* Improve dependency resolution performance by caching platform compatibility tags during wheel cache lookup. (#12712)
* Improve dependency resolution performance by caching platform compatibility tags during wheel cache lookup.
* wheel is no longer explicitly listed as a build dependency of pip. setuptools injects this dependency in the get_requires_for_build_wheel() hook and no longer needs it on newer versions. (#12728)

* Accommodate for mismatches between different sources of truth for extra names, for packages generated by setuptools.
* Accommodate for development versions of CPython ending in + in the version string.
* requests provides optional character detection support on some APIs when processing ambiguous bytes. This isn\'t relevant for pip to function and we\'re able to remove it due to recent upstream changes.
* Drop support for EOL Python 3.7.
* Remove support for legacy versions and dependency specifiers.
* Packages with non standard-compliant versions or dependency specifiers are now ignored by the resolver. Already installed packages with non standard-compliant versions or dependency specifiers must be uninstalled before upgrading them.

* Automatically use the setuptools PEP 517 build backend when - -config-settings is used for projects without pyproject.toml.
* Make pip freeze and pip uninstall of legacy editable installs of packages whose name contains _ compatible with setuptools>=69.0.3.
* Support per requirement --config-settings for editable installs.
* Optimized usage of --find-links=, by only scanning the relevant directory once, only considering file names that are valid wheel or sdist names, and only considering files in the directory that are related to the install.
* Removed wheel from the [build-system].requires list fallback that is used when pyproject.toml is absent.

* Fri Dec 22 2023 Ben Greiner - Drop deprecated setup.py installmethod, bootstrap PEP517 with built-in pip instead- python3XX-pip-wheel can now be a regular subpackage- Drop obsolete python2 directives in specfile
* Mon Dec 18 2023 Dirk Müller - update to 23.3.2:
* Fix a bug in extras handling for link requirements (`#12372
* Fix mercurial revision \"parse error\": use ``--rev={ref}`` instead of ``-r={ref}`` (`#12373
* Tue Nov 21 2023 Matej Cepl - Update to 23.3.1: - Bug Fixes - Handle a timezone indicator of Z when parsing dates in the self check. (#12338) - Fix bug where installing the same package at the same time with multiple pip processes could fail. (#12361)- Update to 23.3: - Process - Added reference to vulnerability reporting guidelines to pip\'s security policy. - Features - Improve extras resolution for multiple constraints on same base package. (#11924) - Improve use of datastructures to make candidate selection 1.6x faster. (#12204) - Allow pip install --dry-run to use platform and ABI overriding options. (#12215) - Add is_yanked boolean entry to the installation report (--report) to indicate whether the requirement was yanked from the index, but was still selected by pip conform to PEP 592. (#12224) - Bug Fixes - Ignore errors in temporary directory cleanup (show a warning instead). (#11394) - Normalize extras according to PEP 685 from package metadata in the resolver for comparison. This ensures extras are correctly compared and merged as long as the package providing the extra(s) is built with values normalized according to the standard. Note, however, that this does not solve cases where the package itself contains unnormalized extra values in the metadata. (#11649) - Prevent downloading sdists twice when PEP 658 metadata is present. (#11847) - Include all requested extras in the install report (--report). (#11924) - Removed uses of datetime.datetime.utcnow from non-vendored code. (#12005) - Consistently report whether a dependency comes from an extra. (#12095) - Fix completion script for zsh (#12166) - Fix improper handling of the new onexc argument of shutil.rmtree() in Python 3.12. (#12187) - Filter out yanked links from the available versions error message: \"(from versions: 1.0, 2.0, 3.0)\" will not contain yanked versions conform PEP 592. The yanked versions (if any) will be mentioned in a separate error message. (#12225) - Fix crash when the git version number contains something else than digits and dots. (#12280) - Use -r=... instead of -r ... to specify references with Mercurial. (#12306, CVE-2023-5752, bsc#1217353) - Redact password from URLs in some additional places. (#12350) - pip uses less memory when caching large packages. As a result, there is a new on-disk cache format stored in a new directory ($PIP_CACHE_DIR/http-v2). (#2984) - Vendored Libraries - Upgrade certifi to 2023.7.22 - Add truststore 0.8.0 - Upgrade urllib3 to 1.26.17 - Improved Documentation - Document that pip search support has been removed from PyPI (#12059) - Clarify --prefer-binary in CLI and docs (#12122) - Document that using OS-provided Python can cause pip\'s test suite to report false failures. (#12334)- Adjust pip-shipped-requests-cabundle.patch.
* Mon Aug 28 2023 Steve Kowalik - Finally drop csv23, it has been removed upstream since 2021.- Shift around sle15_python_module_pythons.
* Mon Aug 07 2023 Martin Schreiner - Upgrade to 23.2.1
* Bug fixes - Disable PEP 658 metadata fetching with the legacy resolver.- Upgrade to 23.2
* Process - Deprecate support for eggs for Python 3.11 or later, when the new importlib.metadata backend is used to load distribution metadata. This only affects the egg distribution format (with the .egg extension); distributions using the .egg-info metadata format (but are not actually eggs) are not affected. For more information about eggs, see relevant section in the setuptools documentation.
* Deprecations and Removals - Deprecate legacy version and version specifiers that don’t conform to PEP 440 - freeze no longer excludes the setuptools, distribute, and wheel from the output when running on Python 3.12 or later, where they are not included in a virtual environment by default. Use - -exclude if you wish to exclude any of these packages.
* Features - make rejection messages slightly different between 1 and 8, so the user can make the difference.
* Bug Fixes - Fix pip completion --zsh. - Prevent downloading files twice when PEP 658 metadata is present - Add permission check before configuration - Fix deprecation warnings in Python 3.12 for usage of shutil.rmtree - Ignore invalid or unreadable origin.json files in the cache of locally built wheels. - Fix installation of packages with PEP658 metadata using non-canonicalized names - Correctly parse dist-info-metadata values from JSON-format index data. - Fail with an error if the --python option is specified after the subcommand name. - Fix slowness when using importlib.metadata (the default way for pip to read metadata in Python 3.11+) and there is a large overlap between already installed and to-be-installed packages. - Pass the -r flag to mercurial to be explicit that a revision is passed and protect against hg options injection as part of VCS URLs. Users that do not have control on VCS URLs passed to pip are advised to upgrade.
* Vendored Libraries - Upgrade certifi to 2023.5.7 - Upgrade platformdirs to 3.8.1 - Upgrade pygments to 2.15.1 - Upgrade pyparsing to 3.1.0 - Upgrade Requests to 2.31.0 - Upgrade rich to 13.4.2 - Upgrade setuptools to 68.0.0 - Updated typing_extensions to 4.6.0 - Upgrade typing_extensions to 4.7.1 - Upgrade urllib3 to 1.26.16
* Mon Jun 12 2023 Daniel Garcia - Remove .exe files from package (bsc#1212015)
* Tue May 02 2023 Daniel Garcia - Update to 23.1.2 - Upgrade setuptools to 67.7.2- 23.1.1: - Revert #11487, as it causes issues with virtualenvs created by the Windows Store distribution of Python. (#11987) - Revert pkg_resources (via setuptools) back to 65.6.3 - Update documentation to reflect the new behavior of using the cache of locally built wheels in hash-checking mode. (#11967)- 23.1: - Remove support for the deprecated --install-options. (#11358) - --no-binary does not imply setup.py install anymore. Instead a wheel will be built locally and installed. (#11451) - --no-binary does not disable the cache of locally built wheels anymore. It only means \"don\'t download wheels\". (#11453) - Deprecate --build-option and --global-option. Users are invited to switch to --config-settings. (#11859) - Using --config-settings with projects that don\'t have a pyproject.toml now prints a deprecation warning. In the future the presence of config settings will automatically enable the default build backend for legacy projects and pass the setttings to it. (#11915) - Remove setup.py install fallback when building a wheel failed for projects without pyproject.toml. (#8368) - When the wheel package is not installed, pip now uses the default build backend instead of setup.py install and setup.py develop for project without pyproject.toml. (#8559) - Specify egg-link location in assertion message when it does not match installed location to provide better error message for debugging. (#10476) - Present conflict information during installation after each choice that is rejected (pass -vv to pip install to show it) (#10937) - Display dependency chain on each Collecting/Processing log line. (#11169) - Support a per-requirement --config-settings option in requirements files. (#11325) - The --config-settings/-C option now supports using the same key multiple times. When the same key is specified multiple times, all values are passed to the build backend as a list, as opposed to the previous behavior, where pip would only pass the last value if the same key was used multiple times. (#11681) - Add -C as a short version of the --config-settings option. (#11786) - Reduce the number of resolver rounds, since backjumping makes the resolver more efficient in finding solutions. This also makes pathological cases fail quicker. (#11908) - Warn if --hash is used on a line without requirement in a requirements file. (#11935) - Stop propagating CLI --config-settings to the build dependencies. They already did not propagate to requirements provided in requirement files. To pass the same config settings to several requirements, users should provide the requirements as CLI arguments. (#11941) - Support wheel cache when using --require-hashes. (#5037) - Add --keyring-provider flag. See the Authentication page in the documentation for more info. (#8719) - In the case of virtual environments, configuration files are now also included from the base installation. (#9752) - Fix grammar by changing \"A new release of pip available:\" to \"A new release of pip is available:\" in the notice used for indicating that. (#11529) - Normalize paths before checking if installed scripts are on PATH. (#11719) - Correct the way to decide if keyring is available. (#11774) - More consistent resolution backtracking by removing legacy hack related to setuptools resolution (#11837) - Include AUTHORS.txt in pip\'s wheels. (#11882) - The uninstall and install --force-reinstall commands no longer call normalize_path() repeatedly on the same paths. Instead, these results are cached for the duration of an uninstall operation, resulting in improved performance, particularly on Windows. (#11889) - Fix and improve the parsing of hashes embedded in URL fragments. (#11936) - When package A depends on package B provided as a direct URL dependency including a hash embedded in the link, the - -require-hashes option did not warn when user supplied hashes were missing for package B. (#11938) - Correctly report requested_extras in the installation report when extras are specified for a local directory installation. (#11946) - When installing an archive from a direct URL or local file, populate download_info.info.hashes in the installation report, in addition to the legacy download_info.info.hash key. (#11948)- 23.0.1: - Change the hashes in the installation report to be a mapping. Emit the archive_info.hashes dictionary in direct_url.json. (#11312) - Implement logic to read the EXTERNALLY-MANAGED file as specified in PEP 668. This allows a downstream Python distributor to prevent users from using pip to modify the externally managed environment. (#11381) - Enable the use of keyring found on PATH. This allows keyring installed using pipx to be used by pip. (#11589) - The inspect and installation report formats are now declared stable, and their version has been bumped from 0 to 1. (#11757) - Wheel cache behavior is restored to match previous versions, allowing the cache to find existing entries. (#11527) - Use the \"venv\" scheme if available to obtain prefixed lib paths. (#11598) - Deprecated a historical ambiguity in how egg fragments in URL-style requirements are formatted and handled. egg fragments that do not look like PEP 508 names now produce a deprecation warning. (#11617) - Fix scripts path in isolated build environment on Debian. (#11623) - Make pip show show the editable location if package is editable (#11638) - Stop checking that wheel is present when build-system.requires is provided without build-system.build-backend as setuptools (which we still check for) will inject it anyway. (#11673) - Fix an issue when an already existing in-memory distribution would cause exceptions in pip install (#11704)
* Fri Apr 21 2023 Dirk Müller - add sle15_python_module_pythons (jsc#PED-68)
* Thu Apr 13 2023 Matej Cepl - Make calling of %{sle15modernpython} optional.
* Thu Dec 08 2022 Steve Kowalik - Update to 22.3.1: (bsc#1205478)
* Deprecations and Removals + Deprecate installation with setup.py install when no-binary is enabled for source distributions without pyproject.toml. (#11452) + Deprecate installation with setup.py install when the wheel package is absent for source distributions without pyproject.toml. (#8559) + Drop --use-deprecated=out-of-tree-build. (#11001)
* Features + Use the data-dist-info-metadata attribute from PEP 658 to resolve distribution metadata without downloading the dist yet. (#11111) + Add --dry-run option to pip install, to let it print what it would install but not actually make changes in the target environment. (#11096) + Add pip inspect command to obtain the list of installed distributions and other information about the Python environment, in JSON. (#11245) + Add option to install and uninstall commands to opt-out from running-as-root warning. (#10556) + Add a user interface for supplying config settings to build backends. (#11059) + Explains why specified version cannot be retrieved when Requires-Python is not satisfied. (#9615) + Validate build dependencies when using --no-build-isolation. (#9794)
* Bug Fixes + Fix entry point generation of pip.X, pipX.Y, and easy_install-X.Y to correctly account for multi-digit Python version segments. (#11547) + Fix --no-index when --index-url or --extra-index-url is specified inside a requirements file. (#11276) + Ignore distributions with invalid Name in metadata instead of crashing, when using the importlib.metadata backend. (#11352) + Raise RequirementsFileParseError when parsing malformed requirements options that can’t be sucessfully parsed by shlex. (#11491) + Show pip deprecation warnings by default. (#11330) + Send the pip upgrade prompt to stderr. (#11282) + Ensure that things work correctly in environments where setuptools-injected distutils is available by default. (#11298) + pip config now normalizes names by converting underscores into dashes. (#9330) + Fallback to pyproject.toml-based builds if setup.py is present in a project, but setuptools cannot be imported. (#10717) + When checking for conflicts in the build environment, correctly skip requirements containing markers that do not match the current environment. (#10883) + Fix pip install issues using a proxy due to an inconsistency in how Requests is currently handling variable precedence in session. (#9691)- Refresh all patches.- Stop skipping a lot of tests, no longer required.- Add installer to BuildRequires for the test flavor.
* Wed Aug 10 2022 Dirk Müller - skip subversion tests, not that relevant to pull in dozens of dependencies into small bootstrap
* Thu Jun 23 2022 Matej Cepl - Add distutils-reproducible-compile.patch to make installed files ordered correctly and thus builds reproducible again (port of the fix for bpo#29708 and gh#python/cpython#8057).
* Sat Mar 19 2022 Ben Greiner - Avoid cycle: BuildRequire ca-certificates only in tests
* Fri Mar 18 2022 Ben Greiner - Update requirements: v22 is not compatible with Python 3.6 and thus not suitable for SLE/Leap 15.
* Thu Mar 17 2022 Matej Cepl - Update to 22.0.4: - Drop the doctype check, that presented a warning for index pages that use non-compliant HTML 5.- Update to 22.0.3: - Print the exception via rich.traceback, when running with - -debug. - Only calculate topological installation order, for packages that are going to be installed/upgraded. - This fixes an AssertionError that occured when determining installation order, for a very specific combination of upgrading-already-installed-package + change of dependencies + fetching some packages from a package index. This combination was especially common in Read the Docs\' builds. - Use html.parser by default, instead of falling back to html5lib when --use-deprecated=html5lib is not passed. - Clarify that using per-requirement overrides disables the usage of wheels.- Update to 22.0.2: - Instead of failing on index pages that use non-compliant HTML 5, print a deprecation warning and fall back to html5lib-based parsing for now. This simplifies the migration for non-compliant index pages, by letting such indexes function with a warning.- Update to 22.0.1: - Accept lowercase on index pages. - Properly handle links parsed by html5lib, when using - -use-deprecated=html5lib.- Update to 22.0: - Completely replace :pypi:`tox` in our development workflow, with :pypi:`nox`. - Deprecate alternative progress bar styles, leaving only on and off as available choices. - Drop support for Python 3.6. - Disable location mismatch warnings on Python versions prior to 3.10. - These warnings were helping identify potential issues as part of the sysconfig -> distutils transition, and we no longer need to rely on reports from older Python versions for information on the transition. - Changed PackageFinder to parse HTML documents using the stdlib :class:`html.parser.HTMLParser` class instead of the html5lib package. - For now, the deprecated html5lib code remains and can be used with the --use-deprecated=html5lib command line option. However, it will be removed in a future pip release. - Utilise rich for presenting pip\'s default download progress bar. - Present a better error message when an invalid wheel file is encountered, providing more context where the invalid wheel file is. - Documents the --require-virtualenv flag for pip install. - pip install autocompletes paths. - Allow Python distributors to opt-out from or opt-in to the sysconfig installation scheme backend by setting sysconfig._PIP_USE_SYSCONFIG to True or False. - Make it possible to deselect tests requiring cryptography package on systems where it cannot be installed. - Start using Rich for presenting error messages in a consistent format. - Improve presentation of errors from subprocesses. - Forward pip\'s verbosity configuration to VCS tools to control their output accordingly. - Optimize installation order calculation to improve performance when installing requirements that form a complex dependency graph with a large amount of edges. - When a package is requested by the user for upgrade, correctly identify that the extra-ed variant of that same package depended by another user-requested package is requesting the same package, and upgrade it accordingly. - Prevent pip from installing yanked releases unless explicitly pinned via the == or === operators. - Stop backtracking on build failures, by instead surfacing them to the user and aborting immediately. This behaviour provides more immediate feedback when a package cannot be built due to missing build dependencies or platform incompatibility. - Silence Value for does not match warning caused by an erroneous patch in Slackware-distributed Python 3.9. - Fix an issue where pip did not consider dependencies with and without extras to be equal
* Sun Nov 07 2021 Dirk Müller - update to 21.3.1:
* Always refuse installing or building projects that have no ``pyproject.toml`` nor ``setup.py``.
* Tweak running-as-root detection, to check ``os.getuid`` if it exists, on Unix-y and non-Linux/non-MacOS machines.
* When installing projects with a ``pyproject.toml`` in editable mode, and the build backend does not support :pep:`660`, prepare metadata using ``prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel`` instead of ``setup.py egg_info``. Also, refuse installing projects that only have a ``setup.cfg`` and no ``setup.py`` nor ``pyproject.toml``. These restore the pre-21.3 behaviour.
* Restore compatibility of where configuration files are loaded from on MacOS
* Upgrade pep517 to 0.12.0
* Improve deprecation warning regarding the copying of source trees when installing from a local directory.
* Suppress location mismatch warnings when pip is invoked from a Python source tree, so ``ensurepip`` does not emit warnings on CPython ``make install``.
* On Python 3.10 or later, the installation scheme backend has been changed to use ``sysconfig``. This is to anticipate the deprecation of ``distutils`` in Python 3.10, and its scheduled removal in 3.12. For compatibility considerations, pip installations running on Python 3.9 or lower will continue to use ``distutils``.
* Remove the ``--build-dir`` option and aliases, one last time.
* In-tree builds are now the default. ``--use-feature=in-tree-build`` is now ignored. ``--use-deprecated=out-of-tree-build`` may be used temporarily to ease the transition.
* Un-deprecate source distribution re-installation behaviour.
* Replace vendored appdirs with platformdirs.
* Support `PEP 610 `_ to detect editable installs in ``pip freeze`` and ``pip list``. The ``pip list`` column output has a new ``Editable project location`` column, and the JSON output has a new ``editable_project_location`` field.
* ``pip freeze`` will now always fallback to reporting the editable project location when it encounters a VCS error while analyzing an editable requirement. Before, it sometimes reported the requirement as non-editable.
* ``pip show`` now sorts ``Requires`` and ``Required-By`` alphabetically.
* Do not raise error when there are no files to remove with ``pip cache purge/remove``. Instead log a warning and continue (to log that we removed 0 files).
* When backtracking during dependency resolution, prefer the dependencies which are involved in the most recent conflict. This can significantly reduce the amount of backtracking required.
* Cache requirement objects, to improve performance reducing reparses of requirement strings.
* Support editable installs for projects that have a ``pyproject.toml`` and use a build backend that supports :pep:`660`.
* When a revision is specified in a Git URL, use git\'s partial clone feature to speed up source retrieval.
* Add a ``--debug`` flag, to enable a mode that doesn\'t log errors and propagates them to the top level instead. This is primarily to aid with debugging pip\'s crashes.
* If a host is explicitly specified as trusted by the user (via the - -trusted-host option), cache HTTP responses from it in addition to HTTPS ones.
* Present a better error message, when a ``file:`` URL is not found.
* Fix the auth credential cache to allow for the case in which the index url contains the username, but the password comes from an external source, such as keyring.
* Fix double unescape of HTML ``data-requires-python`` and ``data-yanked`` attributes.
* New resolver: Fixes depth ordering of packages during resolution, e.g. a dependency 2 levels deep will be ordered before a dependecy 3 levels deep.- drop remove_mock.patch (upstream)
* Wed Sep 08 2021 Stefan Schubert - Use libalternatives instead of update-alternatives.
* Mon Jan 04 2021 Paolo Stivanin - Update to 20.2.4: Deprecations and Removals
* Document that certain removals can be fast tracked.
* Document that Python versions are generally supported until PyPI usage falls below 5% Features
* New resolver: Avoid accessing indexes when the installed candidate is preferred and considered good enough
* Improve error message friendliness when an environment has packages with corrupted metadata
* Cache package listings on index packages so they are guarenteed to stay stable during a pip command session. This also improves performance when a index page is accessed multiple times during the command session
* New resolver: Tweak resolution logic to improve user experience when user-supplied requirements conflict Bug Fixes
* New resolver: Correctly respect ``Requires-Python`` metadata to reject incompatible packages in ``--no-deps`` mode
* New resolver: Pick up hash declarations in constraints files and use them to filter available distributions
* New resolver: If a package appears multiple times in user specification with different ``--hash`` options, only hashes that present in all specifications should be allowed
