 Posted: Wed Nov 27, 2024 3:49 pm Post subject: how to get ebuild package information from python? |
 |
|
https://github.com/pkgcore/pkgcore/discussions/439
I am writing a language server for gentoo ebuild and hope to complete package name. For example, user input app-editors/n will complete app-editors/neovim and app-editors/nano . Is there a python API like get_ebuild_information('app-editors/n') and return a list like | Code: | | [{"name": "app-editors/neovim", "version": "0.10.0", "description": "XXX"}, ...] |
?
Not only pkgcore, portage or eix or gentoolkit or portageutils is OK if they provide enough API.
TIA! |

Here is a Portage implementation
| Code: | import portage
def get_package_completions(partial_name):
db = portage.db[portage.root]["porttree"].dbapi
matches = db.cp_all()
# Filter matches based on partial name
filtered = [cp for cp in matches if cp.startswith(partial_name)]
results = []
for cp in filtered:
# Get the latest version
versions = db.cp_list(cp)
if versions:
latest = versions[-1]
metadata = db.aux_get(latest, ["DESCRIPTION"])
results.append({
"name": cp,
"version": portage.versions.cpv_getversion(latest),
"description": metadata[0]
})
return results
# Example usage:
completions = get_package_completions("app-editors/n") |
And here is a pkgcore[/i] implimentation
| Code: | from pkgcore.config import load_config
from pkgcore.repository.util import get_virtual_repos
def get_package_completions_pkgcore(partial_name):
config = load_config()
repo = get_virtual_repos(config.objects["repo-stack"].repos)
results = []
for pkg in repo:
if pkg.key.startswith(partial_name):
results.append({
"name": pkg.key,
"version": str(pkg.version),
"description": pkg.description
})
return results
# Example usage:
completions = get_package_completions_pkgcore("app-editors/n") |
I would choose to use portage since 92% of it is in python and its always available on Gentoo systems, as for pkgcore, it tends to be faster but might need to be installed separately
