package data in subdirectory causes warning #3340

Hi @isuruf thank you for bringing this subject for discussion. This change (and the warning) was intentional, so in the future we will be able to solve a related problem with Since PEP 420, there is no way for really differentiating a folder from a package in Python... People that install pyopencl will be able to successfully run Would it possible for you guys to use |
|
I'm facing the same problem, and I'm not clear on the nature of the change suggested by @abravalheri. Are you saying that directories in the package hierarchy that contain only data files and no Python code should be included in the project's list of packages despite not actually being Python packages? |

Hi @jwodder, thank you very much for the input. Please find my comments bellow:
I think that this assumption1 no longer holds. According to PEP 420, rm -rf /tmp/example
mkdir -p /tmp/example/mypkg1
touch /tmp/example/mypkg1/file.txt
mkdir -p /tmp/example/mypkg2/subpkg
touch /tmp/example/mypkg2/__init__.py
touch /tmp/example/mypkg2/subpkg/file.txt
python3.10>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("/tmp/example")
>>> import mypkg1
>>> mypkg1
<module 'mypkg1' (<_frozen_importlib_external._NamespaceLoader object at 0x7f3683fac2e0>)>
>>> mypkg1.__path__
_NamespacePath(['/tmp/example/mypkg1'])
>>> mypkg1.__loader__.is_package('mypkg1')
>>> import mypkg2.subpkg
>>> mypkg2.subpkg.__path__
_NamespacePath(['/tmp/example/mypkg2/subpkg'])
>>> mypkg2.subpkg.__loader__.is_package('mypkg2.subpkg')
TrueNote in this example that both Moreover, the ecosystem also considers those folders, as demonstrated by the implementation of >>> import importlib.resources
>>> importlib.resources.contents('mypkg1')
['file.txt']
>>> importlib.resources.contents('mypkg2.subpkg')
['file.txt']I understand that not all tools in the ecosystem embrace PEP 420 by default and that sometimes it might be frustrating to see tools evolving some interfaces evolving. That is the reason why I decided to add a deprecation warning first and a transition period, instead of simply changing things in a major version bump. This change in setuptools was implemented due to a single, very pragmatic, objective: to fix internal inconsistencies (as presented in #3260), which are caused by this division between packages and directories that don't contain Python code (which is not a division recognized by Python's import system). For the time being, I don't plan on removing the deprecation warning, since the only way I know how to fix the internal inconsistencies requires us to eliminate this arbitrary division. However if anyone in the community finds a different way of solving the problem and are willing to provide a backward-compatible PR, I am more than happy to consider an alternative. Footnotes

@abravalheri So you are saying that "data-only packages" should be included in the project's list of packages? Is that the only change you're currently recommending to authors of such projects? Does it matter whether the data files are included via |

Yes, I recommend adding all the sub-directories to the list of packages, even if they only include data files. On the bright side that can be done with It should make no difference if you are using |

Do you have a suggestion about how to improve the warning message to make it more clear? |

Thank you very much @cdfarrow, this suggestion looks good to me. I will implement it probably later this week. |

How about the case where we want *.py files in a subdirectory included as data files? This occurs in a couple projects for me that define a plug-in interface. Basically there are a couple python files in a package subdirectory that I provide as examples of plug-in implementation. These are also loaded through the common plug-in interface via importlib. Will the inclusion as a namespace package still work in this case? Anything special to be aware of? If it makes a difference, I'm using the MANIFEST.in method with include_package_data=True. Also, I created this SO question about this issue when I first encountered it. I guess I should have come here first! :) |

Hi @mhkline. The warning is not about the files themselves, but about the directory. Since PEP 420, effectively all directories are packages regardless of containing a If you want the directory to be included in the distribution, you can include it via the |

Note that this is largely nonsensical. Ideally, a project subdirectory
containing *no* standard ``"__init__.py"`` file would be transparently treated
by both Python itself and :mod:`setuptools` as an unimportable non-package
directory rather than an importable package. Ideally, *only* directories
containing ``"__init__.py"`` files would be treated as importable packages.
Sadly, :pep:`420` (i.e., "Implicit Namespace Packages") fundamentally broke this
reasonable expectation by unconditionally forcing *all* project subdirectories
to be importable packages regardless of developer wants, needs, or expectations.
:mod:`setuptools` now "complies" with this nonsense by requiring that data
directories by explicitly listed as namespace packages. Of course, data
directories are *not* namespace packages -- but nobody in either the official
PyPA or CPython communities appears to care. If this is *not* done,
:mod:`setuptools` now emits one deprecation warning for each data subdirectory
and file resembling:
Installing '{data_path}' as data is deprecated, please list it in `packages`.
Lastly, note that we could also avoid this unctuous list comprehension
altogether by simply replacing the above call to
:func:`setuptools.find_packages` with
:func:`setuptools.find_namespace_packages`. Then why do we not do so? Because
doing so would make things even worse. Why? Because then :mod:`setuptools` would
erroneously match *all* subdirectories of this root repository directory as
importable packages to be installed -- including obviously irrelevant root
subdirectories like ``"{package_name}.egg-info"``, ``".github"``, ``".github"``,
``"doc"``, and ``"pip-wheel-metadata"``. Since the set of all such
subdirectories frequently changes with upstream revisions beyond our control,
explicitly specifying this set by listing these ignorable subdirectories in an
``exclude`` parameter is infeasible. In short, this is the least bad thing.

Hi @leycec, I understand you're frustrated with the changes here, but please try be more more respectful and considerate in your communication in the future. As a project of the PyPA, everyone in this issue tracker is expected to follow the Python Community Code of Conduct. The expectation is that everyone interacting here should be courteous when raising issues and disagreements. Specifically, calling the setuptools maintainers "insane lunatics" is unacceptable: it's not constructive, it's not welcoming or inclusive, and it easily qualifies as harassment. Additionally, your previous comments in this issue tracker ("Heads need rolling (especially those currently attached to the still-functioning torsos of managerial project leads)") is a clear example of violent language directed against another person, and is also unacceptable. In short: we don't do this here. You are welcome to continue participating in this project, but if you continue to violate the code of conduct here, you will no longer be permitted to participate. |

@abravalheri hey, I skimmed through the comments above and I think I may have a case that hasn't been brought up explicitly (apologies if I missed something!) It's about directories that aren't supposed to end up in wheels and be installed, but should be in sdists. Specifically, In aio-libs/multidict#829 somebody suggested listing that as a package, which doesn't appear to be a correct solution due to the reasons I mentioned above. Do you have any go-to suggestion for suppressing the warning in such cases? |
UPD: turned out that it was @abravalheri I think that adding a hint suggesting to delete In my case, a more straightforward suggestion would've made it clearer what to do, because I wasn't the one to set up initial packaging in the project and had to attempt figuring out how and why things were set up that way.

I appreciate your efforts to solve what is a quite challenging situation due to recent changes (PEP 420). You said very clearly early in this issue: "Since PEP 420, there is no way for really differentiating a folder from a package in Python." But this problematic new state is not one that developers should learn to live with, they should not be compelled to adopt insecure quick fixes. The packaging distinction between code and data should be preserved. Because to do otherwise, to conflate between the two, and to make data executable by default, is to introduce additional security risks and to basically undermine the concept of having an "api". The proposed fix which resolves the deprecation is apparently to use In my current project which wraps a third party library. The directory structure is slightly more complex to accommodate two build variants: a default dynamically-linked build and an optional statically-linked build variant. The default build's code is in Within the The relevant part of # ...

The only problem I have is the deprecation warning and the fact that I'm put off by the proposed solution to use May I suggest that the deprecation warning be dropped or even abbreviated somewhat until the data / code packaging distinction can be restored and preserved by some new PEP or other. It makes no sense to promote solutions, in the interim, which incorrectly conflate the two. S |

Hi @shakfu, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. Please see my comments below:
Please note that the "directory is a package" behaviour introduced in PEP 420 is actually quite old. The PEP has been approved in 19/Apr/2012 and the specified behaviour implemented in Python 3.3, over 10 years ago which is a lot in "software development years".
Could you please clarify in what sense the solutions presented in the warning message are insecure?
I understand that this is a popular interpretation of what the concept of packages (and/or namespace packages) might mean for Python and I see where it comes from. But I don't think this interpretation is backed by the Python implementation and the way it works... You can
If these non-Python files are not meant to be installed in the end-user's machine, I believe it is a matter of properly configuring If you really don't like the idea of having these directories as importable packages, then the alternative is to use
I think that simply dropping the warning would be unwise. We need users to start clarifying their configuration, because the next step is to fix other related bugs (see #3340 (comment)), and it would be bad if suddenly some folders are missing from packages. I don't know of anyone currently attempting to introduce a data / code distinction (and what that will mean for Python packages and import system) via a new PEP. Personally, I like the status quo and I think it works quite well. Since there is no concrete plans for such change in the ecosystem, there is no foreseeable risk of conflation, and we don't need to treat this situation as "interim". As far as we know this is the stable behaviour that we should be targetting to achieve after 10 years of transition. There is another approach2 that I have absolute no problems in considering and actually would welcome with open arms: if a member of the community is willing to contribute (i.e. design, discuss, find consensus, implement, document, fix, support ...) a different way of configuring setuptools that is more conceptually self-evident and less prone to ambiguity than It is a tough challenge which I don't have the resources to tackle myself, but I would be very grateful if someone else can.

That is nice idea. Depending on what the developer is trying to achieve that will indeed solve the problem. Currently the message does mention But probably that can be rephrased to be more clear. Would you like to give it a shot?
I understand that, but unfortunately there is no single fix for all scenarios. For some people And that is the problem with the ambiguous1 configuration, Footnotes

Hi @abravalheri, appreciate your extended and thoughtful reply to my early post (please see my comments below):
I've been working in Python since a little bit before version 1.5.2, so this is certainly not new to me. Nonetheless, I admittedly did not express myself clearly: I have no issue with the principle of "directory is a package" or that packages are importable. This is fundamental to Python since way back. I'm also happy with having a def get_package_resources() -> tuple[str, str, str, str]:
"""provides the paths of package architecture and library folders."""
resources = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "resources")
archs = os.path.join(resources, "architecture")
libs = os.path.join(resources, "libraries")
return ("-A", archs, "-I", libs)
PACKAGE_RESOURCES = get_package_resources()After reading your prior reply, I appreciate that the current situation (and your understanding of it) is a lot more nuanced than I previously considered, and that the confusion is probably stemming from a couple of things here: 1. My failure to understand the full implications of PEP 420 Namespace Packages: This PEP makes everything in a package potentially importable, even when that is not the intent! For a hypothetical example in my project, a user of my package can (currently) import a python file that is only intended to be used as a template. But due to PEP 420, this is possible: from cyfaust.resources.architecture.templates import abctemplate Now, this can be prevented by renaming So now this is impossible: from cyfaust.pkg-resources.architecture.templates import abctemplate I did not realize that this was the default situation now... and it has nothing to do with setuptools. That's my bad. 2. The Documentation + the Deprecation + the Multiplicity of Configuration options + Different ways of doing the same thing are confusing: In my case, this is how I tried to resolve the deprecation:
setup(
name='cyfaust',
version=VERSION,
ext_modules=cythonize(
extensions,
language_level="3",
),
packages=['cyfaust'],
package_dir = {"cyfaust": "src/cyfaust"},
include_package_data=True
)Then I saw the deprecation notice, and to figure out how to resolve it I read the relevant datafiles section of the setuptools documentation. I chose the initial recommended This led to the following: setup(
name='cyfaust',
version=VERSION,
ext_modules=cythonize(
extensions,
language_level="3",
),
packages=find_packages(where="src"),
package_dir = {"cyfaust": "src/cyfaust"},
include_package_data=True
)And it works, it produces the same outcomes as my prior working case, but... the deprecation notice is still there. So after some further reading and research on the web, the advice is use I naively just changed setup(
name='cyfaust',
version=VERSION,
ext_modules=cythonize(
extensions,
language_level="3",
),
packages=find_namespace_packages(where="src"),
package_dir = {"cyfaust": "src/cyfaust"},
include_package_data=True
)and then I get an error: running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'static' does not existAt this point the frustration of palpable. All I want to do is specify a subdirectory of my package as a data directory to be included in whole. The more complex way in this method is to add a At this stage, I decide to just live with the deprecation! You asked for suggestions on how to improve this api. Here are my two cents: Ideally it should be as simple as something like this: setup(
name='cyfaust',
version=VERSION,
ext_modules=cythonize(
extensions,
language_level="3",
),
packages = {
'cyfaust': {
'path': "src/cyfaust",
'data_dirs': ["cyfaust/pkg-resources"],
}
}
)or just: setup(
name='cyfaust',
version=VERSION,
ext_modules=cythonize(
extensions,
language_level="3",
),
packages=['cyfaust'],
package_dir = {"cyfaust": "src/cyfaust"},
include_package_data=True
)In the above ideal cases, MANIFEST.in or similar is only configured if you need more granular control over what is included or excluded. It is not required in the simplest case where you want everything included. |

As an addendum to my last post I finally found a way to remove the deprecation warning. I could not get it done with setup(
name='cyfaust',
version=VERSION,
ext_modules=cythonize(

),
package_dir = {"cyfaust": "src/cyfaust"},
packages = [
