Status of uci.py?

[i-tub]

While browsing through the repository, I was surprised not to find chess/uci.py, so I looked at the history, and found it was removed around v0.26.0. I'm not objecting to that, but what seemed strange to me was that I have installed 0.27.3 (using pip), and it still has that file! So has it been truly removed, or not? The commit tagged v0.27.3 does not have the file.

I suppose I need to update my script to use the new API anyway...

The latest version does not have uci.py. Instead, it has engine.py which contains uci and xboard.

Yep, that's correct.

To be sure I just confirmed that the recent archives published on PyPI do not contain uci.py. It's wierd that pip left the old file lying around.

Interesting, I just went to https://pypi.org/project/python-chess/#files and downloaded both files. The tarball doesn't have uci.py, but the wheel does:

[niklasf]

Aha! Thanks, that's a good hint. Will check my build script. Maybe it's my responsibility to clean/delete the target directory before running setup.py and publishing?

[niklasf]

So indeed it is recommended to

$ rm -rf build
$ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

until pypa/wheel#147 is fixed.

Future wheels should not have this issue and won't contain uci.py or a couple of other stale files. I'll also mention it in the changelog.

Thanks! I'm glad the mystery is solved.
