMixin
There's almost no shared code now and overriding classmethods with
instance methods raises mypy issues.
* Fix traceback frames of deprecation warnings
* remove fn/TimedLog (dae)
Neither Anki nor add-ons appear to have been using it
* fix some issues with stringcase use (dae)
- the wheel was depending on the PyPI version instead of our vendored
version
- _vendor:stringcase should not have been listed in the anki py_library.
We already include the sources in py_srcs, and need to refer to them
directly. By listing _vendor:stringcase as well, we were making a
top-level stringcase library available, which would have only worked for
distributing because the wheel definition was also incorrect.
- mypy errors are what caused me to mistakenly add the above - they
were because the type: ignore at the top of stringcase.py was causing
mypy to completely ignore the file, so it was not aware of any attributes
it contained.
This adds Python 3.9 and 3.10 typing syntax to files that import
attributions from __future___. Python 3.9 should be able to cope with
the 3.10 syntax, but Python 3.8 will no longer work.
On Windows/Mac, install the latest Python 3.9 version from python.org.
There are currently no orjson wheels for Python 3.10 on Windows/Mac,
which will break the build unless you have Rust installed separately.
On Linux, modern distros should have Python 3.9 available already. If
you're on an older distro, you'll need to build Python from source first.
In order to split backend.proto into a more manageable size, the protobuf
handling needed to be updated. This took more time than I would have
liked, as each language handles protobuf differently:
- The Python Protobuf code ignores "package" directives, and relies
solely on how the files are laid out on disk. While it would have been
nice to keep the generated files in a private subpackage, Protobuf gets
confused if the files are located in a location that does not match
their original .proto layout, so the old approach of storing them in
_backend/ will not work. They now clutter up pylib/anki instead. I'm
rather annoyed by that, but alternatives seem to be having to add an extra
level to the Protobuf path, making the other languages suffer, or trying
to hack around the issue by munging sys.modules.
- Protobufjs fails to expose packages if they don't start with a capital
letter, despite the fact that lowercase packages are the norm in most
languages :-( This required a patch to fix.
- Rust was the easiest, as Prost is relatively straightforward compared
to Google's tools.
The Protobuf files are now stored in /proto/anki, with a separate package
for each file. I've split backend.proto into a few files as a test, but
the majority of that work is still to come.
The Python Protobuf building is a bit of a hack at the moment, hard-coding
"proto" as the top level folder, but it seems to get the job done for now.
Also changed the workspace name, as there seems to be a number of Bazel
repos moving away from the more awkward reverse DNS naming style.
An example of how we can start migrating the codebase to PEP8:
- enable invalid-name at the top
- use bazel run pylib:pylint to identify names that need renaming
- use PyCharm or similar to rename the functions/variables
- in the cases where the conversion is not just snake_case, use
.register_deprecated_aliases()
+ removed the __repr__() definition, it dumps all the note content
and obscures the error message
This could potentially help us avoid having to refetch the notetype
during study in the future, though updates to Note initialization and
the LaTeX handling would be required first.
This splits update_card() into separate undoable/non-undoable ops
like the change to notes in b4396b94abdeba3347d30025c5c0240d991006c9
It means that actions get a blanket 'Update Card' description - in the
future we'll probably want to either add specific actions to the backend,
or allow an enum or string to be passed in to describe the op.
Other changes:
- card.flush() can no longer be used to add new cards. Card creation
is only supposed to be done in response to changes in a note's fields,
and this functionality was only exposed because the card generation
hadn't been migrated to the backend at that point. As far as I'm aware,
only Arthur's "copy notes" add-on used this functionality, and that should
be an easy fix - when the new note is added, the associated cards will
be generated, and they can then be retrieved with note.cards()
- tidy ups/PEP8
- anki._backend stores the protobuf files and rsbackend.py code
- pylib modules import protobuf messages directly from the
_pb2 files, and explicitly export any will be returned or consumed
by public pylib functions, so that calling code can import from pylib
- the "rsbackend" no longer imports and re-exports protobuf messages
- pylib can just consume them directly.
- move errors to errors.py
Still todo:
- rsbridge
- finishing the work on rsbackend, and check what we need to add
back to the original file location to avoid breaking add-ons
- front/back/css shown in tabs
- front/back preview switchable; only one webview needs to be loaded
- dropdown to select cloze number in preview
- search box to search in front/back/css
- changes are now committed in bulk when closing the dialog,
and can be canceled
- it's not necessary to save the note to the database to preview it
- duplicate fields are now shown as duplicates in the top list
- redraw preview more quickly
- use + instead of _ when deduplicating names, as the latter is a
glob character
Saves having to serialize the note fields and q/a templates, which
is particularly a win when rendering question/answer in the browse
screen.
Also some work towards being able to preview notes without having to
commit them to the database.
