Using third-party Python packages
|
||
=================================
|
||
|
||
When using third-party Python packages, there are two options:
|
||
|
||
#. Install/use a vendored version of the package.
|
||
#. Install the package from a package index, such as PyPI or our internal
|
||
mirror.
|
||
|
||
Vendoring Python packages
|
||
=========================
|
||
|
||
If the Python package is to be used in the building of Firefox itself, then we
|
||
**MUST** use a vendored version. This ensures that to build Firefox we only
|
||
require a checkout of the source, and do not depend on a package index. This
|
||
ensures that building Firefox is deterministic and dependable, avoids packages
|
||
from changing out from under us, and means we’re not affected when 3rd party
|
||
services are offline. We don't want a DoS against PyPI or a random package
|
||
maintainer removing an old tarball to delay a Firefox chemspill.
|
||
|
||
Where possible, the following policy applies to **ALL** vendored packages:
|
||
|
||
* Vendored libraries **SHOULD NOT** be modified except as required to
|
||
successfully vendor them.
|
||
* Vendored libraries **SHOULD** be released copies of libraries available on
|
||
PyPI.
|
||
|
||
Using a Python package index
|
||
============================
|
||
|
||
If the Python package is not used in the building of Firefox then it can be
|
||
installed from a package index. Some tasks are not permitted to use external
|
||
resources, and for those we can publish packages to an internal PyPI mirror.
|
||
See `how to upload to internal PyPI <https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/How_To/Upload_to_internal_Pypi>`_
|
||
for more details. If you are not restricted, you can install packages from PyPI
|
||
or another package index.
|
||
|
||
All packages installed from a package index **MUST** specify hashes to ensure
|
||
compatibility and protect against remote tampering. Hash-checking mode can be
|
||
forced on when using ``pip`` be specifying the ``--require-hashes``
|
||
command-line option. See `hash-checking mode <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#hash-checking-mode>`_ for
|
||
more details.
|
||
|
||
Note that when using a Python package index there is a risk that the service
|
||
could be unavailable, or packages may be updated or even pulled without notice.
|
||
These issues are less likely with our internal PyPI mirror, but still possible.
|
||
If this is undesirable, then consider vendoring the package.
