OSS 26.06

OSS

Most of June went into pip work.

Work (June 1 - July 12)

Code

  • pip
    • Discussed whether pip should use filename or the URL basename from a PEP 691 JSON response. #14113
    • Fixed a bug where option-error usage was not rendered by Rich and exposed the markup instead. #14143
    • Added an opt-out environment variable for Git servers that cannot handle partial clones correctly. #14163
    • Some performance improvements (very niche ones…). pip show now builds the file list only with --files, and the importlib backend no longer parses METADATA twice. #14118, #14090
    • Fixed bugs where an invalid requirement marker caused a traceback, pip list --exclude changed the --not-required result, and extras disappeared from Discarding logs because Rich treated them as markup. #14135, #14130, #14085
    • Working on a clearer warning for incompletely removed ~...dist-info directories. #14047
  • django-auditlog
    • Working on moving django-auditlog from Jazzband to Django Commons.1 I expect to wrap it up around August or September. #828, #829, #830, jazzband/help#429
    • Raised the supported versions to Python 3.14 and Django 6.0. #827
    • Found a flaky test during code review and fixed it. #832
  • django-hosts
  • pipx
    • Fixed a bug where --with was silently ignored for PEP 723 scripts. #1850, #1849

Triage

I started triaging mostly older pip issues. I compared them against current code and used git bisect to find when they had been fixed. Spending time in older code also helped me get a better grasp of the codebase.

  • Wheels larger than 4GB failed to install. The response body was stored inside the msgpack cache and hit its roughly 4GB limit. Moving it to a separate file fixed the issue. #9549, #11143
  • pip mistook a GitHub Actions image name for a version and failed. The issue was fixed in packaging#932 and reached pip when it was vendored in 26.0. #12825, packaging#932
  • A local sdist source directory was removed even with --no-clean. I confirmed that current code preserves it. #2779, #7516

Reviews

  • Reviewed the abstractproperty removal and caught an omission. #14099
  • Found that a path traversal PR used an incorrect reproducer. #14109
