Release Notes

2.1.125

This release makes --platform and --complete-platform resolves and locks as permissive as possible. If such a resolve or lock only has an sdist available for a certain project, that sdist will now be used if it builds to a wheel compatible with the specified foreign platform(s).

• Attempt "cross-builds" of sdists for foreign platforms. (#2075) PR #2075

2.1.124

This release adds support for specifying --non-hermetic-venv-scripts when building a --venv PEX. This can be useful when integrating with frameworks that do setup via PYTHONPATH manipulation.

Support for Pip 23.0.1 and setuptools 67.4.0 is added via --pip-version 23.0.1.

Additionally, more work towards hardening Pex against rare concurrency issues in its atomic directory handling is included.

• Introduce --non-hermetic-venv-scripts. (#2068) PR #2068
• Wrap inter-process locks in in-process locks. (#2070) PR #2070
• Add support for Pip 23.0.1. (#2072) PR #2072

2.1.123

This release fixes a few pex3 lock create bugs.

There was a regression introduced in Pex 2.1.122 where projects that used a PEP-518 [build-system] requires but specified no corresponding build-backend would fail to lock.

There were also two long standing issues handling more exotic direct reference URL requirements. Source archives with names not following the standard Python sdist naming scheme of <project name>-<version>.{zip,tar.gz} would cause a lock error. An important class of these is provided by GitHub's magic source archive download URLs. Also, although local projects addressed with Pip proprietary support for pure local path requirements would lock, the same local projects addressed via <project name> @ file://<local project path> would also cause a lock error. Both of these cases are now fixed and can be locked successfully.

When locking with an --interpreter-constraint, any resolve traversing wheels using the pypyXY or cpythonXY python tags would cause the lock to error. Wheels with this form of python tag are now handled correctly.

• Handle [build-system] with no build-backend. (#2064) PR #2064
• Handle locking all direct reference URL forms. (#2060) PR #2060
• Fix python tag handling in IC locks. (#2061) PR #2061

2.1.122

This release fixes posix file locks used by Pex internally and enhances lock creation to support locking sdist-only C extension projects that do not build on the current platform. Pex is also updated to support --pip-version 22.3.1 and --pip-version 23.0, bringing it up to date with the latest Pip's available.

• Support the latest Pip releases: 22.3.1 & 23.0 (#2056) PR #2056
• Lock sdists with prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel. (#2053) PR #2053
• Fix execute_parallel "leaking" a thread. (#2052) PR #2052

2.1.121

This release fixes two bugs brought to light trying to interoperate with Poetry projects.

• Support space separated markers in URL reqs. (#2039) PR #2039
• Handle file:// URL deps in distributions. (#2041) PR #2041

2.1.120

This release completes the --complete-platform fix started in Pex 2.1.116 by #1991. That fix did not work in all cases but now does.

PEXes run in interpreter mode now support command history when the underlying interpreter being used to run the PEX does; use the PEX_INTERPRETER_HISTORY bool env var to turn this on.

Additionally, PEXes built with the combination --layout loose --venv --no-venv-site-packages-copies are fixed to be robust to moves of the source loose PEX directory.

• Fix loose --venv PEXes to be robust to moves. (#2033) PR #2033
• Fix interpreter resolution when using --complete-platform with --resolve-local-platforms (#2031) PR #2031
• Support REPL command history. (#2018) PR #2018

2.1.119

This release brings two new features. The venv pex tool now just warns when using --compile and there is a *.pyc compile error instead of failing to create the venv. Also, a new PEX_DISABLE_VARIABLES env var knob is added to turn off reading all PEX_* env vars from the environment.

• Ignore compile error for PEX_TOOLS=1 (#2002) PR #2002
• Add PEX_DISABLE_VARIABLES to lock down a PEX run. (#2014) PR #2014

2.1.118

This is a very tardy hotfix release for a regression introduced in Pex 2.1.91 by #1785 that replaced sys.argv[0] with its fully resolved path. This prevented introspecting the actual file path used to launch the PEX which broke BusyBox-alike use cases.

There is also a new --non-hermetic-scripts option accepted by the venv tool to allow running console scripts with PYTHONPATH adjustments to the sys.path.

• Remove un-needed realpathing of sys.argv[0]. (#2007) PR #2007
• Add --non-hermetic-scripts option to venv tool. (#2010) PR #2010

2.1.117

This release fixes a bug introduced in Pex 2.1.109 where the released Pex PEX could not be executed by PyPy interpreters. More generally, any PEX created with interpreter constraints that did not specify the Python implementation, e.g.: ==3.8.*, were interpreted as being CPython specific, i.e.: CPython==3.8.*. This is now fixed, but if the intention of a constraint like ==3.8.* was in fact to restrict to CPython only, interpreter constraints need to say so now and use CPython==3.8.* explicitly.

• Fix interpreter constraint parsing. (#1998) PR #1998

2.1.116

This release fixes a bug in --resolve-local-platforms when --complete-platform was used.

• Check for --complete-platforms match when --resolve-local-platforms (#1991) PR #1991

2.1.115

This release brings some attention to the pex3 lock export subcommand to make it more useful when inter-operating with pip-tools.

• Sort requirements based on normalized project name when exporting (#1992) PR #1992
• Use raw version when exporting (#1990) PR #1990

2.1.114

This release brings two fixes for --venv mode PEXes.

• Only insert "" to head of sys.path if a venv PEX runs in interpreter mode (#1984) PR #1984
• Map pex python path interpreter to realpath when creating venv dir hash. (#1972) PR #1972

2.1.113

This is a hotfix release that fixes errors installing wheels when there is high parallelism in execution of Pex processes. These issues were a regression introduced by #1961 included in the 2.1.112 release.

• Restore AtomicDirectory non-locked good behavior. (#1974) PR #1974

2.1.112

This release brings support for the latest Pip release and includes some internal changes to help debug intermittent issues some users are seeing that implicate what may be file locking related bugs.

• Add support for --pip-version 22.3. (#1953) PR #1953

2.1.111

This release fixes resolving requirements from a lock using arbitrary equality (===).

In addition, you can now "inject" runtime environment variables and arguments into PEX files such that, when run, the PEX runtime ensures those environment variables and command line arguments are passed to the PEXed application. See PEX Recipes for more information.

• Fix lock resolution to handle arbitrary equality. (#1951) PR #1951
• Support injecting args and env vars in a PEX. (#1948) PR #1948

2.1.110

This release fixes Pex runtime sys.path scrubbing for cases where Pex is not the main entry point. An important example of this is in Lambdex where the AWS Lambda Python runtime packages (boto3 and botocore) are leaked into the PEX runtime sys.path.

• Fix sys.path scrubbing. (#1946) PR #1946

2.1.109

This release brings musllinux wheel support and a fix for a regression introduced in Pex 2.1.105 by #1902 that caused PEX_PATH= (an exported PEX_PATH with an empty string value) to raise an error in almost all use cases.

• Vendor latest packaging; support musllinux wheels. (#1937) PR #1937
• Don't treat PEX_PATH= as . like other PATHS. (#1938) PR #1938

2.1.108

This release fixes a latent PEX boot performance bug triggered by requirements with large extras sets.

• Fix slow PEX boot time when there are many extras. (#1929) PR #1929

2.1.107

This release fixes an issue handling credentials in git+ssh VCS urls when creating locks.

• Fix locks for git+ssh with credentials. (#1923) PR #1923

2.1.106

This release fixes a long standing bug in handling direct reference requirements with a local version component.

• Unquote path component of parsed url requirements (#1920) PR #1920

2.1.105

This is a fix release which addresses issues related to build time work_dir creation, virtualenv, and sh_boot support.

In the unlikely event of a UUID collision in atomic workdir creation, pex could overwrite an existing directory and cause a corrupt state. When building a shell bootable --sh-boot pex the --runtime-pex-root was not always respected based on the condition of the build environment, and the value of the PEX_ROOT.

• Fail on atomic_directory work_dir collision. (#1905) PR #1905
• Use raw_pex_root when constructing sh_boot pexes. (#1906) PR #1906
• Add support for offline downloads (#1898) PR #1898

2.1.104

This release brings a long-awaited upgrade of the Pip Pex uses, but behind a --pip-version 22.2.2 flag you must opt in to. Pex will then use that version of Pip if it can (your Pex operations target Python >=3.7) and warn and fall back to the older vendored Pip (20.3.4) if it can't. To turn the need to fallback to older Pip from a warning into a hard error you can also specify --no-allow-pip-version-fallback.

The pex3 lock update command now gains the ability to update just the index and find links repos the lock's artifacts originate from by using a combination of --no-pypi, --index & --find-links along with --pin to ensure the project versions stay pinned as they are in the lockfile and just the repos they are downloaded from is altered. Consult the CLI --help for --fingerprint-mismatch {ignore,warn,error} to gain more control over repo migration behavior.

There are several bug fixes as well dealing with somewhat esoteric corner cases involving changing a PEX --layout from one form to another and building artifacts using certain interpreters on macOS 11.0 (aka: 10.16).

• Add support for Pip 22.2.2. (#1893) PR #1893
• Make lock update sensitive to artifacts. (#1887) PR #1887
• Ensure locally built wheel is consumable locally. (#1886) PR #1886
• Ensure --output always overwrites destination. (#1883) PR #1883

2.1.103

This release fixes things such that pex lockfiles can be created and updated using the Pex PEX when local projects are involved.

• Fix pex3 lock ... when run from the Pex PEX. (#1874) PR #1874

2.1.102

This is a hotfix release that fixes a further corner missed by #1863 in the Pex 2.1.101 release whereby Pex would fail to install platform-specific packages on Red Hat based OSes.

In addition, an old but only newly discovered bug in --inherit-path={prefer,fallback} handling is fixed. Previously only using PEX_INHERIT_PATH={prefer,fallback} at runtime worked properly.

In the process of fixing the old --inherit-path={prefer,fallback} bug, also fix another old bug handling modern virtualenv venvs under Python 2.7 during zipapp execution mode PEX boots.

• Fix wheel installs: account for purelib & platlib. (#1867) PR #1867
• Fix --inhert-path handling. (#1871) PR #1871
• Error using pex + virtualenv >=20.0.0 + python 2.7 (#992) Issue #992 PR #1871

2.1.101

This release fixes a corner-case revealed by python-certifi-win32 1.6.1 that was not previously handled when installing certain distributions.

• Make wheel install site-packages detection robust. (#1863) PR #1863

2.1.100

This release fixes a hole in the lock creation --target-system feature added in #1823 in Pex 2.1.95.

• Fix lock creation --target-system handling. (#1858) PR #1858

2.1.99

This release fixes a concurrency bug in the pex --lock ... artifact downloading.

• Fix pex --lock ... concurrent download errors. (#1854) PR #1854

2.1.98

This releases fixes regressions in foreign --platform handling and artifact downloading introduced by #1787 in Pex 2.1.91 and #1811 in 2.1.93.

In addition, PEXes can now be used as sys.path entries. Once on the sys.path, via PYTHONPATH or other means, the code in the PEX can be made importable by first importing __pex__ either as its own stand-alone import statement; e.g.: import __pex__; import psutil or as a prefix of the code to import from the PEX; e.g.: from __pex__ import psutil.

• Tags should be patched for --platform. (#1846) PR #1846
• Add support for importing from PEXes. (#1845) PR #1845
• Fix artifact downloads for foreign platforms. #1851 PR #1851

2.1.97

This release patches a hole left by #1828 in the Pex 2.1.95 release whereby, although you could run a PEX under a too-long PEX_ROOT you could not build a PEX under a tool-long PEX_ROOT.

• Avoid ENOEXEC for Pex internal --venvs. (#1843) PR #1843

2.1.96

This is a hotfix release that fixes --venv mode PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH propogation introduced in Pex 2.1.95 to only apply to sys.executable and not other Pythons.

• Fix --venv PEX PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH propagation. (#1837) PR #1837

2.1.95

This release brings two new pex3 lock features for --style universal locks.

By default, universal locks are created to target all operating systems. This can cause problems when you only target a subset of operating systems and a lock transitive dependency that is conditional on an OS you do not target is not lockable. The new --target-system {linux,mac,windows} option allows you to restrict the set of targeted OSes to work around this sort of issue. Since PEX files currently only support running on Linux and Mac, specifying --target-system linux --target-system mac is a safe way to pre-emptively avoid these sorts of locking issues when creating a universal lock.

Previously you could not specify the --platforms or --complete-platforms you would be using later to build PEXes with when creating a universal lock. You now can, and Pex will verify the universal lock can support all the specified platforms.

As is usual there are also several bug fixes including properly propagating PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH additions to forked Python processes, fixing pex3 lock export to only attempt to export for the selected target and avoiding too long shebang errors for --venv mode PEXes in a robust way.

• Fix PEX_EXTRA_SYS_PATH propagation. (#1832) PR #1832
• Fix pex3 lock export: re-use --lock resolver. (#1831) PR #1831
• Avoid ENOEXEC for --venv shebangs. (#1828) PR #1828
• Check lock can resolve platforms at creation time. (#1824) PR #1824
• Support restricting universal lock target os. (#1823) PR #1823

2.1.94

This is a hotfix release that fixes a regression introduced in Pex 2.1.93 downloading certain sdists when using pex --lock ....

• Fix pex --lock ... handling of sdists. (#1818) PR #1818

2.1.93

This release brings several new features in addition to bug fixes.

When creating a PEX the entry point can now be any local python script by passing --exe path/to/python-script.

The pex3 lock update command now supports a -dry-dun check mode that exits non-zero to indicate that a lock needs updating and the -p / --project targeted update arguments can now be new projects to attempt to add to the lock.

On the bug fix front, traditional zipapp mode PEX files now properly scrub sys.displayhook and sys.excepthook and their teardown sequence has now been simplified fixing logging to stderr late in teardown.

Finally, pex3 lock create now logs when requirement resolution is taking a long time to provide some sense of progress and suggest generic remedies and pex --lock now properly handles authentication.

• Support adding new requirements in a lock update. (#1797) PR #1797
• Add pex3 lock update --dry-run check mode. (#1799) PR #1799
• Universal locks no longer record a platform_tag. (#1800) PR #1800
• Support python script file executable. (#1807) PR #1807
• Fix PEX scrubbing to account for sys.excepthook. (#1810) PR #1810
• Simplify PEX teardown / leave stderr in tact. (#1813) PR #1813
• Surface pip download logging. (#1808) PR #1808
• Use pip download instead or URLFetcher. (#1811) PR #1811

2.1.92

This release adds support for locking local projects.

• Add support for local project locking. #1792 PR #1792

2.1.91

This release fixes --sh-boot mode PEXes to have an argv0 and exported PEX environment variable consistent with standard Python boot PEXes; namely the absolute path of the originally invoked PEX.

• Fix --sh-boot argv0. (#1785) PR #1785

2.1.90

This release fixes Pex handling of sdists to be atomic and also fixes lock files to be emitted ending with a newline. In addition, many typos in Pex documentation were fixed in a contribution by Kian-Meng Ang.

• Ensure Pip cache operations are atomic. (#1778) PR #1778
• Ensure that lockfiles end in newlines. (#1774) PR #1770
• Fix typos (#1773) PR #1773

2.1.89

This release brings official support for CPython 3.11 and PyPy 3.9 as well as long needed robust runtime interpreter selection.

• Select PEX runtime interpreter robustly. (#1770) PR #1770
• Upgrade PyPy checking to latest. (#1767) PR #1767
• Add 3.11 support. (#1766) PR #1766

2.1.88

This release is a hotfix for 2.1.86 that handles unparseable ~/.netrc files gracefully.

• Just warn when ~/.netrc can't be loaded. (#1763) PR #1763

2.1.87

This release fixes pex3 lock create to handle relative --tmpdir.

• Fix lock save detection to be more robust. (#1760) PR #1760

2.1.86

This release fixes an oversight in lock file use against secured custom indexes and find links repos. Previously credentials were passed during the lock creation process via either ~/.netrc or via embedded credentials in the custom indexes and find links URLs Pex was configured with. But, at lock use time, these credentials were not used. Now ~/.netrc entries are always used and embedded credentials passed via custom URLS at lock creation time can be passed in the same manner at lock use time.

• Support credentials in URLFetcher. (#1754) PR #1754

2.1.85

This PyCon US 2022 release brings full support for Python interpreter emulation when a PEX is run in interpreter mode (without an entry point or else when forced via PEX_INTERPRETER=1).

A special thank you to Loren Arthur for contributing the fix in the Pantsbuild sprint at PyCon.

• PEX interpreters should support all underlying Python interpreter options. (#1745) Issue #1745 PR #1746 PR #1748

2.1.84

This release fixes a bug creating a PEX from a --lock when pre-release versions are involved.

• Fix --lock handling of pre-release versions. (#1742) PR #1742

2.1.83

This releases fixes a bug creating --style universal locks with --interpreter-constraint configured when the ambient interpreter does not match the constraints and the resolved lock includes sdist primary artifacts.

• Fix universal lock creation for ICs. (#1738) PR #1738

2.1.82

This is a hotfix release for a regression in prerelease version handling introduced in the 2.1.81 release by #1727.

• Fix prerelease handling when checking resolves. (#1732) PR #1732

2.1.81

This release brings a fix to Pex resolve checking for distributions built by setuptools whose Requires-Dist metadata does not match a distibutions project name exactly (i.e.: no PEP-503 [._-] normalization was performed).

• Fix Pex resolve checking. (#1727) PR #1727

2.1.80

This release brings another fix for pathologically slow cases of lock creation as well as a new --sh-boot feature for creating PEXes that boot via /bin/sh for more resilience across systems with differing Python installations as well as offering lower boot latency.

• Support booting via /bin/sh with --sh-boot. (#1721) PR #1721
• Fix more pathologic lock creation slowness. (#1723) PR #1723

2.1.79

This release fixes --lock resolving for certain cases where extras are involved as well as introducing support for generating and consuming portable --find-links locks using -path-mapping.

• Fix --lock resolver extras handling. (#1719) PR #1719
• Support canonicalizing absolute paths in locks. (#1716) PR #1712

2.1.78

This release fixes missing artifacts in non-strict locks.

• Don't clear lock link database during analysis. (#1712) PR #1712

2.1.77

This release fixes pathologically slow cases of lock creation as well as introducing support for --no-compression to allow picking the the time-space tradeoff you want for your PEX zips.

• Fix pathologic lock creation slowness. (#1707) PR #1707
• Support uncompressed PEXes. (#1705) PR #1705

2.1.76

This release finalizes spurious deadlock handling in --lock resolves worked around in #1694 in Pex 2.1.75.

• Fix lock_resolver to use BSD file locks. (#1702) PR #1702

2.1.75

This release fixes a deadlock when building PEXes in parallel via the new --lock flag.

• Avoid deadlock error when run in parallel. (#1694) PR #1694

2.1.74

This release fixes multiplatform --lock resolves for sdists that are built to multiple platform specific wheels and it also introduces support for VCS requirements in locks.

• Add support for locking VCS requirements. (#1687) PR #1684
• Fix --lock for multiplatform via sdists. (#1689) PR #1684

2.1.73

This is a hotfix for various PEX issues:

1. --requirements-pex handling was broken by #1661 in the 2.1.71 release and is now fixed.
2. Creating universal locks now works using any interpreter when the resolver version is the pip-2020-resolver.
3. Building PEXes with --lock resolves that contain wheels with build tags in their names now works.

• Fix --requirements-pex. (#1684) PR #1684
• Fix universal locks for the pip-2020-resolver. (#1682) PR #1682
• Fix --lock resolve wheel tag parsing. (#1678) PR #1678

2.1.72

This release fixes an old bug with --venv PEXes initially executed with either PEX_MODULE or PEX_SCRIPT active in the environment.

• Fix venv creation to ignore ambient PEX env vars. (#1669) PR #1669

2.1.71

This release fixes the instability introduced in 2.1.68 by switching to a more robust means of determining venv layouts. Along the way it upgrades Pex internals to cache all artifacts with strong hashes ( previously sha1 was used). It's strongly recommended to upgrade or use the exclude !=2.1.68,!=2.1.69,!=2.1.70 when depending on an open ended Pex version range.

• Switch Pex installed wheels to --prefix scheme. (#1661) PR #1661

2.1.70

This is another hotfix release for 2.1.68 that fixes a bug in *.data/* file handling for installed wheels which is outlined in PEP 427

• Handle *.data/* RECORD entries not existing. (#1644) PR #1644

2.1.69

This is a hotfix release for a regression introduced in 2.1.68 for a narrow class of --venv --no-venv-site-packages-copies mode PEXes with special contents on the PEX_PATH.

• Fix venv creation for duplicate symlinked dists. (#1639) PR #1639

2.1.68

This release brings a fix for installation of additional data files in PEX venvs (More on additional data files here) as well as a new venv install --scope that can be used to create fully optimized container images with PEXed applications (See how to use this feature here).

• Support splitting venv creation into deps & srcs. (#1634) PR #1634
• Fix handling of data files when creating venvs. (#1632) PR #1632

2.1.67

This release brings support for --platform arguments with a 3-component PYVER portion. This supports working around python_full_version environment marker evaluation failures for --platform resolves by changing, for example, a platform of linux_x86_64-cp-38-cp38 to linux_x86_64-cp-3.8.10-cp38. This is likely a simpler way to work around these issues than using the --complete-platform facility introduced in 2.1.66 by #1609.

• Expand --platform syntax: support full versions. (#1614) PR #1614

2.1.66

This release brings a new --complete-platform Pex CLI option that can be used instead of --platform when more detailed foreign platform specification is needed to satisfy a resolve (most commonly, when python_full_version environment markers are in-play). This, paired with the new pex3 interpreter inspect command that can be used to generate complete platform data on the foreign platform machine being targeted, should allow all foreign platform PEX builds to succeed exactly as they would if run on that foreign platform as long as pre-built wheels are available for that foreign platform.

Additionally, PEXes now know how to set a useable process name when the PEX contains the setproctitle distribution. See here for more information.

• Add support for --complete-platform. (#1609) PR #1609
• Introduce pex3 interpreter inspect. (#1607) PR #1607
• Use setproctitle to sanitize ps info. (#1605) PR #1605
• Respect PEX_ROOT in PEXEnvironment.mount. (#1599) PR #1599

2.1.65

This release really brings support for mac universal2 wheels. The fix provided by 2.1.64 was partial; universal2 wheels could be resolved at build time, but not at runtime.

• Upgrade vendored packaging to 20.9. (#1591) PR #1591

2.1.64

This release brings support for mac universal2 wheels.

• Update vendored Pip to 386a54f0. (#1589) PR #1589

2.1.63

This release fixes spurious collision warnings & errors when building venvs from PEXes that contain multiple distributions contributing to the same namespace package.

• Allow for duplicate files in venv population. (#1572) PR #1572

2.1.62

This release exposes three Pip options as Pex options to allow building PEXes for more of the Python distribution ecosystem:

1. --prefer-binary: To prefer older wheels to newer sdists in a resolve which can help avoid problematic builds.
2. --[no]-use-pep517: To control how sdists are built: always using PEP-517, always using setup.py or the default, always using whichever is appropriate.
3. --no-build-isolation: To allow distributions installed in the environment to be seen during builds of sdists. This allows working around distributions with undeclared build dependencies by pre-installing them in the environment before running Pex.

• Expose more Pip options. (#1561) PR #1561

2.1.61

This release fixes a regression in Pex --venv mode compatibility with distributions that are members of a namespace package that was introduced by #1532 in the 2.1.57 release.

• Merge packages for --venv-site-packages-copies. (#1557) PR #1557

2.1.60

This release fixes a bug that prevented creating PEXes when duplicate compatible requirements were specified using the pip-2020-resolver.

• Fix Pex to be duplicate requirement agnostic. (#1551) PR #1551

2.1.59

This release adds the boolean option --venv-site-packages-copies to control whether --venv execution mode PEXes create their venv with copies (hardlinks when possible) or symlinks. It also fixes a bug that prevented Python 3.10 interpreters from being discovered when --interpreter-constraint was used.

• Add knob for --venv site-packages symlinking. (#1543) PR #1543
• Fix Pex to identify Python 3.10 interpreters. (#1545) PR #1545

2.1.58

This release fixes a bug handling relative --cert paths.

• Always pass absolute cert path to Pip. (#1538) PR #1538

2.1.57

This release brings a few performance improvements and a new venv pex-tools --remove feature that is useful for creating optimized container images from PEX files.

• Do not re-hash installed wheels. (#1534) PR #1534
• Improve space efficiency of --venv mode. (#1532) PR #1532
• Add venv --remove {pex,all} option. (#1525) PR #1525

2.1.55

This release brings official support for Python 3.10 as well as fixing https://pex.readthedocs.io doc generation and fixing help for pex-tools / PEX_TOOLS=1 ./my.pex pex tools invocations that have too few arguments.

• Add official support for Python 3.10 (#1512) PR #1512
• Always register global options. (#1511) PR #1511

This release fixes a bug in --venv creation that could mask deeper errors populating PEX venvs.

• Fix --venv mode short link creation. (#1505) PR #1505

2.1.53

This release fixes a bug identifying certain interpreters on macOS Monterey.

Additionally, Pex has two new features:

1. It now exposes the PEX environment variable inside running PEXes to allow application code to both detect it's running from a PEX and determine where that PEX is located.
2. It now supports a --prompt option in the venv tool to allow for customization of the venv activation prompt.

• Guard against fake interpreters. (#1500) PR #1500
• Add support for setting custom venv prompts. (#1499) PR #1499
• Introduce the PEX env var. (#1495) PR #1495

2.1.52

This release makes a wider array of distributions resolvable for --platform resolves by inferring the platform_machine environment marker corresponding to the requested --platform.

• Populate platform_machine in --platform resolve. (#1489) PR #1489

2.1.51

This release fixes both PEX creation and --venv creation to handle distributions that contain scripts with non-ascii characters in them when running in environments with a default encoding that does not contain those characters under PyPy3, Python 3.5 and Python 3.6.

• Fix non-ascii script shebang re-writing. (#1480) PR #1480

2.1.50

This is another hotfix of the 2.1.48 release's --layout feature that fixes identification of --layout zipapp PEXes that have had their execute mode bit turned off. A notable example is the Pex PEX when downloaded from https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/releases.

• Fix zipapp layout identification. (#1448) PR #1448

2.1.49

This is a hotfix release that fixes the new --layout {zipapp,packed} modes for PEX files with no user code & just third party dependencies when executed against a $PEX_ROOT where similar PEXes built with the old --not-zip-safe option were were run in the past.

• Avoid re-using old ~/.pex/code/ caches. (#1444) PR #1444

2.1.48

This releases introduces the --layout flag for selecting amongst the traditional zipapp layout as a single PEX zip file and two new directory tree based formats that may be useful for more sophisticated deployment sceanrios.

The --unzip / PEX_UNZIP toggles for PEX runtime execution are now the default and deprecated as explicit options as a result. You can still select the venv runtime execution mode via the --venv / PEX_VENV toggles though.

• Remove zipapp execution mode & introduce --layout. (#1438) PR #1438

2.1.47

This is a hotfix release that fixes a regression for --venv mode PEXes introduced in #1410. These PEXes were not creating new venvs when the PEX was unconstrained and executed with any other interpreter than the interpreter the venv was first created with.

• Fix --venv mode venv dir hash. (#1428) PR #1428
• Clarify PEX_PYTHON & PEX_PYTHON_PATH interaction. (#1427) PR #1427

2.1.46

This release improves PEX file build reproducibility and requirement parsing of environment markers in Pip's proprietary URL format.

Also, the -c / --script / --console-script argument now supports non-Python distribution scripts.

• Fix --bdist-all handling multiple console_scripts (#1396) PR #1396

2.1.44

This is a hotfix release that fixes env var collisions (introduced in the Pex 2.1.43 release by PR #1367) that could occur when invoking Pex with environment variables like PEX_ROOT defined.

2.1.28

This is another hotfix release to fix incorrect resolve post-processing failing otherwise correct resolves.

• Pex resolver fails to evaluate markers when post-processing resolves to identify which dists satisfy direct requirements. (#1196) PR #1196 <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/pull/1196>_

2.1.27

This is another hotfix release to fix a regression in Pex --sources-directory handling of relative paths.

• Support relative paths in Chroot.symlink. (#1194) PR #1194 <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/pull/1194>_

2.1.26

This is a hotfix release that fixes requirement parsing when there is a local file in the CWD with the same name as the project name of a remote requirement to be resolved.

• Requirement parsing handles local non-dist files. (#1190) PR #1190

2.1.25

This release brings support for a --venv execution mode to complement --unzip and standard unadorned PEX zip file execution modes. The --venv execution mode will first install the PEX file into a virtual environment under ${PEX_ROOT}/venvs and then re-execute itself from there. This mode of execution allows you to ship your PEXed application as a single zipfile that automatically installs itself in a venv and runs from there to eliminate all PEX startup overhead on subsequent runs and work like a "normal" application.

There is also support for a new resolution mode when building PEX files that allows you to use the results of a previous resolve by specifying it as a -pex-repository to resolve from. If you have many applications sharing a requirements.txt / constraints.txt, this can drastically speed up resolves.

2.1.24

This release upgrades Pip to 20.3.3 + a patch to fix Pex resolves using the pip-legacy-resolver and --constraints. The Pex package is also fixed to install for Python 3.9.1+.

• Upgrade to a patched Pip 20.3.3. (#1143) Issue #9283 PR #1143
• Fix python requirement to include full 3.9 series. (#1142) PR #1142

2.1.23

This release upgrades Pex to the latest Pip which includes support for the new 2020-resolver (see: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#resolver-changes-2020) as well as support for macOS BigSur. Although this release defaults to the legacy resolver behavior, the next release will deprecate the legacy resolver and support for the legacy resolver will later be removed to allow continuing Pip upgrades going forward. To switch to the new resolver, use: --resolver-version pip-2020-resolver.

• Upgrade Pex to Pip 20.3.1. (#1133) PR #1133

2.1.22

This release fixes a deadlock that could be experienced when building PEX files in highly concurrent environments in addition to fixing pex --help-variables output.

A new suite of PEX tools is now available in Pex itself and any PEXes built with the new --include-tools option. Use PEX_TOOLS=1 pex --help to find out more about the available tools and their usage.

Finally, the long deprecated exposure of the Pex APIs through _pex has been removed. To use the Pex APIs you must include pex as a dependency in your PEX file.

2.1.19

This release adds the --python-path option, which allows controlling the interpreter search paths when building a PEX.

The release also removes --use-first-matching-interpreter, which was a misfeature. If you want to use fewer interpreters when building a PEX, use more precise values for --interpreter-constraint and/or --python-path, or use --python or --platform.

• Add --python-path to change interpreter search paths when building a PEX. (#1077) PR #1077
• Remove --use-first-matching-interpreter misfeature. (#1076) PR #1076
• Encapsulate --inherit-path handling. (#1072) PR #1072

2.1.18

This release brings official support for Python 3.9 and adds a new --tmpdir option to explicitly control the TMPDIR used by Pex and its subprocesses. The latter is useful when building PEXes in space-constrained environments in the face of large distributions.

The release also fixes --cert and --client-cert so that they work with PEP-518 builds in addition to fixing bytecode compilation races in highly parallel environments.

2.1.15

A patch release to fix an issue with the --use-first-matching-interpreter flag.

• Fix --use-first-matching-interpreter at runtime. (#1014) PR #1014

2.1.14

This release adds the --use-first-matching-interpreter flag, which can speed up performance when building a Pex at the expense of being compatible with fewer interpreters at runtime.

• Add --use-first-matching-interpreter. (#1008) PR #1008
• Autoformat with Black. (#1006) PR #1006

2.1.13

The focus of this release is better support of the --platform CLI arg. Platforms are now better documented and can optionally be resolved to local interpreters when possible via --resolve-local-platforms to better support creation of multiplatform PEXes.

• Add support for resolving --platform locally. (#1000) PR #1000

A patch release to fix a symlink issue in remote execution environments.

• use relative paths within wheel cache (#979) PR #979
• Fix Tox not finding Python 3.8 on OSX. (#976) PR #976

2.1.10

This release focuses on the resolver API and resolution performance. Pex 2 resolving using Pip is now at least at performance parity with Pex 1 in all studied cases and most often is 5% to 10% faster.

As part of the resolution performance work, Pip networking configuration is now exposed via Pex CLI options and the NetworkConfiguration API type / new resolver.resolve API parameter.

With network configuration now wired up, the PEX_HTTP_RETRIES and PEX_HTTP_TIMEOUT env var support in Pex 1 that was never wired into Pex 2 is now dropped in favor of passing --retries and --timeout via the CLI (See: Issue #94)

• Fix runtime resolve error message generation. (#955) PR #955
• Kill dead code. (#954) PR #954

2.1.9

This release introduces the ability to copy requirements from an existing PEX into a new one.

This can greatly speed up repeatedly creating a PEX when no requirements have changed. A build tool (such as Pants) can create a "requirements PEX" that contains just a static set of requirements, and build a final PEX on top of that, without having to re-run pip to resolve requirements.

• Support for copying requirements from an existing pex. (#948) PR #948

2.1.8

This release brings enhanced performance when using the Pex CLI or API to resolve requirements and improved performance for many PEXed applications when specifying the --unzip option. PEXes built with --unzip will first unzip themselves into the Pex cache if not unzipped there already and then re-execute themselves from there. This can improve startup latency. Pex itself now uses this mode in our [PEX release](https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/releases/download/v2.1.8/pex).

• Better support unzip mode PEXes. (#941) PR #941
• Support an unzip toggle for PEXes. (#939) PR #939
• Ensure the interpreter path is a file (#938) PR #938
• Cache pip.pex. (#937) PR #937

2.1.7

This release brings more robust control of the Pex cache (PEX_ROOT).

The --cache-dir setting is deprecated in favor of build time control of the cache location with --pex-root and new support for control of the cache's runtime location with --runtime-pex-root is added. As in the past, the PEX_ROOT environment variable can still be used to control the cache's runtime location.

Unlike in the past, the [Pex PEX](https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex/releases/download/v2.1.7/pex) we release can now also be controlled via the PEX_ROOT environment variable. Consult the CLI help for --no-strip-pex-env to find out more.

2.1.1

This release significantly improves performance and correctness of interpreter discovery, particularly when pyenv is involved. It also provides a workaround for EPERM issues when hard linking across devices, by falling back to copying. Resolve error checking also now accounts for environment markers.

2.1.0

This release restores and improves support for building and running multiplatform pexes. Foreign linux* platform builds now include manylinux2014 compatible wheels by default and foreign CPython pexes now resolve abi3 wheels correctly. In addition, error messages at both buildtime and runtime related to resolution of dependencies are more informative.

Pex 2.1.0 should be considered the first Pex 2-series release that fully replaces and improves upon Pex 1-series functionality.

2.0.3

This release fixes a regression in handling explicitly requested --index or --find-links http (insecure) repos. In addition, performance of the pex 2.x resolver is brought in line with the 1.x resolver in all cases and improved in most cases.

2.0.2

This is a hotfix release that fixes a bug exposed when Pex was asked to use an interpreter with a non-canonical path as well as fixes for 'current' platform handling in the resolver API.

• Fix current platform handling. (#801) PR #801

• Fix #794 issue by add missing return statement in __str__ (#795) PR #795

2.0.0

Pex 2.0.0 is cut on the advent of a large, mostly internal change for typical use cases: it now uses vendored pip to perform resolves and wheel builds. This fixes a large number of compatibility and correctness bugs as well as gaining feature support from pip including handling manylinux2010 and manylinux2014 as well as VCS requirements and support for PEP-517 & PEP-518 builds.

API changes to be wary of:

• The egg distribution format is no longer supported.
• The deprecated --interpreter-cache-dir CLI option was removed.
• The --cache-ttl CLI option and cache_ttl resolver API argument were removed.
• The resolver API replaced fetchers with a list of indexes and a list of find_links repos.
• The resolver API removed (http) context which is now automatically handled.
• The resolver API removed precedence which is now pip default precedence: wheels when available and not ruled out via the --no-wheel CLI option or use_wheel=False API argument.
• The --platform CLI option and platform resolver API argument now must be full platform strings that include platform, implementation, version and abi; e.g.: --platform=macosx-10.13-x86_64-cp-36-m.
• The --manylinux CLI option and use_manylinux resolver API argument were removed. Instead, to resolve manylinux wheels for a foreign platform, specify the manylinux platform to target with an explicit --platform CLI flag or platform resolver API argument; e.g.: --platform=manylinux2010-x86_64-cp-36-m.

In addition, Pex 2.0.0 now builds reproduceable pexes by default; ie:

• Python modules embedded in the pex are not pre-compiled (pass --compile if you want this).
• The timestamps for Pex file zip entries default to midnight on January 1, 1980 (pass --use-system-time to change this).

This finishes off the effort tracked by Issue #716

Changes in this release:

• Pex defaults to reproduceable builds. (#791) PR #791
• Use pip for resolving and building distributions. (#788) PR #788
• Bias selecting the current interpreter. (#783) PR #783

1.6.12

This release adds the --intransitive option to support pre-resolved requirements lists and allows for python binaries built under Gentoo naming conventions.

• Add an --intransitive option. (#775) PR #775
• PythonInterpreter: support python binary names with single letter suffixes (#769) PR #769

1.6.11

This release brings a consistency fix to requirement resolution and an isolation fix that scrubs all non-stdlib PYTHONPATH entries by default, only pre-pending or appending them to the sys.path if the corresponding --inherit-path=(prefer|fallback) is used.

• Avoid reordering of equivalent packages from multiple fetchers (#762) PR #762
• Include PYTHONPATH in --inherit-path logic. (#765) PR #765

1.6.10

This is a hotfix release for the bug detailed in #756 that was introduced by #752 in python 3.7 interpreters.

• Guard against modules with a __file__ of None. (#757) Issue #756 PR #757

1.6.9

• Fix sys.path scrubbing of pex extras modules. (#752) PR #752

1.6.7

We now support reproducible builds when creating a pex via pex -o foo.pex, meaning that if you were to run the command again with the same inputs, the two generated pexes would be byte-for-byte identical. To enable reproducible builds when building a pex, use the flags --no-use-system-time --no-compile, which will use a deterministic timestamp and not include .pyc files in the Pex.

In Pex 1.7.0, we will default to reproducible builds.

1.6.3

This release changes the behavior of the --interpreter-constraint option. Previously, interpreter constraints were ANDed, which made it impossible to express constraints like '>=2.7,<3' OR '>=3.6,<4'; ie: either python 2.7 or else any python 3 release at or above 3.6. Now interpreter constraints are ORed, which is likely a breaking change if you have scripts that pass multiple interpreter constraints. To transition, use the native , AND operator in your constraint expression, as used in the example above.

• Bug fix: PEX_PROFILE_FILENAME and PEX_PROFILE_SORT were not respected. #154.
• Adds the bdist_pex command to setuptools. #99.
• Bug fix: We did not normalize package names in ResolvableSet, so it was possible to depend on sphinx and Sphinx-1.4a0.tar.gz and get two versions build and included into the pex. #147.
• Adds a pex-identifying User-Agent. #101.

1.0.3

• Bug fix: Accommodate OSX Python python binaries. Previously the OSX python distributions shipped with OSX, XCode and available via https://www.python.org/downloads/ could fail to be detected using the PythonInterpreter class. Fixes #144.

1.0.2

• Bug fix: PEX-INFO values were overridden by environment Variables with default values that were not explicitly set in the environment. Fixes #135.
• Bug fix: Since 69649c1 we have been unpatching the side-effects of sys.modules after PEX.execute. This takes all modules imported during the PEX lifecycle and sets all their attributes to None. Unfortunately, sys.excepthook, atexit and __del__ may still try to operate using these tainted modules, causing exceptions on interpreter teardown. This reverts just the sys unpatching so that the abovementioned teardown hooks behave more predictably. Fixes #141.

1.0.1

• Allow PEXBuilder to optionally copy files into the PEX environment instead of hard-linking them.
• Allow PEXBuilder to optionally skip precompilation of .py files into .pyc files.
• Bug fix: PEXBuilder did not respect the target interpreter when compiling source to bytecode. Fixes #127.
• Bug fix: Fix complex resolutions when using a cache. Fixes: #120.

1.0.0

The 1.0.0 release of pex introduces a few breaking changes: pex -r now takes requirements.txt files instead of requirement specs, pex -s has now been removed since source specs are accepted as arguments, and pex -p has been removed in favor of its alias pex -o.

The pex command line interface now adheres to semver insofar as backwards incompatible CLI changes will invoke a major version change. Any backwards incompatible changes to the PEX environment variable semantics will also result in a major version change. The pex API adheres to semver insofar as backwards incompatible API changes will invoke minor version changes.

For users of the PEX API, it is recommended to add minor version ranges, e.g. pex>=1.0,<1.1. For users of the PEX CLI, major version ranges such as pex>=1,<2 should be sufficient.

• BREAKING CHANGE: Removes the -s option in favor of specifying directories directly as arguments to the pex command line.
• BREAKING CHANGE: pex -r now takes requirements.txt filenames and not requirement specs. Requirement specs are now passed as arguments to the pex tool. Use -- to escape command line arguments passed to interpreters spawned by pex. Implements #5.
• Adds a number of flag aliases to be more compatible with pip command lines: --no-index, -f, --find-links, --index-url, --no-use-wheel. Removes -p in favor of -o exclusively.
• Adds --python-shebang option to the pex tool in order to set the #! shebang to an exact path. #53.
• Adds support for PEX_PYTHON environment variable which will cause the pex file to reinvoke itself using the interpreter specified, e.g. PEX_PYTHON=python3.4 or PEX_PYTHON=/exact/path/to/interpreter. #27.
• Adds support for PEX_PATH environment variable which allows merging of PEX environments at runtime. This can be used to inject plugins or entry_points or modules from one PEX into another without explicitly building them together. #30.
• Consolidates documentation of PEX_ environment variables and adds the --help-variables option to the pex client. Partially addresses #13.
• Adds helper method to dump a package subdirectory onto disk from within a zipped PEX file. This can be useful for applications that know they're running within a PEX and would prefer some static assets dumped to disk instead of running as an unzipped PEX file. #12.
• Now supports extras for static URLs and installable directories. #65.
• Adds -m and --entry-point alias to the existing -e option for entry points in the pex tool to evoke the similarity to python -m.
• Adds console script support via -c/--script/--console-script and PEX_SCRIPT. This allows you to reference the named entry point instead of the exact module:name pair. Also supports scripts defined in the scripts section of setup.py. #59.
• Adds more debugging information when encountering unresolvable requirements. #79.
• Bug fix: PEX_COVERAGE and PEX_PROFILE did not function correctly when SystemExit was raised. Fixes #81.
• Bug fix: Fixes caching in the PEX tool since we don't cache the source distributions of installable directories. #24.

0.9.0

This is the last release before the 1.0.0 development branch is started.

• Change the setuptools range to >=2.2,<16 by handling EntryPoint changes as well as being flexible on whether pkg_resources is a package or a module. Fixes #55 and #34.
• Adds option groups to the pex tool to make the help output slightly more readable.
• Bug fix: Make pip install pex work better by removing extras_requires on the console_script entry point. Fixes #48
• New feature: Adds an interpreter cache to the pex tool. If the user does not explicitly disable the wheel feature and attempts to build a pex with wheels but does not have the wheel package installed, pex will download it in order to make the feature work. Implements #47 in order to fix #48

0.8.6

• Bug fix: Honor installed sys.excepthook in pex teardown. RB #1733
• Bug fix: UrllibContext used replace as a keyword argument for bytes.decode but this only works on Python 3. Pull Request #46

0.8.5

• Bug fix: Fixup string formatting in pex/bin/pex.py to support Python 2.6 Pull Request #40

0.8.4

• Performance improvement: Speed up the best-case scenario of dependency resolution. RB #1685
• Bug fix: Change from uuid4().get_hex() to uuid4().hex to maintain Python3 compatibility of pex.common. Pull Request #39
• Bug fix: Actually cache the results of translation. Previously bdist translations would be created in a temporary directory even if a cache location was specified. RB #1666
• Bug fix: Support all potential abi tag permutations when determining platform compatibility. Pull Request #33

0.8.3

• Performance improvement: Don't always write packages to disk if they've already been cached. This can significantly speed up launching PEX files with a large number of non-zip-safe dependencies. RB #1642

0.8.2

• Bug fix: Allow pex 0.8.x to parse pex files produced by earlier versions of pex and twitter.common.python.
• Pin pex to setuptools prior to 9.x until we have a chance to make changes related to PEP440 and the change of pkg_resources.py to a package.

0.8.1

• Bug fix: Fix issue where it'd be possible to os.path.getmtime on a remote Link object Issue #29

0.8.0

• API change: Decouple translation from package iteration. This removes the Obtainer construct entirely, which likely means if you're using PEX as a library, you will need to change your code if you were doing anything nontrivial. This adds a couple new options to resolve but simplifies the story around how to cache packages. RB #785
• Refactor http handling in pex to allow for alternate http implementations. Adds support for requests, improving both performance and security. For more information, read the commit notes at 91c7f32. RB #778
• Improvements to API documentation throughout.
• Renamed Tracer to TraceLogger to prevent nondeterministic isort ordering.
• Refactor tox.ini to increase the number of environment combinations and improve coverage.
• Adds HTTP retry support for the RequestsContext. RB #1303
• Make pex --version correct. Issue #19
• Bug fix: Fix over-aggressive sys.modules scrubbing for namespace packages. Under certain circumstances, namespace packages in site-packages could conflict with packages within a PEX, causing them to fail importing. RB #1378
• Bug fix: Replace uses of os.unsetenv(...) with del os.environ[...] Pull Request #11
• Bug fix: Scrub sys.path and sys.modules based upon both supplied path and realpath of files and directories. Newer versions of virtualenv on Linux symlink site-packages which caused those packages to not be removed from sys.path correctly. Issue #21
• Bug fix: The pex -s option was not correctly pulling in transitive dependencies. Issue #22
• Bug fix: Adds content method to HTTP contexts that does HTML content decoding, fixing an encoding issue only experienced when using Python 3. Issue #10

0.7.0

• Rename twitter.common.python to pex and split out from the twitter/commons repo.

0.6.0

• Change the interpretation of -i (and of PyPIFetcher's pypi_base) to match pip's -i. This is useful for compatibility with devpi.

0.5.10

• Ensures that .egg/.whl distributions on disk have their mtime updated even though we no longer overwrite them. This gives them a new time lease against their ttl.

  Without this change, once a distribution aged past the ttl it would never be used again, and builds would re-create the same distributions in tmpdirs over and over again.

0.5.9

• Fixes an issue where SourceTranslator would overwrite .egg/.whl distributions already on disk. Instead it should always check to see if a copy already exists and reuse if there.

  This ordinarily should not be a problem but the zipimporter caches metadata by filename instead of stat/sha, so if the underlying contents changed a runtime error would be thrown due to seemingly corrupt zip file offsets. RB #684

0.5.8

• Adds -i/--index option to the pex tool.

0.5.7

• Adds twitter.common.python.pex_bootstrap bootstrap_pex_env function in order to initialize a PEX environment from within a python interpreter. (Patch contributed by @kwlzn)
• Adds stdin=,stdout=,stderr= keyword parameters to the PEX.run function. (Patch from @benjy)

0.5.6

• The crawler now defaults to not follow links for security reasons. (Before the default behavior was to implicitly --follow-links for all requirements.) RB #293

0.5.5

• Improves scrubbing of site-packages from PEX environments. RB #289

0.5.1 - 0.5.4

• Silences exceptions reported during interpreter teardown (the exceptions resulting from incorrect atexit handler behavior) introduced by 0.4.3 RB #253 RB #249
• Adds __hash__ to Link so that Packages are hashed correctly in twitter.common.python.resolver resolve

0.5.0

• Adds wheel support to twitter.common.python RB #94 RB #154 RB #148

0.4.3

• Adds twitter.common.python.finders which are additional finders for setuptools including: - find eggs within a .zip - find wheels within a directory - find wheels within a .zip RB #86
• Adds a new Package abstraction by refactoring Link into Link and Package. RB #92
• Adds support for PEP425 tagging necessary for wheel support. RB #87
• Improves python environment isolation by correctly scrubbing namespace packages injected into module __path__ attributes by nspkg pth files. RB #116
• Adds twitter.common.python.resolver resolve method that handles transitive dependency resolution better. This means that if the requirement futures==2.1.2 and an unqualified futures>=2 is pulled in transitively, our resolver will correctly resolve futures 2.1.2 instead of reporting a VersionConflict if any version newer than 2.1.2 is available. RB #129
• Factors all twitter.common.python test helpers into twitter.common.python.testing RB #91
• Bug fix: Fix OrderedSet atexit exceptions RB #147
• Bug fix: Fix cross-device symlinking (patch from @benjy)
• Bug fix: Raise a RuntimeError if we fail to write pkg_resources into a .pex RB #115

0.4.2

• Upgrade to setuptools>=1

0.4.1

• twitter.common.python is no longer a namespace package

0.4.0

• Kill the egg distiller. We now delegate .egg generation to bdist_egg. RB #55

0.3.1

• Short-circuit resolving a distribution if a local exact match is found. RB #47
• Correctly patch the global pkg_resources WorkingSet for the lifetime of the Python interpreter. RB #52
• Fixes a performance regression in setuptools build_zipmanifest Setuptools Issue #154 RB #53

0.3.0

• Plumb through the --zip-safe, --always-write-cache, --ignore-errors and --inherit-path flags to the pex tool.
• Delete the unused PythonDirWrapper code.
• Split PEXEnvironment resolution into twitter.common.python.environment and deconflate WorkingSet/Environment state.
• Removes the monkeypatched zipimporter in favor of keeping all eggs unzipped within PEX files. Refactors the PEX dependency cache in util.py
• Adds interpreter detection for Jython and PyPy.
• Dependency translation errors should be made uniform. (Patch from @johnsirois)
• Adds PEX_PROFILE_ENTRIES to limit the number of entries reported when PEX_PROFILE is enabled. (Patch from @rgs_)
• Bug fix: Several fixes to error handling in twitter.common.python.http (From Marc Abramowitz)
• Bug fix: PEX should not always assume that $PATH was available. (Patch from @jamesbroadhead)
• Bug fix: Filename should be part of the .pex cache key or else multiple identical versions will incorrectly resolve (Patch from @tc)
• Bug fix: Executed entry points shouldn't be forced to run in an environment with __future__ imports enabled. (Patch from @lawson_patrick)
• Bug fix: Detect versionless egg links and fail fast. (Patch from @johnsirois.)
• Bug fix: Handle setuptools>=2.1 correctly in the zipimport monkeypatch (Patch from @johnsirois.)

0.2.3

• Bug fix: Fix handling of Fetchers with file:// urls.

0.2.2

• Adds the pex tool as a standalone tool.

0.2.1

• Bug fix: Bootstrapped twitter.common.python should declare twitter.common as a namespace package.

0.2.0

• Make twitter.common.python fully standalone by consolidating external dependencies within twitter.common.python.common.

0.1.0

• Initial published version of twitter.common.python.
