Builder plugins¶
See the documentation for build configuration.
Built-in¶
Wheel¶
A wheel is a binary distribution of a Python package that can be installed directly into an environment.
Configuration¶
The builder plugin name is wheel.
[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
[build.targets.wheel]
Options¶
| Option | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| core-metadata-version | "2.1" | The version of core metadata to use | 
| shared-data | A mapping similar to the explicit selection option corresponding to data that will be installed globally in a given Python environment, usually under sys.prefix | |
| extra-metadata | A mapping similar to the explicit selection option corresponding to extra metadata that will be shipped in a directory named extra_metadata | 
Versions¶
| Version | Description | 
|---|---|
| standard(default) | The latest standardized format | 
| editable | A wheel that only ships .pthfiles or import hooks for real-time development | 
Default file selection¶
When the user has not set any file selection options, the project name will be used to determine the package to ship in the following heuristic order:
- <PACKAGE>/__init__.py
- src/<PACKAGE>/__init__.py
- <NAMESPACE>/<PACKAGE>/__init__.py
- Otherwise, every Python package and file that does not start with the word testwill be included
Reproducibility¶
Reproducible builds are supported.
Build data¶
This is data that can be modified by build hooks.
| Data | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| tag | The full tag part of the filename (e.g. py3-none-any), defaulting to a cross-platform wheel with the supported major versions of Python based on project metadata | |
| infer_tag | False | When tagis not set, this may be enabled to use the one most specific to the platform, Python interpreter, and ABI | 
| pure_python | True | Whether or not to write metadata indicating that the package does not contain any platform-specific files | 
| dependencies | Extra project dependencies | |
| force_include_editable | Similar to the force_includeoption but specifically for theeditableversion | 
Source distribution¶
A source distribution, or sdist, is an archive of Python "source code". Although largely unspecified, by convention it should include everything that is required to build a wheel without making network requests.
Configuration¶
The builder plugin name is sdist.
[tool.hatch.build.targets.sdist]
[build.targets.sdist]
Options¶
| Option | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| core-metadata-version | "2.1" | The version of core metadata to use | 
| support-legacy | false | Whether or not to include a setup.pyfile to support legacy installation mechanisms | 
Versions¶
| Version | Description | 
|---|---|
| standard(default) | The latest conventional format | 
Default file selection¶
When the user has not set any file selection options, all files that are not ignored by your VCS will be included.
Reproducibility¶
Reproducible builds are supported.
Build data¶
This is data that can be modified by build hooks.
| Data | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| dependencies | Extra project dependencies | 
Custom¶
This is a custom class in a given Python file that inherits from the BuilderInterface.
Configuration¶
The builder plugin name is custom.
[tool.hatch.build.targets.custom]
[build.targets.custom]
An option path is used to specify the path of the Python file, defaulting to hatch_build.py.
Example¶
from hatchling.builders.plugin.interface import BuilderInterface
class CustomBuilder(BuilderInterface):
    ...
If multiple subclasses are found, you must define a function named get_builder that returns the desired builder.
Note
Any defined PLUGIN_NAME is ignored and will always be custom.
