pyproject RPM macros
====================

This is a provisional implementation of pyproject RPM macros for Fedora 30+.

These macros are useful for packaging Python projects that use the [PEP 517] `pyproject.toml` file, which specifies the package's build dependencies (including the build system, such as setuptools, flit or poetry).


Usage
-----

If your upstream sources include `pyproject.toml` and you want to use these macros, BuildRequire them:

    BuildRequires: pyproject-rpm-macros

This will bring in python3-devel, so you don't need to require python3-devel explicitly.

In order to get automatic build dependencies on Fedora 31+, run `%pyproject_buildrequires` in the `%generate_buildrequires` section:

    %generate_buildrequires
    %pyproject_buildrequires

Only build dependencies according to [PEP 517] and [PEP 518] will be added.
All other build dependencies (such as non-Python libraries or test dependencies) still need to be specified manually.

Then, build a wheel in `%build` with `%pyproject_wheel`:

    %build
    %pyproject_wheel

And install the wheel in `%install` with `%pyproject_install`:

    %install
    %pyproject_install


Adding run-time and test-time dependencies
------------------------------------------

To run tests in the `%check` section, the package's runtime dependencies
often need to also be included as build requirements.
If the project's build system supports the [`prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel`
hook](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/#prepare-metadata-for-build-wheel),
this can be done using the `-r` flag:

    %generate_buildrequires
    %pyproject_buildrequires -r

For projects that specify test requirements using an [`extra`
provide](https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/#provides-extra-multiple-use),
these can be added using the `-x` flag.
For example, if upstream suggests installing test dependencies with
`pip install mypackage[testing]`, the test deps would be generated by:

    %generate_buildrequires
    %pyproject_buildrequires -r -x testing

For projects that specify test requirements in their [tox] configuration,
these can be added using the `-t` flag (default tox environment)
or the `-e` flag followed by the tox environment.
The default tox environment (such as `py37` assuming the Fedora's Python version is 3.7)
is available in the `%{toxenv}` macro.
For example, if upstream suggests running the tests on Python 3.7 with `tox -e py37`,
the test deps would be generated by:

    %generate_buildrequires
    %pyproject_buildrequires -t

If upstream uses a custom derived environment, such as `py37-unit`, use:

    %pyproject_buildrequires -e %{toxenv}-unit

Or specify more environments if needed:

    %pyproject_buildrequires -e %{toxenv}-unit,%{toxenv}-integration

The `-e` option redefines `%{toxenv}` for further reuse.
Use `%{default_toxenv}` to get the default value.

Note that `-t` implies `-r`, because tox normally assumes the package is installed
including all the runtime dependencies.

The `-t`/`-e` option uses [tox-current-env]'s `--print-deps-to-file` behind the scenes.

Running tox based tests
-----------------------

In case you want to run the tests as specified in [tox] configuration,
you can use the `%tox` macro:

    %check
    %tox

The macro:

 - Always prepends `$PATH` with `%{buildroot}%{_bindir}`
 - If not defined, sets `$PYTHONPATH` to `%{buildroot}%{python3_sitearch}:%{buildroot}%{python3_sitelib}`
 - If not defined, sets `$TOX_TESTENV_PASSENV` to `*`
 - Runs `tox` with `-q` (quiet), `--recreate` and `--current-env` (from [tox-current-env]) flags
 - Implicitly uses the tox environment name stored in `%{toxenv}` - as overridden by `%pyproject_buildrequires -t`

By using the `-e` flag, you can use a different tox environment(s):

    %check
    %tox
    %if %{with integration_test}
    %tox -e %{default_toxenv}-integration
    %endif

If you wish to provide custom `tox` flags or arguments, add them after `--`:

    %tox -- --flag-for-tox

If you wish to pass custom `posargs` to tox, use another `--`:

    %tox -- --flag-for-tox -- --flag-for-posargs

Or (note the two sequential `--`s):

    %tox -- -- --flag-for-posargs

**Warning:** This macro assumes you have used `%pyproject_buildrequires -t` or `-e`
in `%generate_buildrequires`. If not, you need to add:

    BuildRequires: python3dist(tox-current-env)

Limitations
-----------

`%pyproject_install` currently installs all wheels in `$PWD`. We are working on a more explicit solution.

This macro changes shebang lines of every Python script in `%{buildroot}%{_bindir}` to `#! %{__python3} %{py3_shbang_opt}` (`#! /usr/bin/python3 -s`).
We plan to preserve existing Python flags in shebangs, but the work is not yet finished.

Extras are currently ignored.

Some valid Python version specifiers are not supported.

The `-x` flag does not yet support multiple (comma-separated) extras.
