Finding and choosing files (``index.py`` and ``PackageFinder``) | ||
--------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
The ``index.py`` module is a top-level module in pip responsible for deciding | ||
what file to download and from where, given a requirement for a project. The | ||
module's functionality is largely exposed through and coordinated by the | ||
module's ``PackageFinder`` class. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. _index-py-overview: | ||
|
||
Overview | ||
******** | ||
|
||
Here is a rough description of the process that pip uses to choose what | ||
file to download for a package, given a requirement: | ||
|
||
1. Access the various network and file system locations configured for pip | ||
that contain package files. These locations can include, for example, | ||
pip's :ref:`--index-url <--index-url>` (with default | ||
https://pypi.org/simple/ ) and any configured | ||
:ref:`--extra-index-url <--extra-index-url>` locations. | ||
Each of these locations is a `PEP 503`_ "simple repository" page, which | ||
is an HTML page of anchor links. | ||
2. Collect together all of the links (e.g. by parsing the anchor links | ||
from the HTML pages) and create ``Link`` objects from each of these. | ||
3. Determine which of the links are minimally relevant, using the | ||
:ref:`LinkEvaluator <link-evaluator-class>` class. Create an | ||
``InstallationCandidate`` object (aka candidate for install) for each | ||
of these relevant links. | ||
4. Further filter the collection of ``InstallationCandidate`` objects (using | ||
the :ref:`CandidateEvaluator <candidate-evaluator-class>` class) to a | ||
collection of "applicable" candidates. | ||
5. If there are applicable candidates, choose the best candidate by sorting | ||
them (again using the :ref:`CandidateEvaluator | ||
<candidate-evaluator-class>` class). | ||
|
||
The remainder of this section is organized by documenting some of the | ||
classes inside ``index.py``, in the following order: | ||
|
||
* the main :ref:`PackageFinder <package-finder-class>` class, | ||
* the :ref:`LinkEvaluator <link-evaluator-class>` class, | ||
* the :ref:`CandidateEvaluator <candidate-evaluator-class>` class, | ||
* the :ref:`CandidatePreferences <candidate-preferences-class>` class, and | ||
* the :ref:`BestCandidateResult <best-candidate-result-class>` class. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. _package-finder-class: | ||
|
||
The ``PackageFinder`` class | ||
*************************** | ||
|
||
The ``PackageFinder`` class is the primary way through which code in pip | ||
interacts with ``index.py``. It is an umbrella class that encapsulates and | ||
groups together various package-finding functionality. | ||
|
||
The ``PackageFinder`` class is responsible for searching the network and file | ||
system for what versions of a package pip can install, and also for deciding | ||
which version is most preferred, given the user's preferences, target Python | ||
environment, etc. | ||
|
||
The pip commands that use the ``PackageFinder`` class are: | ||
|
||
* :ref:`pip download` | ||
* :ref:`pip install` | ||
* :ref:`pip list` | ||
* :ref:`pip wheel` | ||
|
||
The pip commands requiring use of the ``PackageFinder`` class generally | ||
instantiate ``PackageFinder`` only once for the whole pip invocation. In | ||
fact, pip creates this ``PackageFinder`` instance when command options | ||
are first parsed. | ||
|
||
With the excepton of :ref:`pip list`, each of the above commands is | ||
implemented as a ``Command`` class inheriting from ``RequirementCommand`` | ||
(for example :ref:`pip download` is implemented by ``DownloadCommand``), and | ||
the ``PackageFinder`` instance is created by calling the | ||
``RequirementCommand`` class's ``_build_package_finder()`` method. ``pip | ||
list``, on the other hand, constructs its ``PackageFinder`` instance by | ||
calling the ``ListCommand`` class's ``_build_package_finder()``. (This | ||
difference may simply be historical and may not actually be necessary.) | ||
|
||
Each of these commands also uses the ``PackageFinder`` class for pip's | ||
"self-check," (i.e. to check whether a pip upgrade is available). In this | ||
case, the ``PackageFinder`` instance is created by the ``outdated.py`` | ||
module's ``pip_version_check()`` function. | ||
|
||
The ``PackageFinder`` class is responsible for doing all of the things listed | ||
in the :ref:`Overview <index-py-overview>` section like fetching and parsing | ||
`PEP 503`_ simple repository HTML pages, evaluating which links in the simple | ||
repository pages are relevant for each requirement, and further filtering and | ||
sorting by preference the candidates for install coming from the relevant | ||
links. | ||
|
||
One of ``PackageFinder``'s main top-level methods is | ||
``find_best_candidate()``. This method does the following two things: | ||
|
||
1. Calls its ``find_all_candidates()`` method, which reads and parses all the | ||
index URL's provided by the user, constructs a :ref:`LinkEvaluator | ||
<link-evaluator-class>` object to filter out some of those links, and then | ||
returns a list of ``InstallationCandidates`` (aka candidates for install). | ||
This corresponds to steps 1-3 of the :ref:`Overview <index-py-overview>` | ||
above. | ||
2. Constructs a ``CandidateEvaluator`` object and uses that to determine | ||
the best candidate. It does this by calling the ``CandidateEvaluator`` | ||
class's ``compute_best_candidate()`` method on the return value of | ||
``find_all_candidates()``. This corresponds to steps 4-5 of the Overview. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. _link-evaluator-class: | ||
|
||
The ``LinkEvaluator`` class | ||
*************************** | ||
|
||
The ``LinkEvaluator`` class contains the business logic for determining | ||
whether a link (e.g. in a simple repository page) satisfies minimal | ||
conditions to be a candidate for install (resulting in an | ||
``InstallationCandidate`` object). When making this determination, the | ||
``LinkEvaluator`` instance uses information like the target Python | ||
interpreter as well as user preferences like whether binary files are | ||
allowed or preferred, etc. | ||
|
||
Specifically, the ``LinkEvaluator`` class has an ``evaluate_link()`` method | ||
that returns whether a link is a candidate for install. | ||
|
||
Instances of this class are created by the ``PackageFinder`` class's | ||
``make_link_evaluator()`` on a per-requirement basis. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. _candidate-evaluator-class: | ||
|
||
The ``CandidateEvaluator`` class | ||
******************************** | ||
|
||
The ``CandidateEvaluator`` class contains the business logic for evaluating | ||
which ``InstallationCandidate`` objects should be preferred. This can be | ||
viewed as a determination that is finer-grained than that performed by the | ||
``LinkEvaluator`` class. | ||
|
||
In particular, the ``CandidateEvaluator`` class uses the whole set of | ||
``InstallationCandidate`` objects when making its determinations, as opposed | ||
to evaluating each candidate in isolation, as ``LinkEvaluator`` does. For | ||
example, whether a pre-release is eligible for selection or whether a file | ||
whose hash doesn't match is eligible depends on properties of the collection | ||
as a whole. | ||
|
||
The ``CandidateEvaluator`` class uses information like the list of `PEP 425`_ | ||
tags compatible with the target Python interpreter, hashes provided by the | ||
user, and other user preferences, etc. | ||
|
||
Specifically, the class has a ``get_applicable_candidates()`` method. | ||
This accepts the ``InstallationCandidate`` objects resulting from the links | ||
accepted by the ``LinkEvaluator`` class's ``evaluate_link()`` method, and | ||
it further filters them to a list of "applicable" candidates. | ||
|
||
The ``CandidateEvaluator`` class also has a ``sort_best_candidate()`` method | ||
that orders the applicable candidates by preference, and then returns the | ||
best (i.e. most preferred). | ||
|
||
Finally, the class has a ``compute_best_candidate()`` method that calls | ||
``get_applicable_candidates()`` followed by ``sort_best_candidate()``, and | ||
then returning a :ref:`BestCandidateResult <best-candidate-result-class>` | ||
object encapsulating both the intermediate and final results of the decision. | ||
|
||
Instances of ``CandidateEvaluator`` are created by the ``PackageFinder`` | ||
class's ``make_candidate_evaluator()`` method on a per-requirement basis. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. _candidate-preferences-class: | ||
|
||
The ``CandidatePreferences`` class | ||
********************************** | ||
|
||
The ``CandidatePreferences`` class is a simple container class that groups | ||
together some of the user preferences that ``PackageFinder`` uses to | ||
construct ``CandidateEvaluator`` objects (via the ``PackageFinder`` class's | ||
``make_candidate_evaluator()`` method). | ||
|
||
A ``PackageFinder`` instance has a ``_candidate_prefs`` attribute whose value | ||
is a ``CandidatePreferences`` instance. Since ``PackageFinder`` has a number | ||
of responsibilities and options that control its behavior, grouping the | ||
preferences specific to ``CandidateEvaluator`` helps maintainers know which | ||
attributes are needed only for ``CandidateEvaluator``. | ||
|
||
|
||
.. _best-candidate-result-class: | ||
|
||
The ``BestCandidateResult`` class | ||
********************************* | ||
|
||
The ``BestCandidateResult`` class is a convenience "container" class that | ||
encapsulates the result of finding the best candidate for a requirement. | ||
(By "container" we mean an object that simply contains data and has no | ||
business logic or state-changing methods of its own.) | ||
|
||
The class is the return type of both the ``CandidateEvaluator`` class's | ||
``compute_best_candidate()`` method and the ``PackageFinder`` class's | ||
``find_best_candidate()`` method. | ||
