python packages not matching the esp-idf release #66

Closed mksafavi closed 1 month ago

mksafavi commented 1 month ago

I recently ran into a problem that was cause by the python packages not matching the versions included in the esp-idf release.

I also looked into the esp-idf.constraints files. I think the limits are too lax to get the same versions as the idf release. Do you think it would be better to match the python packages with a requirements.txt from the esp-idf docker containers?

Having a quick poke around the Dockerfile and what it does in esp-idf, it doesn't seem to have its own requirements.txt, it just calls $IDF_PATH/tools/idf_tools.py --non-interactive install-python-env, which seems to use the constraints file to resolve dependency versions. Did you find something more concrete?

I'm updating the Python packages again based on running pip install -r esp-idf/tools/requirements/requirements.core.txt --constraint=espidf.constraints.v5.3.txt --dry-run. But that still depends on the state of packages on PyPI.

If we could download a prebuilt docker container and query what versions it has, maybe that would work? Ideally Espressif would publish an exact requirements file, but even then we would still need to get the hashes for Nix, but it might make it easier?

Also see #25.

Actually, maybe we should move the conversation there - both issues are about matching Python packages to ESP-IDF versions.
