spack.util.archive module

class spack.util.archive.ChecksumWriter(fileobj, algorithm=hashlib.sha256)[source]

Bases: BufferedIOBase

Checksum writer computes a checksum while writing to a file.

close()[source]

Flush and close the IO object.

This method has no effect if the file is already closed.

property closed
fileno()[source]

Return underlying file descriptor if one exists.

Raise OSError if the IO object does not use a file descriptor.

flush()[source]

Flush write buffers, if applicable.

This is not implemented for read-only and non-blocking streams.

hexdigest()[source]
myfileobj
peek(n)[source]
read(size=-1)[source]

Read and return up to n bytes.

If the size argument is omitted, None, or negative, read and return all data until EOF.

If the size argument is positive, and the underlying raw stream is not ‘interactive’, multiple raw reads may be issued to satisfy the byte count (unless EOF is reached first). However, for interactive raw streams (as well as sockets and pipes), at most one raw read will be issued, and a short result does not imply that EOF is imminent.

Return an empty bytes object on EOF.

Return None if the underlying raw stream was open in non-blocking mode and no data is available at the moment.

read1(size=-1)[source]

Read and return up to size bytes, with at most one read() call to the underlying raw stream.

Return an empty bytes object on EOF. A short result does not imply that EOF is imminent.

readable()[source]

Return whether object was opened for reading.

If False, read() will raise OSError.

readline(size=-1)[source]

Read and return a line from the stream.

If size is specified, at most size bytes will be read.

The line terminator is always b’n’ for binary files; for text files, the newlines argument to open can be used to select the line terminator(s) recognized.

rewind()[source]
seek(offset, whence=io.SEEK_SET)[source]

Change the stream position to the given byte offset.

offset

The stream position, relative to ‘whence’.

whence

The relative position to seek from.

The offset is interpreted relative to the position indicated by whence. Values for whence are:

  • os.SEEK_SET or 0 – start of stream (the default); offset should be zero or positive

  • os.SEEK_CUR or 1 – current stream position; offset may be negative

  • os.SEEK_END or 2 – end of stream; offset is usually negative

Return the new absolute position.

seekable()[source]

Return whether object supports random access.

If False, seek(), tell() and truncate() will raise OSError. This method may need to do a test seek().

tell()[source]

Return current stream position.

writable()[source]

Return whether object was opened for writing.

If False, write() will raise OSError.

write(data)[source]

Write buffer b to the IO stream.

Return the number of bytes written, which is always the length of b in bytes.

Raise BlockingIOError if the buffer is full and the underlying raw stream cannot accept more data at the moment.

spack.util.archive.default_add_file(tar: TarFile, file_info: TarInfo, path: str) None[source]
spack.util.archive.default_path_to_name(path: str) str[source]

Converts a path to a tarfile name, which uses posix path separators.

spack.util.archive.gzip_compressed_tarfile(path: str) Generator[Tuple[TarFile, ChecksumWriter, ChecksumWriter], None, None][source]

Create a reproducible, gzip compressed tarfile, and keep track of shasums of both the compressed and uncompressed tarfile. Reproducibility is achieved by normalizing the gzip header (no file name and zero mtime).

Yields:

A tuple of three elements

spack.util.archive.reproducible_tarfile_from_prefix(tar: TarFile, prefix: str, *, include_parent_directories: bool = False, skip: Callable[[DirEntry], bool] = lambda entry: ..., path_to_name: Callable[[str], str] = default_path_to_name, add_file: Callable[[TarFile, TarInfo, str], None] = default_add_file, add_symlink: Callable[[TarFile, TarInfo, str], None] = default_add_link, add_hardlink: Callable[[TarFile, TarInfo, str], None] = default_add_link) None[source]

Create a tarball from a given directory. Only adds regular files, symlinks and dirs. Skips devices, fifos. Preserves hardlinks. Normalizes permissions like git. Tar entries are added in depth-first pre-order, with dir entries partitioned by file | dir, and sorted lexicographically, for reproducibility. Partitioning ensures only one dir is in memory at a time, and sorting improves compression.

Parameters:
  • tar – tarfile object opened in write mode

  • prefix – path to directory to tar (either absolute or relative)

  • include_parent_directories – whether to include every directory leading up to prefix in the tarball

  • skip – function that receives a DirEntry and returns True if the entry should be skipped, whether it is a file or directory. Default implementation does not skip anything.

  • path_to_name – function that converts a path string to a tarfile entry name, which should be in posix format. Not only is it necessary to transform paths in certain cases, such as windows path to posix format, but it can also be used to prepend a directory to each entry even if it does not exist on the filesystem. The default implementation drops the leading slash on posix and the drive letter on windows for absolute paths, and formats as a posix.

spack.util.archive.retrieve_commit_from_archive(archive_path, ref)[source]

Extract git data from an archive with out expanding it

Open the archive and searches for .git/HEAD. Return if HEAD is a commit (detached head or tag) Otherwise attempt to read the ref that .git/HEAD is pointing to and return the commit associated with it.

spack.util.compression module

class spack.util.compression.BZipFileType[source]

Bases: CompressedFileTypeInterface

extension: str
name: str
peek(stream: BinaryIO, num_bytes: int) BytesIO | None[source]

This method returns the first num_bytes of a decompressed stream. Returns None if no builtin support for decompression.

class spack.util.compression.CompressedFileTypeInterface[source]

Bases: FileTypeInterface

Interface class for FileTypes that include compression information

peek(stream: BinaryIO, num_bytes: int) BytesIO | None[source]

This method returns the first num_bytes of a decompressed stream. Returns None if no builtin support for decompression.

class spack.util.compression.FileTypeInterface[source]

Bases: object

Base interface class for describing and querying file type information. FileType describes information about a single file type such as typical extension and byte header properties, and provides an interface to check a given file against said type based on magic number.

This class should be subclassed each time a new type is to be described.

Subclasses should each describe a different type of file. In order to do so, they must define the extension string, magic number, and header offset (if non zero). If a class has multiple magic numbers, it will need to override the method describing that file type’s magic numbers and the method that checks a types magic numbers against a given file’s.

OFFSET
extension: str
classmethod header_size() int[source]

Return size of largest magic number associated with file type

classmethod magic_numbers() List[bytes][source]

Return a list of all potential magic numbers for a filetype

matches_magic(stream: BinaryIO) bool[source]

Returns true if the stream matches the current file type by any of its magic numbers. Resets stream to original position.

Parameters:

stream – file byte stream

name: str
class spack.util.compression.GZipFileType[source]

Bases: CompressedFileTypeInterface

extension: str
name: str
peek(stream: BinaryIO, num_bytes: int) BytesIO | None[source]

This method returns the first num_bytes of a decompressed stream. Returns None if no builtin support for decompression.

class spack.util.compression.LzmaFileType[source]

Bases: CompressedFileTypeInterface

extension: str
name: str
peek(stream: BinaryIO, num_bytes: int) BytesIO | None[source]

This method returns the first num_bytes of a decompressed stream. Returns None if no builtin support for decompression.

spack.util.compression.MAX_BYTES_ARCHIVE_HEADER

Maximum number of bytes to read from a file to determine any archive type. Tar is the largest.

spack.util.compression.SUPPORTED_FILETYPES: List[FileTypeInterface]

Collection of supported archive and compression file type identifier classes.

class spack.util.compression.TarFileType[source]

Bases: FileTypeInterface

OFFSET
extension: str
name: str
class spack.util.compression.ZCompressedFileType[source]

Bases: CompressedFileTypeInterface

extension: str
name: str
class spack.util.compression.ZipFleType[source]

Bases: FileTypeInterface

extension: str
name: str
spack.util.compression.decompressor_for(path: str, extension: str | None = None)[source]

Returns appropriate decompression/extraction algorithm function pointer for provided extension. If extension is none, it is computed from the path and the decompression function is derived from that information.

spack.util.compression.decompressor_for_nix(extension: str) Callable[[str], Any][source]

Returns a function pointer to appropriate decompression algorithm based on extension type and unix specific considerations i.e. a reasonable expectation system utils like gzip, bzip2, and xz are available

Parameters:

extension – path of the archive file requiring decompression

spack.util.compression.decompressor_for_win(extension: str) Callable[[str], Any][source]

Returns a function pointer to appropriate decompression algorithm based on extension type and Windows specific considerations

Windows natively vendors only tar, no other archive/compression utilities So we must rely exclusively on Python module support for all compression operations, tar for tarballs and zip files, and 7zip for Z compressed archives and files as Python does not provide support for the UNIX compress algorithm

spack.util.compression.extension_from_magic_numbers(path: str, decompress: bool = False) str | None[source]

Return typical extension without leading . of a compressed file or archive at the given path, based on its magic numbers, similar to the file utility. Notice that the extension returned from this function may not coincide with the file’s given extension.

Parameters:
  • path – file to determine extension of

  • decompress – If True, method will peek into decompressed file to check for archive file types. If False, the method will return only the top-level extension (for example gz and not tar.gz).

Returns:

Spack recognized archive file extension as determined by file’s magic number and file name. If file is not on system or is of a type not recognized by Spack as an archive or compression type, None is returned. If the file is classified as a compressed tarball, the extension is abbreviated (for instance tgz not tar.gz) if that matches the file’s given extension.

spack.util.compression.extension_from_magic_numbers_by_stream(stream: BinaryIO, decompress: bool = False) str | None[source]

Returns the typical extension for the opened file, without leading ., based on its magic numbers.

If the stream does not represent file type recognized by Spack (see SUPPORTED_FILETYPES), the method will return None

Parameters:
  • stream – stream representing a file on system

  • decompress – if True, compressed files are checked for archive types beneath compression. For example tar.gz if True versus only gz if False.

spack.util.cpus module

spack.util.cpus.cpus_available()[source]

Returns the number of CPUs available for the current process, or the number of physical CPUs when that information cannot be retrieved. The number of available CPUs might differ from the number of physical CPUs when using spack through Slurm or container runtimes.

spack.util.crypto module

class spack.util.crypto.Checker(hexdigest: str, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: object

A checker checks files against one particular hex digest. It will automatically determine what hashing algorithm to used based on the length of the digest it’s initialized with. e.g., if the digest is 32 hex characters long this will use md5.

Example: know your tarball should hash to abc123. You want to check files against this. You would use this class like so:

hexdigest = 'abc123'
checker = Checker(hexdigest)
success = checker.check('downloaded.tar.gz')

After the call to check, the actual checksum is available in checker.sum, in case it’s needed for error output.

You can trade read performance and memory usage by adjusting the block_size optional arg. By default it’s a 1MB (2**20 bytes) buffer.

check(filename: str) bool[source]

Read the file with the specified name and check its checksum against self.hexdigest. Return True if they match, False otherwise. Actual checksum is stored in self.sum.

property hash_name: str

Get the name of the hash function this Checker is using.

sum: str | None

spack.util.crypto.prefix_bits(byte_array, bits)[source]

Return the first <bits> bits of a byte array as an integer.

spack.util.ctest_log_parser module

Functions to parse build logs and extract error messages.

This is a python port of the regular expressions CTest uses to parse log files here:

https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Source/CTest/cmCTestBuildHandler.cxx

This file takes the regexes verbatim from there and adds some parsing algorithms that duplicate the way CTest scrapes log files. To keep this up to date with CTest, just make sure the *_matches and *_exceptions lists are kept up to date with CTest’s build handler.

class spack.util.ctest_log_parser.BuildError(text: str, line_no: int, source_file: str | None = None, source_line_no: str | None = None, pre_context: List[str] | None = None, post_context: List[str] | None = None)[source]

Bases: LogEvent

LogEvent subclass for build errors.

class spack.util.ctest_log_parser.CTestLogParser(profile: bool = False)[source]

Bases: object

Log file parser that extracts errors and warnings.

parse(stream: str | TextIO | List[str], context: int = 6, tail: int = 0) Tuple[List[BuildError], List[BuildWarning], LogEvent | None][source]

Parse a log file by searching each line for errors and warnings.

Parameters:
  • stream – filename or stream to read from

  • context – lines of context to extract around each log event

  • tail – if > 0, also return a LogEvent with the last tail lines

Returns:

two lists containing BuildError and BuildWarning objects, plus an optional LogEvent for the tail (None when tail=0).

print_timings() None[source]

Print out profile of time spent in different regular expressions.

class spack.util.ctest_log_parser.LogEvent(text: str, line_no: int, source_file: str | None = None, source_line_no: str | None = None, pre_context: List[str] | None = None, post_context: List[str] | None = None)[source]

property end: int

Last line in the log with text for event or its context.

property start: int

First line in the log with text for the event or its context.

spack.util.editor module

Module for finding the user’s preferred text editor.

Defines one function, editor(), which invokes the editor defined by the user’s VISUAL environment variable if set. We fall back to the editor defined by the EDITOR environment variable if VISUAL is not set or the specified editor fails (e.g. no DISPLAY for a graphical editor). If neither variable is set, we fall back to one of several common editors, raising an OSError if we are unable to find one.

spack.util.editor.editor(*args: str, exec_fn: Callable[[str, List[str]], int] = os.execv) bool[source]

Invoke the user’s editor.

This will try to execute the following, in order:

  1. $VISUAL <args>: the “visual” editor (per POSIX)

  2. $EDITOR <args>: the regular editor (per POSIX)

  3. some default editor (see _default_editors) with <args>

If an environment variable isn’t defined, it is skipped. If it points to something that can’t be executed, we’ll print a warning. And if we can’t find anything that can be executed after searching the full list above, we’ll raise an error.

Parameters:
  • args – args to pass to editor

  • exec_fn – invoke this function to run; use spack.util.editor.executable if you want something that returns, instead of the default os.execv().

spack.util.editor.executable(exe: str, args: List[str]) int[source]

Wrapper that makes spack.util.executable.Executable look like os.execv().

Use this with editor() if you want it to return instead of running execv.

class spack.util.environment.EnvironmentModifications(other: EnvironmentModifications | None = None, traced: None | bool = None)[source]

Bases: object

Tracks and applies a sequence of environment variable modifications.

This class provides a high-level interface for building up a list of environment changes, such as setting, unsetting, appending, prepending, or removing values from environment variables. Modifications are stored and can be applied to a given environment dictionary, or rendered as shell code.

Package authors typically receive an instance of this class and call set(), unset(), prepend_path(), remove_path(), etc., to queue up modifications. Spack runs apply_modifications() to apply these modifications to the environment when needed.

Modifications can be grouped by variable name, reversed (where possible), validated for suspicious patterns, and extended from other instances. The class also supports tracing the origin of modifications for debugging.

Example

env = EnvironmentModifications()
env.set("FOO", "bar")
env.prepend_path("PATH", "/custom/bin")
env.apply_modifications()  # applies changes to os.environ
append_flags(name: str, value: str, sep: str = ' ') None[source]

Stores a request to append flags to an environment variable.

Parameters:
  • name – name of the environment variable

  • value – flags to be appended

  • sep – separator for the flags (default: " ")

append_path(name: str, path: str | PurePath, separator: str = os.pathsep) None[source]

Stores a request to append a path to list of paths.

Parameters:
  • name – name of the environment variable

  • path – path to be appended

  • separator – separator for the paths (default: os.pathsep)

apply_modifications(env: MutableMapping[str, str] | None = None)[source]

Applies the modifications to the environment.

Parameters:

env – environment to be modified. If None, os.environ will be used.

clear()[source]

Clears the current list of modifications.

deprioritize_system_paths(name: str, separator: str = os.pathsep) None[source]

Stores a request to deprioritize system paths in a path list, otherwise preserving the order.

  • inspections – maps relative paths to a list of environment variables that will be modified if the path exists. The modifications are not performed immediately, but stored in a command object that is returned to client

  • exclude – optional callable. If present it must accept an absolute path and return True if it should be excluded from the inspection

Examples:

The following lines execute an inspection in /usr to search for /usr/include and /usr/lib64. If found we want to prepend /usr/include to CPATH and /usr/lib64 to MY_LIB64_PATH.

# Set up the dictionary containing the inspection

spack.util.executable module

class spack.util.executable.Executable(name: str | Path)[source]

Bases: object

Represent an executable file that can be run as a subprocess.

This class provides a simple interface for running executables with custom arguments and environment variables. It supports setting default arguments and environment modifications, copying instances, and running commands with various options for input/output/error handling.

Example usage:

ls = Executable("ls")
ls.add_default_arg("-l")
ls.add_default_env("LC_ALL", "C")
output = ls("-a", output=str)  # Run 'ls -l -a' and capture output as string
__call__(*args: str, fail_on_error: bool = True, ignore_errors: int | Sequence[int] = (), ignore_quotes: bool | None = None, timeout: int | None = None, env: Dict[str, str] | EnvironmentModifications | None = None, extra_env: Dict[str, str] | EnvironmentModifications | None = None, input: BinaryIO | None = None, output: BinaryIO | None | str = None, error: BinaryIO | None | str = None, _dump_env: Dict[str, str] | None = None) None[source]
__call__(*args: str, fail_on_error: bool = True, ignore_errors: int | Sequence[int] = (), ignore_quotes: bool | None = None, timeout: int | None = None, env: Dict[str, str] | EnvironmentModifications | None = None, extra_env: Dict[str, str] | EnvironmentModifications | None = None, input: BinaryIO | None = None, output: Type[str] | Callable, error: BinaryIO | None | str | Type[str] | Callable = None, _dump_env: Dict[str, str] | None = None) str
__call__(*args: str, fail_on_error: bool = True, ignore_errors: int | Sequence[int] = (), ignore_quotes: bool | None = None, timeout: int | None = None, env: Dict[str, str] | EnvironmentModifications | None = None, extra_env: Dict[str, str] | EnvironmentModifications | None = None, input: BinaryIO | None = None, output: BinaryIO | None | str | Type[str] | Callable = None, error: Type[str] | Callable, _dump_env: Dict[str, str] | None = None) str

Runs this executable in a subprocess.

Parameters:
  • *args – command-line arguments to the executable to run

  • fail_on_error – if True, raises an exception if the subprocess returns an error The return code is available as returncode

  • ignore_errors – a sequence of error codes to ignore. If these codes are returned, this process will not raise an exception, even if fail_on_error is set to True

  • ignore_quotes – if False, warn users that quotes are not needed, as Spack does not use a shell. If None, use ignore_quotes.

  • timeout – the number of seconds to wait before killing the child process

  • env – the environment with which to run the executable

  • extra_env – extra items to add to the environment (neither requires nor precludes env)

  • input – where to read stdin from

  • output – where to send stdout

  • error – where to send stderr

  • _dump_env – dict to be set to the environment actually used (envisaged for testing purposes only)

Accepted values for input, output, and error:

  • Python streams: open Python file objects or os.devnull

  • str: the Python string type. If you set these to str, output and error will be written to pipes and returned as a string. If both output and error are set to str, then one string is returned containing output concatenated with error. Not valid for input.

  • str.split: the split method of the Python string type. Behaves the same as str, except that value is also written to stdout or stderr.

For output and error it’s also accepted to pass a string with a filename, which will be automatically opened for writing.

By default, the subprocess inherits the parent’s file descriptors.

Bases: object

This class manages cached data in the filesystem.

  • Cache files are fetched and stored by unique keys. Keys can be relative paths, so that there can be some hierarchy in the cache.

  • The FileCache handles locking cache files for reading and writing, so client code need not manage locks for cache entries.

Returns a context manager that yields an open file object for reading, or None if the cache file does not exist. You can use it like this:

with file_cache_object.read_transaction(key) as cache_file:
    if cache_file is not None:
        cache_file.read()
remove(key: str | Path)[source]
write_transaction(key: str | Path) Iterator[Tuple[IO[str] | None, IO[str]]][source]

Get a write transaction on a file cache item.

Returns a context manager that yields (old_file, new_file) where old_file is the existing cache file (or None), and new_file is a writable temporary file. Once the context manager exits cleanly, moves the temporary file into place atomically.

spack.util.git.git_checkout(ref: str | None = None, sparse_paths: List[str] = [], debug: bool = False, dest: str | None = None, git_exe: GitExecutable | None = None)[source]

A generic method for running git checkout that integrates sparse-checkout Several methods in this module explicitly delay checkout so sparse-checkout can be called. It is intended to be used with git clone --no-checkout or git init && git fetch. There is minimal impact to performance since the initial clone operation filters blobs and has to download a minimal subset of git data.

spack.util.git.git_clone(url: str, ref: str | None = None, full_repo: bool = False, depth: int | None = None, debug: bool = False, dest: str | None = None, git_exe: GitExecutable | None = None)[source]

A git clone that prefers deferring expensive blob fetching for modern git installations This is our fallback method for capturing more git data than the init && fetch model. It is still optimized to capture a minimal set of ./.git data and expects to be paired with a call to git checkout to fully download the source code.

spack.util.git.git_init_fetch(url, ref, depth=None, debug=False, dest=None, git_exe=None)[source]

Utilize git init and then git fetch for a minimal clone of a single git ref This method runs git init, repo add, fetch to get a minimal set of source data. Profiling has shown this method can be 10-20% less storage than purely using sparse-checkout, and is even smaller than git clone –depth 1. This makes it the preferred method for single commit checkouts and source mirror population.

There is a trade off since less git data means less flexibility with additional git operations. Technically adding the remote is not necessary, but we do it since there are test cases where we may want to fetch additional data.

Checkout is explicitly deferred to a second method so we can intercept and add sparse-checkout options uniformly whether we use git clone or init fetch

spack.util.git.init_git_repo(repository: str, remote: str = 'origin', git_exe: Executable | None = None)[source]

Initialize a new Git repository and configure it with a remote.

spack.util.git.is_git_commit_sha(string: str) bool[source]
spack.util.git.protocol_supports_shallow_clone(url)[source]

spack.util.ld_so_conf.host_dynamic_linker_search_paths()[source]

Retrieve the current host runtime search paths for shared libraries; for GNU and musl Linux we try to retrieve the dynamic linker from the current Python interpreter and then find the corresponding config file (e.g. ld.so.conf or ld-musl-<arch>.path). Similar can be done for BSD and others, but this is not implemented yet. The default paths are always returned. We don’t check if the listed directories exist.

spack.util.ld_so_conf.parse_ld_so_conf(conf_file='/etc/ld.so.conf')[source]

class spack.util.lock.Lock(path: str, *, start: int = 0, length: int = 0, default_timeout: float | None = None, debug: bool = False, desc: str = '', enable: bool = True)[source]

Bases: Lock

Lock that can be disabled.

This overrides the _lock() and _unlock() methods from spack.llnl.util.lock so that all the lock API calls will succeed, but the actual locking mechanism can be disabled via _enable_locks.

cleanup(*args) None[source]
exception spack.util.lock.LockError[source]

Bases: Exception

Raised for any errors related to locks.

exception spack.util.lock.LockTimeoutError(lock_type: int, path: str, time: float, attempts: int)[source]

Do some extra checks to ensure disabling locks is safe.

This will raise an error if path can is group- or world-writable AND the current user can write to the directory (i.e., if this user AND others could write to the path).

This is intended to run on the Spack prefix, but can be run on any path for testing.

spack.util.log_parse module

spack.util.log_parse.make_log_context(log_events: List[LogEvent]) str[source]

Get error context from a log file.

Parameters:

log_events – list of events created by ctest_log_parser.parse()

Returns:

context from the build log with errors highlighted

Return type:

str

Parses the log file for lines containing errors, and prints them out with context. Errors are highlighted in red and warnings in yellow. Events are sorted by line number.

spack.util.log_parse.parse_log_events(stream: str | TextIO, context: int = 6, profile: bool = False, tail: int = 0) Tuple[List[BuildError], List[BuildWarning], LogEvent | None][source]

Returns:

two lists containing BuildError and BuildWarning objects, plus an optional LogEvent for the tail (None when tail=0).

spack.util.module_cmd module

This module contains routines related to the module command for accessing and parsing environment modules.

exception spack.util.module_cmd.ModuleLoadError(module)[source]

Bases: SpackError

Raised when a module cannot be loaded.

spack.util.module_cmd.get_path_args_from_module_line(line)[source]
spack.util.module_cmd.get_path_from_module_contents(text, module_name)[source]
spack.util.module_cmd.load_module(mod)[source]

Takes a module name and removes modules until it is possible to load that module. It then loads the provided module. Depends on the modulecmd implementation of modules used in cray and lmod.

Raises:

ModuleLoadError – if the module could not be loaded

spack.util.module_cmd.module(*args: str, module_template: str | None = None, module_src_cmd: str | None = None, environb: MutableMapping[bytes, bytes] | None = None)[source]

Run the module shell function in a /bin/bash subprocess, and either collect its changes to environment variables and apply them in the current process (for module load, module swap, etc.), or return its output as a string (for module show, etc.).

This requires /bin/bash to be available on the system and awk to be in PATH.

Parameters:
  • args – Command line arguments for the module command.

  • environb – (Binary) environment variables dictionary. If not provided, the current process’s environment is modified.

spack.util.module_cmd.path_from_modules(modules)[source]

spack.util.naming module

class spack.util.naming.NamespaceTrie(separator='.')[source]

Bases: object

class Element(value)[source]

Bases: object

has_value(namespace)[source]

True if there is a value set for the given namespace.

is_leaf(namespace)[source]

True if this namespace has no children in the trie.

is_prefix(namespace)[source]

True if the namespace has a value, or if it’s the prefix of one that does.

spack.util.naming.pkg_name_to_class_name(pkg_name: str)[source]

Convert a Spack package name to a class name, based on PEP-8:

  • Module and package names use lowercase_with_underscores.

  • Class names use the CapWords convention.

Not all package names are valid Python identifiers:

  • They can contain -, but cannot start with -.

  • They can start with numbers, e.g. 3proxy.

This function converts from the package name to the class convention by removing _ and -, and converting surrounding lowercase text to CapWords. If package name starts with a number, the class name returned will be prepended with _ to make a valid Python identifier.

spack.util.naming.possible_spack_module_names(python_mod_name: str) List[str][source]

Given a Python module name, return a list of all possible spack module names that could correspond to it.

spack.util.naming.simplify_name(name: str) str[source]

Simplify package name to only lowercase, digits, and dashes.

Simplifies a name which may include uppercase letters, periods, underscores, and pluses. In general, we want our package names to only contain lowercase letters, digits, and dashes.

Parameters:

name (str) – The original name of the package

Returns:

The new name of the package

Return type:

str

spack.util.naming.valid_module_name(mod_name: str, package_api: Tuple[int, int]) bool[source]

spack.util.package_hash module

exception spack.util.package_hash.PackageHashError(message: str, long_message: str | None = None)[source]

Bases: SpackError

Raised for all errors encountered during package hashing.

class spack.util.package_hash.RemoveDirectives(spec)[source]

Bases: NodeTransformer

Remove Spack directives from a package AST.

This removes Spack directives (e.g., depends_on, conflicts, etc.) and metadata attributes (e.g., tags, homepage, url) in a top-level class definition within a package.py, but it does not modify nested classes or functions.

If removing directives causes a for, with, or while statement to have an empty body, we remove the entire statement. Similarly, If removing directives causes an if statement to have an empty body or else block, we’ll remove the block (or replace the body with pass if there is an else block but no body).

metadata_attrs

List of attributes to be excluded from a package’s hash.

visit_Assign(node)[source]
visit_ClassDef(node)[source]
visit_Expr(node)[source]
visit_For(node)[source]

visit_While(node)[source]
visit_With(node)[source]
class spack.util.package_hash.RemoveDocstrings[source]

Bases: NodeTransformer

Transformer that removes docstrings from a Python AST.

This removes all strings that aren’t on the RHS of an assignment statement from the body of functions, classes, and modules – even if they’re not directly after the declaration.

remove_docstring(node)[source]
visit_ClassDef(node)[source]
visit_FunctionDef(node)[source]
visit_Module(node)[source]
class spack.util.package_hash.ResolveMultiMethods(methods)[source]

Bases: NodeTransformer

Remove multi-methods when we know statically that they won’t be used.

Say we have multi-methods like this:

class SomePackage:
    def foo(self): print("implementation 1")

    @when("@1.0")
    def foo(self): print("implementation 2")

    @when("@2.0")
    @when(sys.platform == "darwin")
    def foo(self): print("implementation 3")

    @when("@3.0")
    def foo(self): print("implementation 4")

The multimethod that will be chosen at runtime depends on the package spec and on whether we’re on the darwin platform at build time (the darwin condition for implementation 3 is dynamic). We know the package spec statically; we don’t know statically what the runtime environment will be. We need to include things that can possibly affect package behavior in the package hash, and we want to exclude things when we know that they will not affect package behavior.

If we’re at version 4.0, we know that implementation 1 will win, because some @when for 2, 3, and 4 will be False. We should only include implementation 1.

If we’re at version 1.0, we know that implementation 2 will win, because it overrides implementation 1. We should only include implementation 2.

If we’re at version 3.0, we know that implementation 4 will win, because it overrides implementation 1 (the default), and some @when on all others will be False.

If we’re at version 2.0, it’s a bit more complicated. We know we can remove implementations 2 and 4, because their @when’s will never be satisfied. But, the choice between implementations 1 and 3 will happen at runtime (this is a bad example because the spec itself has platform information, and we should prefer to use that, but we allow arbitrary boolean expressions in @when’s, so this example suffices). For this case, we end up needing to include both implementation 1 and 3 in the package hash, because either could be chosen.

resolve(impl_conditions)[source]

Given list of nodes and conditions, figure out which node will be chosen.

visit_FunctionDef(node: FunctionDef) FunctionDef | None[source]
class spack.util.package_hash.TagMultiMethods(spec: Spec)[source]

spack.util.package_hash.unused_string(node: AST) bool[source]

Criteria for unassigned body strings.

spack.util.parallel module

spack.util.parallel.ENABLE_PARALLELISM

class spack.util.parallel.ErrorFromWorker(exc_cls, exc, tb)[source]

Bases: object

Wrapper class to report an error from a worker process

property stacktrace
class spack.util.parallel.SequentialExecutor[source]

Bases: Executor

Executor that runs tasks sequentially in the current thread.

submit(fn, *args, **kwargs)[source]

Submit a function to be executed.

class spack.util.parallel.Task(func)[source]

Bases: object

Wrapped task that trap every Exception and return it as an ErrorFromWorker object.

We are using a wrapper class instead of a decorator since the class is pickleable, while a decorator with an inner closure is not.

spack.util.parallel.imap_unordered(f, list_of_args, *, processes: int, maxtaskperchild: int | None = None, debug=False)[source]

Wrapper around multiprocessing.Pool.imap_unordered.

Parameters:
  • f – function to apply

  • list_of_args – list of tuples of args for the task

  • processes – maximum number of processes allowed

  • debug – if False, raise an exception containing just the error messages from workers, if True an exception with complete stacktraces

Raises:

RuntimeError – if any error occurred in the worker processes

spack.util.parallel.make_concurrent_executor(jobs: int | None = None, *, require_fork: bool = True) Executor[source]

Create a concurrent executor. If require_fork is True, then the executor is sequential if the platform does not enable forking as the default start method. Effectively require_fork=True makes the executor sequential in the current process on Windows, macOS, and Linux from Python 3.14+ (which changes defaults)

spack.util.path module

Utilities for managing paths in Spack.

TODO: this is really part of spack.config. Consolidate it.

spack.util.path.canonicalize_path(path: str, default_wd: str | None = None) str[source]

Same as substitute_path_variables, but also take absolute path.

If the string is a yaml object with file annotations, make absolute paths relative to that file’s directory. Otherwise, use default_wd if specified, otherwise os.getcwd()

Parameters:
  • path – path being converted as needed

  • default_wd – optional working directory/root for non-yaml string paths

Returns: An absolute path or non-file URL with path variable substitution

spack.util.path.substitute_config_variables(path)[source]

Substitute placeholders into paths.

Spack allows paths in configs to have some placeholders, as follows:

  • $env The active Spack environment.

  • $spack The Spack instance’s prefix

  • $tempdir Default temporary directory returned by tempfile.gettempdir()

  • $user The current user’s username

  • $user_cache_path The user cache directory (~/.spack, unless overridden)

  • $spack_instance_id Hash that distinguishes Spack instances on the filesystem

  • $architecture The spack architecture triple for the current system

  • $arch The spack architecture triple for the current system

  • $platform The spack platform for the current system

  • $os The OS of the current system

  • $operating_system The OS of the current system

  • $target The ISA target detected for the system

  • $target_family The family of the target detected for the system

  • $date The current date (YYYY-MM-DD)

  • $spack_short_version The spack short version

These are substituted case-insensitively into the path, and users can use either $var or ${var} syntax for the variables. $env is only replaced if there is an active environment, and should only be used in environment yaml files.

spack.util.path.substitute_path_variables(path)[source]

Substitute config vars, expand environment vars, expand user home.

spack.util.pattern module

class spack.util.pattern.Args(*flags, **kwargs)[source]

class spack.util.pattern.Bunch(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: object

Carries a bunch of named attributes (from Alex Martelli bunch)

spack.util.prefix module

This file contains utilities for managing the installation prefix of a package.

class spack.util.prefix.Prefix[source]

Bases: str

This class represents an installation prefix, but provides useful attributes for referring to directories inside the prefix.

Attributes of this object are created on the fly when you request them, so any of the following are valid:

>>> prefix = Prefix("/usr")
>>> prefix.bin
/usr/bin
>>> prefix.lib64
/usr/lib64
>>> prefix.share.man
/usr/share/man
>>> prefix.foo.bar.baz
/usr/foo/bar/baz
>>> prefix.join("dashed-directory").bin64
/usr/dashed-directory/bin64

Prefix objects behave identically to strings. In fact, they subclass str, so operators like + are legal:

print("foobar " + prefix)

This prints foobar /usr. All of this is meant to make custom installs easy.

join(string: str) Prefix[source]

Concatenate a string to a prefix.

Useful for strings that are not valid variable names. This includes strings containing characters like - and ..

Parameters:

string – the string to append to the prefix

Returns:

the newly created installation prefix

spack.util.remote_file_cache module

spack.util.remote_file_cache.fetch_remote_text_file(url: str, dest_dir: str) str[source]

Retrieve the text file from the url into the destination directory.

Parameters:
  • url – URL for the remote text file

  • dest_dir – destination directory in which to stage the file locally

Returns:

Path to the fetched file

Raises:

ValueError – if there are missing required arguments

spack.util.remote_file_cache.local_path(raw_path: str, sha256: str, dest: str | None = None) str[source]

Determine the actual path and, if remote, stage its contents locally.

Parameters:
  • raw_path – raw path with possible variables needing substitution

  • sha256 – the expected sha256 if the file is remote

  • dest – destination path

Returns: resolved, normalized local path

Raises:

ValueError – missing or mismatched arguments, unsupported URL scheme

spack.util.remote_file_cache.raw_github_gitlab_url(url: str) str[source]

Transform a github URL to the raw form to avoid undesirable html.

Parameters:

url – url to be converted to raw form

spack.util.s3 module

class spack.util.s3.UrllibS3Handler[source]

Bases: BaseHandler

s3_open(req)[source]
class spack.util.s3.WrapStream(raw)[source]

Bases: BufferedReader

detach()[source]

Disconnect this buffer from its underlying raw stream and return it.

After the raw stream has been detached, the buffer is in an unusable state.

read(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Read and return up to n bytes.

If the size argument is omitted, None, or negative, read and return all data until EOF.

If the size argument is positive, and the underlying raw stream is not ‘interactive’, multiple raw reads may be issued to satisfy the byte count (unless EOF is reached first). However, for interactive raw streams (as well as sockets and pipes), at most one raw read will be issued, and a short result does not imply that EOF is imminent.

Return an empty bytes object on EOF.

Return None if the underlying raw stream was open in non-blocking mode and no data is available at the moment.

spack.util.s3.get_mirror_s3_connection_info(mirror, method)[source]

Create s3 config for session/client from a Mirror instance (or just set defaults when no mirror is given.)

spack.util.s3.get_s3_session(url, method='fetch')[source]

Wrapper around json.dumps with different default arguments

spack.util.spack_json.load(stream: Any) Dict[source]

Spack JSON needs to be ordered to support specs.

spack.util.spack_yaml module

Enhanced YAML parsing for Spack.

  • load() preserves YAML Marks on returned objects – this allows us to access file and line information later.

  • Our load methods use ``OrderedDict class instead of YAML’s default unordered dict.

exception spack.util.spack_yaml.SpackYAMLError(msg, yaml_error, filename=None)[source]

Bases: SpackError

Raised when there are issues with YAML parsing.

spack.util.spack_yaml.dump(data, stream=None, default_flow_style=False)[source]

Alias for field number 0

spack.util.timer.global_timer_name

name for the global timer (used in start(), stop(), duration() without arguments)

spack.util.typing module

Extra support for type checking in Spack.

Protocols here that have runtime overhead should be set to object when TYPE_CHECKING is not enabled, as they can incur unreasonable runtime overheads.

In particular, Protocols intended for use on objects that have many isinstance() calls can be very expensive.

spack.util.url module

Utility functions for parsing, formatting, and manipulating URLs.

spack.util.url.default_download_filename(url: str) str[source]

This method computes a default file name for a given URL. Note that it makes no request, so this is not the same as the option curl -O, which uses the remote file name from the response header.

spack.util.url.file_url_string_to_path(url)[source]
spack.util.url.format(parsed_url)[source]

Format a URL string

Returns a canonicalized format of the given URL as a string.

spack.util.url.is_path_instead_of_url(path_or_url)[source]

Historically some config files and spack commands used paths where urls should be used. This utility can be used to validate and promote paths to urls.

spack.util.url.join(base: str, *components: str, resolve_href: bool = False, **kwargs) str[source]

Convenience wrapper around urllib.parse.urljoin(), with a few differences:

  1. By default resolve_href=False, which makes the function like os.path.join(). For example https://example.com/a/b + c/d = https://example.com/a/b/c/d. If resolve_href=True, the behavior is how a browser would resolve the URL: https://example.com/a/c/d.

  2. s3://, gs://, oci:// URLs are joined like http:// URLs.

  3. It accepts multiple components for convenience. Note that components[1:] are treated as literal path components and appended to components[0] separated by slashes.

spack.util.url.local_file_path(url)[source]

Get a local file path from a url.

If url is a file:// URL, return the absolute path to the local file or directory referenced by it. Otherwise, return None.

Return the next link from a Link header value, if any.

spack.util.url.path_to_file_url(path)[source]
spack.util.url.validate_scheme(scheme)[source]

Returns true if the URL scheme is generally known to Spack. This function helps mostly in validation of paths vs urls, as Windows paths such as C:/x/y/z (with backward not forward slash) may parse as a URL with scheme C and path /x/y/z.

spack.util.web.base_curl_fetch_args(url, timeout=0)[source]

Return the basic fetch arguments typically used in calls to curl.

The arguments include those for ensuring behaviors such as failing on errors for codes over 400, printing HTML headers, resolving 3xx redirects, status or failure handling, and connection timeouts.

It also uses the following configuration option to set an additional argument as needed:

  • config:connect_timeout (int): connection timeout

  • config:verify_ssl (str): Perform SSL verification

Parameters:
  • url (str) – URL whose contents will be fetched

  • timeout (int) – Connection timeout, which is only used if higher than config:connect_timeout

Returns (list): list of argument strings

spack.util.web.check_curl_code(returncode: int) None[source]

Check standard return code failures for provided arguments.

Parameters:

returncode – curl return code

Raises FetchError if the curl returncode indicates failure

spack.util.web.custom_ssl_certs() Tuple[bool, str] | None[source]

Returns a tuple (is_file, path) if custom SSL certifates are configured and valid.

spack.util.web.fetch_url_text(url, curl: Executable | None = None, dest_dir='.')[source]

Retrieves text-only URL content using the configured fetch method. It determines the fetch method from:

  • config:url_fetch_method (str): fetch method to use (e.g., ‘curl’)

If the method is curl, it also uses the following configuration options:

  • config:connect_timeout (int): connection time out

  • config:verify_ssl (str): Perform SSL verification

Parameters:
  • url (str) – URL whose contents are to be fetched

  • curl (spack.util.executable.Executable or None) – (optional) curl executable if curl is the configured fetch method

  • dest_dir (str) – (optional) destination directory for fetched text file

Returns (str or None): path to the fetched file

Raises FetchError if the curl returncode indicates failure

spack.util.web.get_header(headers, header_name)[source]

Looks up a dict of headers for the given header value.

Looks up a dict of headers, [headers], for a header value given by [header_name]. Returns headers[header_name] if header_name is in headers. Otherwise, the first fuzzy match is returned, if any.

This fuzzy matching is performed by discarding word separators and capitalization, so that for example, “Content-length”, “content_length”, “conTENtLength”, etc., all match. In the case of multiple fuzzy-matches, the returned value is the “first” such match given the underlying mapping’s ordering, or unspecified if no such ordering is defined.

If header_name is not in headers, and no such fuzzy match exists, then a KeyError is raised.

spack.util.web.is_transient_error(e: Exception) bool[source]

Return True for HTTP/network errors that are worth retrying.

spack.util.web.list_url(url, recursive=False)[source]
spack.util.web.parse_etag(header_value)[source]

spack.util.windows_registry module

Utility module for dealing with Windows Registry.

class spack.util.windows_registry.HKEY[source]

Bases: object

Predefined, open registry HKEYs From the Microsoft docs: An application must open a key before it can read data from the registry. To open a key, an application must supply a handle to another key in the registry that is already open. The system defines predefined keys that are always open. Predefined keys help an application navigate in the registry.
