pydpkg 1.9.3

Description:

pydpkg 1.9.3

python-dpkg
This library can be used to:


read and extract control data from Debian-format package files, even
on platforms that generally lack a native implementation of dpkg


compare dpkg version strings, using a pure Python implementation of
the algorithm described in section 5.6.12 of the debian-policy manual:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#version


Parse debian source description (dsc) files, inspect their contents
and verify that their source files are present and checksums are
correct.


This is primarily intended for use on platforms that do not normally
ship python-apt due to
licensing restrictions or the lack of a native libapt.so (e.g. macOS)
Currently only tested on CPython 3.x, but at least in theory should run
on any python distribution that can install the arpy
library.
Note: python 2.7 compatibility was removed in version 1.4.0 and the v1.3
branch is no longer being maintained. This means that among other issues,
support for zstandard-compressed deb packages will not be available on
py27 -- consider this impetus to upgrade if you have not already.
Installing
Install the 'pydpkg' package from PyPi using
the pip tool:
$ pip install pydpkg

Successfully installed pydpkg-1.1

Developing
python-dpkg uses Poetry to manage its dependencies.
The Makefile will attempt to set up a reasonable build/test
environment on both macOS/Darwin and more traditional unixes (linux, freebsd,
etc), but relies on the existence of pyenv,
pyenv-virtualenv everywhere and
Homebrew on macOS. You don't need to use the workflow
that the makefile enforces (modern versions of pip
will happily digest pyproject.toml files and you can run the test commands
manually) but please ensure all tests pass before submitting PRs.
Usage
Binary Packages
Read and extract headers
>>> from pydpkg import Dpkg
>>> dp = Dpkg('/tmp/testdeb_1:0.0.0-test_all.deb')

>>> dp.headers
{'maintainer': u'Climate Corp Engineering <[email protected]>', 'description': u'testdeb\n a bogus debian package for testing dpkg builds', 'package': u'testdeb', 'section': u'base', 'priority': u'extra', 'installed-size': u'0', 'version': u'1:0.0.0-test', 'architecture': u'all'}

>>> print(dp)

Get the components of the package version
>>> d.epoch
1
>>> d.upstream_version
u'0.0.0'
>>> d.debian_revision
u'test'

Get an arbitrary control header, case-independent
>>> d.version
u'1:0.0.0-test'

>>> d.VERSION
u'1:0.0.0-test'

>>> d.description
u'testdeb\n a bogus debian package for testing dpkg builds'

>>> d.get('nosuchheader', 'default')
'default'

Compare current version to a candidate version
>>> dp.compare_version_with('1.0')
1

>>> dp.compare_version_with('1:1.0')
-1

Compare two arbitrary version strings
>>> from pydpkg import Dpkg
>>> ver_1 = '0:1.0-test1'
>>> ver_2 = '0:1.0-test2'
>>> Dpkg.compare_versions(ver_1, ver_2)
-1

Use as a key function to sort a list of version strings
>>> from pydpkg import Dpkg
>>> sorted(['0:1.0-test1', '1:0.0-test0', '0:1.0-test2'] , key=Dpkg.compare_versions_key)
['0:1.0-test1', '0:1.0-test2', '1:0.0-test0']
