:mod:`packaging.install` --- Installation tools
|
|
===============================================
|

.. module:: packaging.install
|
|
:synopsis: Download and installation building blocks
|
|
|
|
|
|
Packaging provides a set of tools to deal with downloads and installation of
|
|
distributions. Their role is to download the distribution from indexes, resolve
|
|
the dependencies, and provide a safe way to install distributions. An operation
|
|
that fails will cleanly roll back, not leave half-installed distributions on the
|
|
system. Here's the basic process followed:
|
|
|
|
#. Move all distributions that will be removed to a temporary location.
|
|
|
|
#. Install all the distributions that will be installed in a temporary location.
|
|
|
|
#. If the installation fails, move the saved distributions back to their
|
|
location and delete the installed distributions.
|
|
|
|
#. Otherwise, move the installed distributions to the right location and delete
|
|
the temporary locations.
|
|
|
|
This is a higher-level module built on :mod:`packaging.database` and
|
|
:mod:`packaging.pypi`.

Public functions
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_infos(requirements, index=None, installed=None, \
|
|
prefer_final=True)
|
|
|
|
Return information about what's going to be installed and upgraded.
|
|
*requirements* is a string containing the requirements for this
|
|
project, for example ``'FooBar 1.1'`` or ``'BarBaz (<1.2)'``.
|
|
|
|
.. XXX are requirements comma-separated?
|
|
|
|
If you want to use another index than the main PyPI, give its URI as *index*
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
*installed* is a list of already installed distributions used to find
|
|
satisfied dependencies, obsoleted distributions and eventual conflicts.
|
|
|
|
By default, alpha, beta and candidate versions are not picked up. Set
|
|
*prefer_final* to false to accept them too.
|
|
|
|
The results are returned in a dictionary containing all the information
|
|
needed to perform installation of the requirements with the
|
|
:func:`install_from_infos` function:
|
|
|
|
>>> get_install_info("FooBar (<=1.2)")
|
|
{'install': [<FooBar 1.1>], 'remove': [], 'conflict': []}
|
|
|
|
.. TODO should return tuple or named tuple, not dict
|
|
.. TODO use "predicate" or "requirement" consistently in version and here
|
|
.. FIXME "info" cannot be plural in English, s/infos/info/
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: install(project)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: install_dists(dists, path, paths=None)
|
|
|
|
Safely install all distributions provided in *dists* into *path*. *paths* is
|
|
a list of paths where already-installed distributions will be looked for to
|
|
find satisfied dependencies and conflicts (default: :data:`sys.path`).
|
|
Returns a list of installed dists.
|
|
|
|
.. FIXME dists are instances of what?
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: install_from_infos(install_path=None, install=[], remove=[], \
|
|
conflicts=[], paths=None)
|
|
|
|
Safely install and remove given distributions. This function is designed to
|
|
work with the return value of :func:`get_infos`: *install*, *remove* and
|
|
*conflicts* should be list of distributions returned by :func:`get_infos`.
|
|
If *install* is not empty, *install_path* must be given to specify the path
|
|
where the distributions should be installed. *paths* is a list of paths
|
|
where already-installed distributions will be looked for (default:
|
|
:data:`sys.path`).
|
|
|
|
This function is a very basic installer; if *conflicts* is not empty, the
|
|
system will be in a conflicting state after the function completes. It is a
|
|
building block for more sophisticated installers with conflict resolution
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
.. TODO document typical value for install_path
|
|
.. TODO document integration with default schemes, esp. user site-packages
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: install_local_project(path)
|
|
|
|
Install a distribution from a source directory, which must contain either a
|
|
Packaging-compliant :file:`setup.cfg` file or a legacy Distutils
|
|
:file:`setup.py` script (in which case Distutils will be used under the hood
|
|
to perform the installation).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: remove(project_name, paths=None, auto_confirm=True)
|
|
|
|
Remove one distribution from the system.
|
|
|
|
.. FIXME this is the only function using "project" instead of dist/release
|
|
|
|
..
|
|
Example usage
