pex 2.16.2
2.16.2
This release brings a slew of small fixes across the code base.
When creating locks for foreign platforms,
pex3 lock {create,update,sync} now allows locking sdists that use
PEP-517 build backends that do not support the
prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel hook and whose product is a wheel not
compatible with the foreign platform. This is decidedly a corner case,
but one encountered with the mesonpy build backend which seems to have
traction in the scientific computing world in particular.
The recent re-vamp of the PEX REPL is now fixed to respect common
conventions for controlling terminal output via the NO_COLOR,
FORCE_COLOR and TERM environment variables.
The examples in the buildingpex docs had bit-rotted. They have
been refreshed and now all work.
Finally, both the Pex CLI and PEX files support the ambient OS standards
for user cache directories. Instead of using ~/.pex as the default
PEX_ROOT cache location, the default is now ~/.cache/pex on Linux (
but respecting XDG_CACHE_HOME when set) and ~/Library/Caches/pex on
Mac.
