serious_python 0.8.4

A cross-platform plugin for adding embedded Python runtime to your Flutter apps.

0.8.4

• Copy site-packages/flutter contents to SERIOUS_PYTHON_FLUTTER_PACKAGES.
• Added SERIOUS_PYTHON_ALLOW_SOURCE_DISTRIBUTIONS variable to allow pip installing from source distributions.

0.8.3

• Remove PYTHONOPTIMIZE=2 to make CFFI work.

0.8.2

• Copy .so libraries from {site-packages}/opt to jniLibs.

0.8.1

• Remove --only-binary when packaging for desktop platforms (#112)
• Fixed: only pass string args ('script') if they are not null. (#77)
• Fixed: script set as empty string to fix windows build error (#83)

0.8.0

• Not based on Kivy!
• Fast packaging uses pre-built Python binary packages hosted on https://pypi.flet.dev and https://pypi.org. If a binary package for specific platform/arch is not found the packaging process does not make an attempt to compile it, but just exits with a meaningful error.
• To package for iOS and Android developer should set SERIOUS_PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES environment variable with a path to a temp directory for installed app packages. The contents of that directory is embedded into app bundle during app compilation. For macOS, Linux and Windows app packages are installed into __pypackages__ inside app package asset zip.
• Packaging command is not looking for requirements.txt or pyproject.toml anymore, but all requirements should be passed explicitly via --requirements option. The value of --requirements option is passed "as is" to pip command. For example, --requirements flet,numpy==2.1.1 install two requirements directly, or --requirements -r,requirements.txt installs deps from a file.
• MacOS packaging includes Python binaries for both arm64 and x86_64 architectures. Can limit to only one architecture with --arch option.
• New options to enable compilation and cleanup of app and packages .py files: --compile-app, --compile-packages and --cleanup.
• Packaging for web is no longer relied on a HTML document with links, but spawns its own PyPI-compatible server with links to Pyodide packages.
• Build python distributive is cached in Flutter's build directory, not temp, to avoid re-downloading on consequent re-packages.
• Web builds updated to Pyodide 0.26.2.
• Packages for iOS and Android are built with Mobile Forge.
• Python for all platforms is built with flet-dev/python-build and this CI job. Python distros for Dart and Mobile Forge uploaded to releases.
