Re: [Zope-dev] Recursive search of dependencies in z3c.autoinclude

2011-04-13 Thread Ethan Jucovy
Hey,

These sound good to me, as long as they're off by default, have tests, and
don't break existing behavior.

 includeDependencies
 package=.
 recursive=True
 ignore=zope.app.zcmlfiles ice.control
 /

 This not include packages `zope.app.zcmlfiles` and `ice.control`, but
 include their dependencies.

Does ignore= work on namespaces, or exact package names?  What would
happen if you did ignore=zope instead?  Either way, could you add a test
clarifying this behavior in dependency.txt?

 TODO:
 * Add ability for create autoconfigure.zcml file for decrease startup
time.

You mean, a static ZCML file that contains all the include directives that
z3c.autoinclude auto-includes, in the right order?  This is very cool --
I've always wanted to do this but never gotten around to it.

The version number in CHANGES.txt and setup.py should be changed to 0.4.0,
not 0.3.5 -- these are all new features.

Do you have commit rights to merge these?

 This looks up and includes all respective ZCML files of packages you
 declared to depend on in setup.py.
 This works recursive so that if packages in your setup.py depend on
 others the latters are looked up too
 and so on (and everything in the right order).

Maybe I've misunderstanding, but what's the advantage of making
IFoo(x) raise a LookupError instead of a TypeError?  I've tried to
follow the thread but I've been confused about this.  I do rely on
catching TypeErrors quite often in my code -- I had thought it was
intended as part of the API.

I like that treating it as typecasting instead of lookup blurs the
conceptual distinction between adapting x to IFoo and asserting x
implements IFoo directly -- when I actually want to know one or the
other I can use explicit adaptation or check providedBy.  In other
words I use IFoo(x) when I don't care whether IFoo(x) == x.

I suppose it's not a big deal but catching LookupErrors instead would
feel somewhat less semantic for the way I think about this.  But from
what I've caught of the larger thread it sounds like I'm in the
minority here.

  Zope 2.10 uses Zope 3.3 rather than Zope Toolkit.

   - I think that as a principle, dropping support for a Python version
 that's commonly used in our community, should be a decision that
 requires a strong argument *for*, not a strong argument *against*.

  - The Zope Tool Kit aims to be a bridge between our different
 communities, and possibly other communities that may want to consume
 Zope software (are all of those using Python 2.5?). That means that
 those of us who are not in a position to move to Python 2.5+ soon
 deserve to be heard. Of course, Plone's point of view shouldn't be
 overriding to other concerns, but see point 1.

  - If you count the Zope community as those who also maintain Zope 2,
 we need to recognise that there's been no viable way for Plone to get to
 Python 2.5 until now, and the other changes in 2.12 mean it's not
 feasible to upgrade to it in the 3.x series. This is nobody's fault, of
 course, but it does leave a chasm that'll only widen as time goes on.

  - Once the ZTK is decreed to no longer need to support Python 2.4, I
 suspect no new development on the Zope platform will bother with it
 either. That means users of Plone can't use these packages. That in turn
 deprives those Zope packages of testers and potential contributors.

  - We are using Zope 3.4+ packages successfully with Zope 2.10 right
 now. I don't see that the ZTK will be any different. In fact, ZTK should
 help here, because we're getting a saner dependency structure.

 The Plone community is working hard to move to Python 2.5, but reality
 is we won't get there for another 12-18 months, in part because Zope
 2.12 is only now entering alpha and incorporates a lot of other (good!)
 changes that we need more time to integrate and work out a migration
 story for.

+1

Speaking from the context of my own primary zopey project (Py2.4-only
OpenCore, which depends directly on Plone and increasingly on various zope.*
packages) and as a user of Plone, I hope that the main-line ZTK would
continue to support Py2.4 for a while longer.  Announcing a dropping Py2.4
support deadline of, say, a year from now would give those of us still on
Py2.4 time to prepare for that future, whether by getting our products onto
2.5 in time, or by gathering together a community to maintain 2.4-compatible
versions of the necessary packages.

I think that in the medium term, maintaining 2.4 support (at least during a
smooth transition period) could theoretically *lower* the ZTK maintenance
burden significantly -- for example if the Plone community has the ability
to experiment with newer versions of the ZTK or ZTK packages than Zope2,
this could provide forward momentum for Zope2's own ZTK dependency as the
results of those experiments feed back upstream to Zope2's stable KGS.

I know we're talking about unspecified future additions to a still fuzzy set
of packages, so, to be as concrete as possible, I've been increasingly
hoping to track at least zope.i18n development as closely as possible in
OpenCore, using the ZTK/Zope2/Plone KGSes as a baseline rather than a hard
requirement.  I've been looking forward to trying out other packages in that
context as well as the ZTK and dependency unravelling makes casual
experimentation easier.

 Ah, you're thinking in the same direction. I don't think there's any
 caching at all yet in autoinclude and that'd be the first
 thing I'd look at if I were to look into speeding it up. It's just I
 hadn't run into the pain point yet.

That's correct, there's no caching yet.  I haven't done any profiling
but I'm pretty sure that the pain-point algorithm is
z3c.autoinclude.utils.dependencyForDottedName.  Some sort of caching
ought be a huge help there; the function currently iterates over all
sys.path entries for each autoincludeDependencies directive found.
Specifically my guess is that utils.py's L81-85 is what would benefit
most from a cache, because that's where autoinclude actually peers
into the sys.path entries to look for packages.

 I'd really appreciate it if you could work with Dan to get performance
 data on autoinclude.

I'd be happy to! :)

Dan, what do you think?  The big reason I haven't tried any
optimizations yet is that I haven't found a situation with noticeable
slowdown that would let me measure any potential optimizations
meaningfully, but it sounds like you've already solved that
problem. :)  So I think the next step would be to reproduce that
situation and measure the execution time before and after we add that
caching strategy.  Or we could just profile the code rather than
relying on my guess.

 Yes, automation makes things more implicit. This is *not* an argument
 that can be used against any and all automation. An explicit
 includeDependencies directive will include the configure.zcml and
 meta.zcml of packages that are dependencies of that package. You make
 less mistakes this way (and it's very common to make the mistake to
 forget inclusion of some ZCML). It's also pretty rare to want to do
 otherwise in my experience (and there's always the exclude directive).

 I'd also argue auto-inclusion can actually help guard against
 dependency bugs, such as cases where a package tries to include ZCML
 it doesn't depend on (and works because some other package makes the
 dependency installed).

+1 on Martijn's points (unsurprisingly, as I'm one of his co-authors
on autoinclude ;)

I'll also add that z3c.autoinclude tries very hard to log its actions
in an easily traceable way, and I've been trying to build in more
debugging tools as well.

 slows down startup time for
 applications that uses many eggs.

 When claims like that are made, I'd like to see measurements that
 demonstrate significant slowdowns during startup. Undoubtedly more
 code is excuted than when you write out 'include' directives manually,
 but is the slowdown actually measurable?

I've heard this claim before and I'd also love to see some
measurements.  I haven't really had the time to do any myself, and in
my experience z3c.autoinclude hasn't slowed things down enough to
bother me.  But I may have an unusually high tolerance for slow-moving
code. :)

The slowest code in z3c.autoinclude is well isolated and is tested for
many edge cases, and I'm pretty sure there are obvious optimizations
that can be made without even rewriting it.  So improving the
execution speed should be quite easy and safe; it just hasn't been a
priority for me, and I'd prefer to get some measurements before trying
to tweak it.

 I'd like to see an option for
 packages that are using z3c.autoinclude to make autoincluding
 conditional, so those who doesn't like it or needs more control could
 just turn it off.

 That's asking for a feature that other packages that *don't* use
 autoinclude don't support! You lose control as soon as you include a
 package's configure.zcml. There's no difference with
 non-auto-inclusion here; [snip]

Re: [Zope-dev] z3c.autoinclude doesn't include extra_requires

2008-12-06 Thread Ethan Jucovy
Hey Christian,

I finally had a bit of time to sort out my Zope.org SVN credentials
and try to look into this ... but I'm actually not getting very far.

What I'm stumped on: is there any way to find out which extras have
been installed with a package?


The details:
The bad line is src/z3c/autoinclude/dependency.py#L22:
for req in self.context.requires():

(Here self.context is a distribution object, that of the module that
wants to includeDependencies.  We're about to look for ZCML files in
the packages of its dependencies.)

The pkg_resources documentation
(http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#distribution-objects)
explains:
 requires(extras=())
   List the Requirement objects that specify this distribution's dependencies. 
 If extras is specified, it should be a sequence
   of names of extras defined by the distribution, and the list returned 
 will then include any dependencies needed to
   support the named extras.

So in other words, L22 should look like:
+for req in
self.context.requires(extras=list_of_actively_installed_extras_for_the_distribution):

The problem is, I can't figure out how to figure out which extras are
actively installed.  (We don't want to pass in *all* of the
distribution's extras, because that might include *uninstalled* extras
-- which would mean we end up trying to include ZCML from packages
that we should not be, and that might not even be installed.)

Thanks,
Ethan

 Just to make a discussion Jens and I were having in the background explicit.

 While it's good if this appears in the Zope stack documentation site,  I
 think it's also important for there being a separate identity for the
 buildout project. This goes beyond documentation, but also talks about a
 developer community and invites people to use it in their own projects, as
 well as contribute. I also think an overview of recipes could be a good part
 of this.

 I think a separate website is part of such an identity. Other things that
 could help establish an identity are things like a logo.

I think this is a really fantastic idea.  To speak broadly, it's great
that you're so mindful of the real importance of identity -- in both a
branding sense and simply in the sense of being a self-contained
entity -- for the development of software communities and software
itself.  Buildout is a standalone product independent of the Zope
framework or libraries, but that's only meaningful if it actively
establishes an independent identity in people's minds.

I think you're doing a really great thing for the community by paying
attention to these issues.  So, in short, thanks.  :)

Cheers,
Ethan
