Hello,
This is for python projects.
Today, May 4th, urllib3 https://pypi.org/project/urllib3/#history has released a new major version 2.0.2 which breaks the extremely popular requests https://pypi.org/project/requests/ library.
The fix is to pin urllib3<2 to prevent the new major version from being installed (example https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/integration/config/+/915736/1/tox.ini).

For the general case of Python projects, I’d argue that a better solution is to adopt the lockfile pattern (package-lock.json, composer.lock, Cargo.lock, etc.) and pin *all* dependencies, and only update them when the new versions have been tested and are known to work. pip-tools https://pypi.org/project/pip-tools/ can help with that, for example ( requirements.in specifies “loose” dependencies; pip-compile creates a pinned requirements.txt; pip-sync installs it; pip-compile -U upgrades requirements.txt later; you check both requirements.in and requirements.txt into version control.) But I don’t know if that applies in your integration/config case.

You can also create an empty virtual env, install all requirements and then do pip freeze > requirements.txt
That should take care of pinning

Poetry is a modern lockfile-based packaging and dependency management tool worth looking into. It also supports exporting dependencies into a requirements.txt file, should you need that (nice if you want to containerize an app without bloating the image with Poetry, for instance).

Tangent: is it worthwhile to establish a consensus for best practices with package pinning and package management for Python projects in the Wikimedia ecosystem? When I last worked on a python project (https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Add_Link) I found it confusing that we have so many different tools and approaches for doing these things, and seems like we'd benefit from having a standard, supported way. (Or maybe that already exists and I haven't found it?)

For Java, we run an instance of Archiva: https://archiva.wikimedia.org/
It's not a perfect approach but I think we can and should move in that direction with all our other ecosystems (python, Javascript, PHP). Our reduction in security-relevant surface area alone would be worth it.

I'm working on an "Essential Tools for Managing Python Development Environments https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pl6QCDWGebGjRrHixgQNES8qRf-8PCzwLSsFj7jI1HY/edit#heading=h.i5ou2ywgmb09" tutorial that will be published to the wikis when ready. Maybe that could be expanded upon? In my experience though, it can be hard to get people to agree on following a standard, especially when there are so many different options and many folks already have their favorite tools and workflows. But it would be nice to have a set of recommendations to reduce the cognitive load.

Having something like that on wiki would be great. Thanks for working on it!

Tangent: is it worthwhile to establish a consensus for best practices
with package pinning and package management for Python projects in the Wikimedia ecosystem? Yes! That would be awesome. I have spent a lot of time floundering in this area trying to make decisions; it'd be nice if we had a good guideline established.

Poetry is a modern lockfile-based packaging and dependency management
tool worth looking into Poetry was nice, but I found that it wasn't as comprehensive (yet?) as ye old setuptools based stuff. I can't quite recall what, but I think it was around support for datafiles and scripts? But, this was 1.5 years ago so maybe things are better now.
Thank you!

For the general case of Python projects, I’d argue that a better solution is to adopt the lockfile pattern (package-lock.json, composer.lock, Cargo.lock, etc.) and pin *all* dependencies, and only update them when the new versions have been tested and are known to work. pip-tools https://pypi.org/project/pip-tools/ can help with that, for example (requirements.in specifies “loose” dependencies; pip-compile creates a pinned requirements.txt; pip-sync installs it; pip-compile -U upgrades requirements.txt later; you check both requirements.in and requirements.txt into version control.) But I don’t know if that applies in your integration/config case.

Hello,
This is for python projects.
Today, May 4th, urllib3 https://pypi.org/project/urllib3/#history has released a new major version 2.0.2 which breaks the extremely popular requests https://pypi.org/project/requests/ library.
The fix is to pin urllib3<2 to prevent the new major version from being installed (example https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/integration/config/+/915736/1/tox.ini ).

But now I'm curious about how conda enables running docker safely in
production. :)
It doesn't enable running docker, we just use packed conda envs instead of docker images. This only really works because we build and run the conda envs on the same OS. See conda-pack https://conda.github.io/conda-pack/.
We'd prefer to use docker if we could.

Tangent: is it worthwhile to establish a consensus for best practices
with package pinning and package management for Python projects in the Wikimedia ecosystem? Yes! That would be awesome. I have spent a lot of time floundering in this area trying to make decisions; it'd be nice if we had a good guideline established.
I'm working on an "Essential Tools for Managing Python Development
Environments https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pl6QCDWGebGjRrHixgQNES8qRf-8PCzwLSsFj7jI1HY/edit#heading=h.i5ou2ywgmb09" tutorial Awesome! Did you consider conda envs? FWIW, we rely on conda envs https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/data-engineering/workflow_utils#building-project-conda-distribution-environments in the Data Engineering world to work around the lack of ability to securely run docker images in production. We didn't try pyenv, mainly because conda gets us more than just python :)
Poetry is a modern lockfile-based packaging and dependency management
tool worth looking into Poetry was nice, but I found that it wasn't as comprehensive (yet?) as ye old setuptools based stuff. I can't quite recall what, but I think it was around support for datafiles and scripts? But, this was 1.5 years ago so maybe things are better now.
Thank you!

When I last worked on a python project ( https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Add_Link) I found it confusing that we have so many different tools and approaches for doing these things, and seems like we'd benefit from having a standard, supported way. (Or maybe that already exists and I haven't found it?)

Maybe that could be expanded upon? In my experience though, it can be hard to get people to agree on following a standard, especially when there are so many different options and many folks already have their favorite tools and workflows. But it would be nice to have a set of recommendations to reduce the cognitive load.
