Overview

Package python resolves CPython releases from the official python.org downloads API. The API is a single, anonymous JSON array of every release, each carrying a publication date (so cooldown applies) and a prerelease flag, with the version embedded in a "Python X.Y.Z" name.

The version's "Python " prefix is stripped and the result parsed to canonical semver, which restores the dash a python.org prerelease omits (3.15.0b3 -> 3.15.0-b3) so it orders and scheme-matches like any other prerelease.

Types

type Option

type Option func(*Provider)

Option configures a Provider.

func WithTransport

func WithTransport(rt http.RoundTripper) Option

WithTransport overrides the HTTP transport, for tests.

type Provider

type Provider struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Provider resolves CPython versions from python.org's public, unauthenticated downloads API. The API is a single JSON array of every release, so the provider fetches it once and lets the framework own selection; it lists candidates and tags each with the publication date the API returns for free, which cooldown consumes.

func New

func New(opts ...Option) *Provider

New returns the Python provider. The downloads API is public and publishes no rate-limit headers, so the client is a plain cached one with no ratelimit wrapper or credentials.

func (*Provider) Dated

func (p *Provider) Dated()

Dated marks the listing as date-bearing: every release carries a publication date, so cooldown applies.

func (*Provider) Describe

func (p *Provider) Describe(r provider.Resource) string

Describe returns a human-readable label for a resource.

func (*Provider) Discover

func (p *Provider) Discover(ctx context.Context, r provider.Resource) ([]model.Candidate, error)

Discover lists candidate CPython versions, reading the downloads API in one fetch. The API returns the whole release history in a single response, so there is no pagination and nothing is ever left unread - --deep has no work to do here.

func (*Provider) Keys

func (p *Provider) Keys() []provider.Key

Keys reports the directive keys the provider accepts. python.org needs none of its own: the whole listing arrives in one fetch and it publishes no per-platform options.

func (*Provider) Name

func (p *Provider) Name() string

Name identifies the provider.

func (*Provider) Resource

func (p *Provider) Resource(_ directive.Directive) (provider.Resource, error)

Resource validates a directive into a Python resource. python.org takes no provider-specific keys, so every directive resolves to the same descriptor.

func (*Provider) URL

func (p *Provider) URL(r provider.Resource, c model.Candidate) string

URL builds the release page for a resolved candidate from its python.org slug (e.g. python-3146 -> .../downloads/release/python-3146/). It is empty when the slug is absent - the synthesized current-version candidate carries no Meta, so only a discovered candidate links.
