My schoolyear is coming to an end, with some final assignments -and group projects left to be done. I for sure underestimated the workload -of these and in the last (and probably next) few days I'm drowning in work -trying to meet my deadlines. - -One project that might be remotely relevant is [cheese-shop][], which tries to -manage the metadata of packages from the real [Cheese Shop][]. Other than that, -schoolwork is draining a lot of my time and I can't remember the last time -I came up with something new for my GSoC project )-; - -## Warm Water - -On the bright side, I received a lot of help and encouragement -from contributors and stakeholders of `pip`. In the last week alone, -I had five pull requests merged: - -* {{pip 8332}}: Add license requirement to `_vendor/README.rst` -* {{pip 8320}}: Add utilities for parallelization -* {{pip 8504}}: Parallelize `pip list --outdated` and `--uptodate` -* {{pip 8411}}: Refactor `operations.prepare.prepare_linked_requirement` -* {{pip 8467}}: Add utitlity to lazily acquire wheel metadata over HTTP - -In addition to helping me getting my PRs merged, my mentor Pradyun Gedam -also gave me my first official feedback, including what I'm doing right -(and wrong too!) and what I should keep doing to increase the chance of -the project being successful. - -{{pip 7819}}'s roadmap (Danny McClanahan's discoveries and works on lazy wheels) -is being closely tracked by `hatch`'s maintainter Ofek Lev, which really -makes me proud and warms my heart, that what I'm helping build is actually -needed by the community! - -## Learning How To Swim - -With {{pip 8467}} and {{pip 8530}} merged, I'm now working on {{pip 8532}} -which aims to roll out the lazy wheel as the way to obtain -dependency information via the CLI flag `--use-feature=lazy-wheel`. - -{{pip 8532}} was failing initially, despite being relatively trivial and that -the commit it used to base on was passing. Surprisingly, after rebasing it -on top of {{pip 8530}}, it suddenly became green mysteriously. After the first -(early) review, I was able to iterate on my earlier code, which used -the ambiguous exception `RuntimeError`. - -The rest to be done is *just* adding some functional tests (I'm pretty sure -this will be either overwhelming or underwhelming) to make sure that -the command-line flag is working correctly. Hopefully this can make it into -the beta of the upcoming release {{pip 8511 "this month"}}. - - - -In other news, I've also submitted {{pip 8538 "a patch improving the tests -for the parallelization utilities"}}, which was really messy as I wrote them. -Better late than never! - -Metaphors aside, I actually can't swim d-: - -## Diving Plan - -After {{pip 8532}}, I think I'll try to parallelize downloads of wheels -that are lazily fetched only for metadata. By the current implementation -of the new resolver, for `pip install`, this can be injected directly -between the resolution and build/installation process. - -[cheese-shop]: https://github.com/McSinyx/cheese-shop -[Cheese Shop]: https://pypi.org |
