Helps you write your requirements.txt with hashes so you can install with pip install --require-hashes -r ...

If you want to add a package or edit the version of one you're currently using you have to do the following steps:

1. Go to pypi for that package
2. Download the .tgz file
3. Possibly download the .whl file
4. Run pip hash downloadedpackage-1.2.3.tgz
5. Run pip hash downloadedpackage-1.2.3.whl
6. Edit requirements.txt

This script does all those things. Hackishly wonderfully so.

The whole point of hashing is that you vet the packages that you use on your laptop and that they haven't been tampered with. Then you can confidently install them on a server.

This tool downloads from PyPI (over HTTPS) and runs pip hash on the downloaded files.

You should check that the packages that are downloaded are sane and not tampered with. The way you do that is to run hashin as normal but with the --verbose flag. When you do that it will print where it downloaded the relevant files and those files are not deleted. For example:

$ hashin --verbose bgg /tmp/reqs.txt
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/bgg/json
* Latest version for 0.22.1
* Found URL https://pypi.python.org/packages/2.7/b/bgg/bgg-0.22.1-py2-none-any.whl
*   Re-using /var/folders/1x/2hf5hbs902q54g3bgby5bzt40000gn/T/bgg-0.22.1-py2-none-any.whl
*   Hash e5172c3fda0e8a42d1797fd1ff75245c3953d7c8574089a41a219204dbaad83d
* Found URL https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/b/bgg/bgg-0.22.1.tar.gz
*   Re-using /var/folders/1x/2hf5hbs902q54g3bgby5bzt40000gn/T/bgg-0.22.1.tar.gz
*   Hash aaa53aea1cecb8a6e1288d6bfe52a51408a264a97d5c865c38b34ae16c9bff88
* Editing /tmp/reqs.txt

You might not have time to go through the lines one by one but you should be aware that the vetting process is your responsibility.

This is something you only do or ever need in a development environment. Ie. your laptop:

pip install hashin

Suppose you want to install futures. You can either do this:

hashin futures

Which will download the latest version tarball (and wheel) and calculate their pip hash and edit your requirements.txt file.

Or you can be specific about exactly which version you want:

hashin "futures==2.1.3"

You can also specify more than one package at a time:

hashin "futures==2.1.3" requests

Suppose you don't have a requirements.txt right there in the same directory you can specify --requirements-file:

hashin futures --requirements-file=stuff/requirements/prod.txt

By default sha256 hashes are used, but this can be overridden using the --algorithm argument:

hashin futures --algorithm=sha512

If there's no output, it worked. Check how it edited your requirements file.

Some requirements have many releases built for different versions of Python and different architectures. These hashes aren't useful in some cases, if those wheels don't work with your project. hashin can filter on the Python version to skip these extraneous hashes.

For example, the cffi package offers wheels built for many versions of CPython from 2.6 to 3.5. To select only one of them, you can use the --python-version option:

hashin "cffi==1.5.2" --python-version 3.5

If you need to support multiple versions, you can pass this option multiple times:

hashin "cffi==1.5.2" --python-version 2.7 --python-version 3.5

hashin will expand these Python versions to a full list of identifers that could be found on PyPI. For example, 3.5 will expand to match any of 3.5, py3, py3.5, py2.py3, or cp3.5. You can also specify these exact identifiers directly, if you need something specific.

The source release is always automatically included. pip will use this as a fallback in the case a suitable wheel cannot be found.

Requirements can use PEP-0496 style specifiers (e.g. like cffi==1.5.2; python_version >= '3.4') and these will be passed through when re-writing the requirements.txt file. hashin doesn't parse the specifiers themselves and will take anything after the semicolon. If you are using python_version you will still need to pass appropriate options if you don't want every available hash.

An example of this might be:

hashin "pywin32-ctypes ; sys_platform == 'win32'"

which will result it something like this in the requirements.txt file:

pywin32-ctypes==0.1.2; sys_platform == 'win32' \
    --hash=sha256:4820b830f42e6889d34142bcd07b3896018c3620d8c31f5e13b72caf1f4d1d0f

And if you want to limit it to certain Python versions, here's an example:

hashin "cffi==1.5.2; python_version >= '3.4'" -p 3.4 -p 3.5

Everything you can do with hashin on the command line you can do in running Python too. For example:

import hashin
from pprint import pprint
pprint(hashin.get_package_hashes('Django'))

This will print out:

{'hashes': [{'hash': 'fbc7ffaa45a4a67cb45f77dbd94e8eceecebe1d0959fe9c665dfbf28b41899e6',
         'url': 'https://pypi.python.org/packages/41/c1/68dd27946b03a3d756b0ff665baad25aee1f59918891d86ab76764209208/Django-1.11b1-py2.py3-none-any.whl'}],
'package': 'Django',
'version': '1.11b1'}

Or with specific version, algorithm and certain Python versions:

import hashin
from pprint import pprint
pprint(hashin.get_package_hashes(
    'Django',
    version='1.10',
    algorithm='sha512',
    python_versions=('3.5',)
))

Simply run:

python setup.py test

To run the tests with test coverage, with nosetests run something like this:

nosetests --with-coverage --cover-package=hashin --cover-html
open cover/index.html

To avoid having to install hashin just to test it or debug a feature you can simply just run it like this:

touch /tmp/whatever.txt
python hashin.py --verbose Django /tmp/whatever.txt

This program is a "fork" of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peepin peepin was a companion to the program peep https://pypi.python.org/pypi/peep/ but the functionality of peep has been put directly into pip as of version 8.

If this script proves itself to work and be useful, I hope we can put it directly into pip.

0.11.5

• You can now pass PEP-0496 Environment Markers together with the package name, and they get passed into the requirements.txt file. Thanks @meejah

0.11.4

• PackageErrors happening in CLI suppressed just the error message out on stderr. No full traceback any more.

0.11.3
