Public API for for building wheels.

rule py_package(name, deps=[], packages=[])

A rule to select all files in transitive dependencies of deps which belong to given set of Python packages.

This rule is intended to be used as data dependency to py_wheel rule.

Attributes:

• name – (Name)

  A unique name for this target.

  mandatory

• deps – (list[label]) (default [])

  optional

• packages – (list[str]) (default [])

  List of Python packages to include in the distribution. Sub-packages are automatically included.

  optional

py_wheel(name, twine=None, twine_binary='@rules_python//tools/publish:twine', publish_args=[], **kwargs)

Builds a Python Wheel.

Wheels are Python distribution format defined in https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0427/.

This macro packages a set of targets into a single wheel. It wraps the py_wheel rule.

Currently only pure-python wheels are supported.

Changed in version 1.4.0: From now on, an empty requires_file is treated as if it were omitted, resulting in a valid METADATA file.

Examples:

# Package some specific py_library targets, without their dependencies
py_wheel(
    name = "minimal_with_py_library",
    # Package data. We're building "example_minimal_library-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl"
    distribution = "example_minimal_library",
    python_tag = "py3",
    version = "0.0.1",
    deps = [
        "//examples/wheel/lib:module_with_data",
        "//examples/wheel/lib:simple_module",
    ],
)

# Use py_package to collect all transitive dependencies of a target,
# selecting just the files within a specific python package.
py_package(
    name = "example_pkg",
    # Only include these Python packages.
    packages = ["examples.wheel"],
    deps = [":main"],
)

py_wheel(
    name = "minimal_with_py_package",
    # Package data. We're building "example_minimal_package-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl"
    distribution = "example_minimal_package",
    python_tag = "py3",
    version = "0.0.1",
    deps = [":example_pkg"],
)

To publish the wheel to PyPI, the twine package is required and it is installed by default on bzlmod setups. On legacy WORKSPACE, rules_python doesn’t provide twine itself (see https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/issues/1016), but you can install it with pip_parse, just like we do any other dependencies.

Once you’ve installed twine, you can pass its label to the twine attribute of this macro, to get a “[name].publish” target.

Example:

py_wheel(
    name = "my_wheel",
    twine = "@publish_deps//twine",
    ...
)

Now you can run a command like the following, which publishes to https://test.pypi.org/

% TWINE_USERNAME=__token__ TWINE_PASSWORD=pypi-*** \
    bazel run --stamp --embed_label=1.2.4 -- \
    //path/to:my_wheel.publish --repository testpypi

Args:

• name – A unique name for this target.

• twine – (default None)

  A label of the external location of the py_library target for twine

• twine_binary – (default “@rules_python//tools/publish:twine”)

  A label of the external location of a binary target for twine.

• publish_args – (default [])

  arguments passed to twine, e.g. [”–repository-url”, “https://pypi.my.org/simple/”]. These are subject to make var expansion, as with the args attribute. Note that you can also pass additional args to the bazel run command as in the example above.

• kwargs – other named parameters passed to the underlying py_wheel rule

rule py_wheel_dist(name, out, wheel=None)

Prepare a dist/ folder, following Python’s packaging standard practice.

See https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/packaging-projects/#generating-distribution-archives which recommends a dist/ folder containing the wheel file(s), source distributions, etc.

This also has the advantage that stamping information is included in the wheel’s filename.

Attributes:

• name – (Name)

  A unique name for this target.

  mandatory

• out – (str)

  name of the resulting directory

  mandatory

• wheel – (label) (default None)

  a py_wheel target

  optional

  Required providers: PyWheelInfo

rule py_wheel_rule(name, distribution, version, abi='none', author='', author_email='', classifiers=[], compress=True, console_scripts={}, data_files={}, deps=[], description_content_type='', description_file=None, entry_points={}, extra_distinfo_files={}, extra_requires={}, extra_requires_files={}, homepage='', license='', platform='any', project_urls={}, python_requires='', python_tag='py3', requires=[], requires_file=None, stamp=-1, strip_path_prefixes=[], summary='')

Internal rule used by the py_wheel macro.

These intentionally have the same name to avoid sharp edges with Bazel macros. For example, a bazel query for a user’s py_wheel macro expands to py_wheel targets, in the way they expect.

Attributes:

• name – (Name)

  A unique name for this target.

  mandatory

• distribution – (str)

  Name of the distribution.

  This should match the project name on PyPI. It’s also the name that is used to refer to the package in other packages’ dependencies.

  Workspace status keys are expanded using {NAME} format, for example:

  • distribution = "package.{CLASSIFIER}"

  • distribution = "{DISTRIBUTION}"

  For the available keys, see https://bazel.build/docs/user-manual#workspace-status

  mandatory

• version – (str)

  Version number of the package.

  Note that this attribute supports stamp format strings as well as ‘make variables’. For example:

  • version = "1.2.3-{BUILD_TIMESTAMP}"

  • version = "{BUILD_EMBED_LABEL}"

  • version = "$(VERSION)"

  Note that Bazel’s output filename cannot include the stamp information, as outputs must be known during the analysis phase and the stamp data is available only during the action execution.

  The py_wheel macro produces a .dist-suffix target which creates a dist/ folder containing the wheel with the stamped name, suitable for publishing.

  See py_wheel_dist for more info.

  mandatory

• abi – (str) (default “none”)

  Python ABI tag. ‘none’ for pure-Python wheels.

  optional

• author – (str) (default “”)

  A string specifying the author of the package.

  optional

• author_email – (str) (default “”)

  A string specifying the email address of the package author.

  optional

• classifiers – (list[str]) (default [])

  A list of strings describing the categories for the package. For valid classifiers see https://pypi.org/classifiers

  optional

• compress – (bool) (default True)

  Enable compression of the final archive.

  optional

• console_scripts – (dict[str, str]) (default {})

  Deprecated console_script entry points, e.g. {'main': 'examples.wheel.main:main'}.

  Deprecated: prefer the entry_points attribute, which supports console_scripts as well as other entry points.

  optional

• data_files – (dict[label, str]) (default {})

  Any file that is not normally installed inside site-packages goes into the .data directory, named as the .dist-info directory but with the .data/ extension. Allowed paths: (“purelib”, “platlib”, “headers”, “scripts”, “data”)

  optional

• deps – (list[label]) (default [])

  Targets to be included in the distribution.

  The targets to package are usually py_library rules or filesets (for packaging data files).

  Note it’s usually better to package py_library targets and use entry_points attribute to specify console_scripts than to package py_binary rules. py_binary targets would wrap a executable script that tries to locate .runfiles directory which is not packaged in the wheel.

  optional

• description_content_type – (str) (default “”)

  The type of contents in description_file. If not provided, the type will be inferred from the extension of description_file. Also see https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/core-metadata/#description-content-type

  optional

• description_file – (label) (default None)

  A file containing text describing the package.

  optional

• entry_points – (dict[str, list[str]]) (default {})

  entry_points, e.g. {'console_scripts': ['main = examples.wheel.main:main']}.

  optional

• extra_distinfo_files – (dict[label, str]) (default {})

  Extra files to add to distinfo directory in the archive.

  optional

• extra_requires – (dict[str, list[str]]) (default {})

  A mapping of extras options to lists of requirements (similar to requires). This attribute is mutually exclusive with extra_requires_file.

  optional

• extra_requires_files – (dict[label, str]) (default {})

  A mapping of requirements files (similar to requires_file) to the name of an extras option This attribute is mutually exclusive with extra_requires.

  optional

• homepage – (str) (default “”)

  A string specifying the URL for the package homepage.

  optional

• license – (str) (default “”)

  A string specifying the license of the package.

  optional

• platform – (str) (default “any”)

  Supported platform. Use ‘any’ for pure-Python wheel.

  If you have included platform-specific data, such as a .pyd or .so extension module, you will need to specify the platform in standard pip format. If you support multiple platforms, you can define platform constraints, then use a select() to specify the appropriate specifier, eg:

  platform = select({     "//platforms:windows_x86_64": "win_amd64",     "//platforms:macos_x86_64": "macosx_10_7_x86_64",     "//platforms:linux_x86_64": "manylinux2014_x86_64", })

  optional

• project_urls – (dict[str, str]) (default {})

  A string dict specifying additional browsable URLs for the project and corresponding labels, where label is the key and url is the value. e.g {{"Bug Tracker": "http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issues/"}}

  optional

• python_requires – (str) (default “”)

  Python versions required by this distribution, e.g. ‘>=3.5,<3.7’

  optional

• python_tag – (str) (default “py3”)

  Supported Python version(s), eg py3, cp35.cp36, etc

  optional

• requires – (list[str]) (default [])

  List of requirements for this package. See the section on Declaring required dependency for details and examples of the format of this argument. This attribute is mutually exclusive with requires_file.

  optional

• requires_file – (label) (default None)

  A file containing a list of requirements for this package. See the section on Declaring required dependency for details and examples of the format of this argument. This attribute is mutually exclusive with requires.

  optional

• stamp – (int) (default -1)

  Whether to encode build information into the wheel. Possible values:

  • stamp = 1: Always stamp the build information into the wheel, even in –nostamp builds. This setting should be avoided, since it potentially kills remote caching for the target and any downstream actions that depend on it.

  • stamp = 0: Always replace build information by constant values. This gives good build result caching.

  • stamp = -1: Embedding of build information is controlled by the –[no]stamp flag.

  Stamped targets are not rebuilt unless their dependencies change.

  optional

• strip_path_prefixes – (list[str]) (default [])

  path prefixes to strip from files added to the generated package

  optional

• summary – (str) (default “”)

  A one-line summary of what the distribution does

  optional
