Changelog¶
Version 3.5.0¶
In this release, test coverage is 74%.
💥 New features:
New Sphinx autodoc extension:
Allows to document dataset classes and functions using Sphinx directives, thus generating a comprehensive documentation for datasets with labels, descriptions, default values, etc.
The extension is available in the
guidata.dataset.autodoc
moduleDirectives:
autodataset
: document a dataset classautodataset_create
: document a dataset creation functiondatasetnote
: add a note explaining how to use a dataset
BoolItem
/TextItem
: add support for callbacks when the item value changes
🛠️ Bug fixes:
Documentation generation: automatic requirement table generation feature was failing when using version conditions in the
pyproject.toml
file (e.g.pyqt5 >= 5.15
).Issue #72 - unit test leave files during the build usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/test.json
Issue #73 -
ChoiceItem
radio buttons are duplicated when using callbacks
Version 3.4.1¶
In this release, test coverage is 76%.
🛠️ Bug fixes:
Version 3.4.0¶
In this release, test coverage is 76%.
💥 New features:
dataset.io.h5fmt.HDF5Reader.read
method: added newdefault
argument to set default value for missing data in the HDF5 file (backward compatible). The default value ofdefault
isNoDefault
(a special value to indicate that no default value should be used, and that an exception should be raised if the data is missing).widgets.codeeditor.CodeEditor
: added newinactivity_timeout
argument to set the time (in milliseconds) to wait after the user has stopped typing before emitting theCodeEditor.SIG_EDIT_STOPPED
signal.Added
execenv.accept_dialogs
attribute to control whether dialogs should be automatically accepted or not (default isNone
, meaning no automatic acceptance): this allows more coverage of the test suite. For now, this attribute has only been proven useful intests/dataset/test_all_features.py
.Added unit tests for HDF5 and JSON serialization/deserialization:
Testing an arbitrary data model saved/loaded to/from HDF5 and JSON files, with various data sets and other data types.
Testing for backward compatibility with previous versions of the data model (e.g. new attributes, removed attributes, etc.)
⚠️ API breaking changes:
guidata.dataset.io
module is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please useguidata.io
instead. This change is backward compatible (the old module is still available and will be removed in a future release). The motivation for this change is to simplify the module structure and to help understand that the scope of theio
module is not limited todataset.DataSet
objects, but may be used for any kind of data serialization/deserialization.
📖 Documentation:
Added missing
DataSetEditDialog
andDataSetEditLayout
classesAdded missing inheritance/member details on some classes
Reduced table of contents depth in left sidebar for better readability
Version 3.3.0¶
In this release, test coverage is 72%.
💥 New features:
Array editor now supports row/column insertion/deletion:
Added
variable_size
argument tosetup_and_check
methodThe feature is disabled by default (backward compatible)
It supports standard arrays, masked arrays, record arrays and N-dimensional arrays
New dataset read-only mode:
Added
readonly
argument toDataSet
constructorThis is useful to create a dataset that will be displayed in read-only mode (e.g. string editing widgets will be in read-only mode: text will be selectable but not editable)
The items remain modifiable programmatically (e.g.
dataset.item = 42
)
New dataset group edit mode:
Added
mode
argument toDataSetGroup.edit
method, with the following options:mode='tabs'
(default): each dataset is displayed in a separate tabmode='table'
: all datasets are displayed in a single table
In the new table mode, the datasets are displayed in a single table with one row per dataset and one column per item
Clicking on a row will display the corresponding dataset in a modal dialog box
🛠️ Bug fixes:
Qt console:
Fixed
RuntimeError: wrapped C/C++ object of type DockableConsole has been deleted
when closing the console widget (parent widget, e.g. aQMainWindow
, was deleted) while an output stream is still writing to the console (e.g. alogging
handler which will flush the output stream when closing the application)This concerns all console-related widgets:
DockableConsole
,Console
,InternalShell
,PythonShellWidget
andShellBaseWidget
Code editor: fixed compatibility issue with PySide6 (
AttributeError: 'QFont' object has no attribute 'Bold'
)
Version 3.2.2¶
🛠️ Bug fixes:
Fixed translation support (
gettext
):Locale detection has been fixed in 3.1.1 (deprecation of
locale.getdefaultlocale
)However, on frozen distributions on Windows (e.g. with
pyinstaller
), functionlocale.getlocale
is returning(None, None)
instead of proper locale infosAdded a workaround: on Windows, if locale can’t be detected, we now use the Windows API to retrieve it (using the
GetUserDefaultLocaleName
function)Issue #68 - Windows: gettext translation is not working on frozen applications
Embedded Qt console:
Fixed default encoding detection on frozen applications on Windows
Issue #69 - Windows/Qt console: output encoding is not detected on frozen applications
Version 3.2.1¶
🛠️ Bug fixes:
Tests only:
qthelpers.close_widgets_and_quit
now ignores deleted widgets
💥 Changes:
dataset.ImageChoiceItem
anddataset.ButtonItem
: addedsize
argument to set the icon sizedataset.io
reader and writer classes: removed deprecatedwrite_unicode
method
Version 3.2.0¶
🛠️ Bug fixes:
Issue #67 - JSONReader/Deserializing object list: TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object is not subscriptable
💥 Changes:
qthelpers.qt_wait
: addedshow_message
andparent
arguments (backward compatible)qthelpers.qt_app_context
: removedfaulthandler
support (this need to be handled at the application level, see for example DataLab’s implementation)Disabled command line argument parsing in
guidata.env
module:The
guidata
library is parsing command line arguments for the purpose of creating the environment execution object namedexecenv
(seeguidata.env
module). This object is used to determine the execution environment mainly for testing purposes: for example, to bypass the Qt event loop when running tests thanks to the--unattended
command line option.However this argument parsing is not always desirable, for example when using
guidata
as a dependency in another library or application. This is why the parsing mechanism is now disabled by default, and may be enabled by setting the environment variableGUIDATA_PARSE_ARGS
to1
(or any other non-empty value). As of today, it is still unclear if there will be a need to enable this mechanism in the future, so this is why the environment variable is used instead of a function argument.
Removed deprecated
guidata.disthelpers
module (we recommend using PyInstaller instead)
Version 3.1.1¶
🛠️ Bug fixes:
‘Apply’ button state is now correctly updated when modifying one of the following items:
dataset.MultipleChoiceItem
dataset.dataitems.DictItem
dataset.dataitems.FloatArrayItem
Fixed minor deprecation and other issues related to locale
💥 Changes:
Removed
--unattended
command line option forpytest
:Before:
pytest --unattended guidata
(to run tests without Qt event loop)Now:
pytest guidata
(there is no use case for running tests with Qt event loop, so the--unattended
option was removed and the unattended mode is now the default)
Removed CHM documentation (obsolete format)
Version 3.1.0¶
⚠ Exceptionally, this release contains the following API breaking changes:
Moved
utils.update_dataset
todataset.conv.update_dataset
Moved
utils.restore_dataset
todataset.conv.restore_dataset
✔ API simplification (backward compatible):
Dataset items may now be imported from
guidata.dataset
instead ofguidata.dataset.dataitems
Dataset types may now be imported from
guidata.dataset
instead ofguidata.dataset.datatypes
Examples:
from guidata.dataset.dataitems import FloatItem
becomesfrom guidata.dataset import FloatItem
from guidata.dataset.datatypes import DataSet
becomesfrom guidata.dataset import DataSet
Or you may now write:
import guidata.dataset as gds class MyParameters(gds.DataSet): """My parameters""" freq = gds.FloatItem("Frequency", default=1.0, min=0.0, nonzero=True) amp = gds.FloatItem("Amplitude", default=1.0, min=0.0)
💥 New features:
New
dataset.create_dataset_from_dict
: create a dataset from a dictionary, using keys and values to create the dataset itemsNew
dataset.create_dataset_from_func
: create a dataset from a function signature, using type annotations and default values to create the dataset itemsdataset.dataitems.StringItem
:Added argument
password
to hide text (useful for passwords)Added argument
regexp
to validate text using a regular expression
dataset.dataitems.FileSaveItem
,dataset.dataitems.FileOpenItem
,dataset.dataitems.FilesOpenItem
anddataset.dataitems.DirectoryItem
: added argumentregexp
to validate file/dir name using a regular expressiondataset.dataitems.DictItem
: added support for HDF5 and JSON serializationdataset.io.h5fmt
anddataset.io.jsonfmt
: added support for lists and dictionnaries serialization

: replaced threading.Thread.isAlive (deprecated since Python 3.8)
Other changes:
DataSet.edit
,DataSet.view
andDataSetGroup.edit
: added missing argumentssize
andwordwrap
Documentation: added check-list before submitting a patch (see
contribute.rst
file)Fixed some typing annotations and docstrings, as well as Pylint false positives
Removed unused functions from
guidata.utils.encoding
module:transcode
getfilesystemencoding
Added missing docstrings and typing annotations in modules:

Other changes:
Issue #64 - Add guidata-tests.desktop file to repository
Version 3.0.3¶
Fixed project description:
This could be seen as a detail, but as this description text is used by PyPI, it is important to have a correct description.
Of course, nobody reads the description text, so it was not noticed since the first release of guidata v3.0.
Version 3.0.2¶
Bug fixes:
Pull Request #61 - Make the build reproducible, by @lamby
Issue #59 - [3.0.1] the doc is missing

Issue #58 - Test suite: missing dependencies (pandas, Pillow)
Modules
guidata.dataset.datatypes
andguidata.dataset.dataitems

). This was a regression introduced in version 3.0.0. A new unit test was added to prevent this kind of regression in the future.Fixed documentation generation
.readthedocs.yaml
file (Qt 5.15 was not installed on ReadTheDocs servers, causing documentation build to fail)
Other changes:

New features:
HDF5 serialization (HDF5 reader/writer):
Added context manager
Added convenience methods
read
andwrite

build_chm.bat: added support for Windows x64
Other changes:
dataset.qtwidgets:
QLabel widgets word wrapping is now disabled for read-only items and may be disabled for dataset comments: this is necessary because when the parent widget height is constrained, Qt is unexpectedly reducing the height of word-wrapped QLabel widgets below their minimum size, hence truncating their contents…
disthelpers:
raising an exception when the right version of Ms Visual C++ DLLs was not found
now creating the manifest and distributing from the redistribuable package installed in WinSxS

Other changes:
disthelpers: replaced almost all functions by a class named Distribution, and added support for cx_Freeze (module remains compatible with py2exe), see the new disthelpers test for more details (tests/dishelpers.py)
reorganized utils and configtools modules
Version 1.3.2¶
Since this version, guidata
is compatible with PyQt4 API #1 and API #2.
Please read carefully the coding guidelines which have been recently added to
the documentation.

qtwidgets.DockWidgetMixin: added method ‘setup_dockwidget’ to change dockwidget’s features, location and allowed areas after class instantiation
guidata.utils.utf8_to_unicode: translated error message in english
Add support for ‘int’ in hdf5 save function
guidata.dataset/Numeric items (FloatItem, IntItem): added option ‘unit’ (automatically add suffix ‘ (unit)’ to label in edit mode and suffix ‘ unit’ to value in read-only mode)
Improved dataset str method: code refactoring with read-only dataset widgets (DataItem: added methods ‘format_string’ and ‘get_string_value’, DataSet: added method ‘to_string’)
Added coding guidelines to the documentation

Bugfix/tests: always keep a reference to the QApplication instance
Other changes:
setup.py: added source archive download url
Tests: now creating real temporary files and cleaning up at exit
qtAllow a callback on LineEditWidget to notify about text changes (use set_prop(“display”, “callback”, callback))
