pidiff - the Python interface diff tool

Build Status Coverage Status Maintainability

pidiff is a tool to detect and report on API changes between multiple versions of a Python module. It can be used as a testing tool to help a project follow the Semantic Versioning spec.

Examples

The pidiff command can install old and new package versions from PyPI and diff a module between versions, failing if SemVer is not used appropriately.

Here's an example of a diff finding some problems:

$ pidiff more-executors==1.15.0 more-executors==1.16.0
more_executors/_wrap.py:6: N220 function added: flat_bind
more_executors/retry.py:46: N450 ExceptionRetryPolicy now accepts unlimited keyword arguments
more_executors/retry.py:46: B330 argument in ExceptionRetryPolicy can no longer be passed positionally: max_attempts (was position 0)
more_executors/retry.py:133: N450 RetryExecutor now accepts unlimited keyword arguments
more_executors/retry.py:133: B130 method removed: new_default

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Major API changes were found; inappropriate for 1.15.0 => 1.16.0
New version should be equal or greater than 2.0.0

Public API was removed without a major bump of the package version; pidiff considers this an error and suggests the new minimum version number which should be set to accept these changes.

Here's an example of a diff reporting a successful result:

$ pidiff more-executors==1.11.0 more-executors==1.12.0
more_executors/flat_map.py:0: N210 module added: flat_map
more_executors/_executors.py:84: N230 method added: with_flat_map

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor API changes were found; appropriate for 1.11.0 => 1.12.0

Public API was added; since there was a minor bump of the package version, this is OK.
