23.21.0

[hynek]

Highlights

The main feature of this release are container-local registries that allow you to define factories that are only valid for a container. For example, based on request metadata! Check out the docs for details.

There's one minor backward-incompatible change regarding the handling of values and context managers – please refer to #50 for the reasons.

Finally there's a bunch of fixes around typing.

Full Changelog

Changed

• Backwards-Incompatible: Since multiple people have been bit by the enter=True default for Registry.register_value(), and it's very early in svcs life, we're changing the default to enter=False for all versions of register_value().

  This means that you have to explicitly opt-in to context manager behavior which makes a lot more sense for singletons like connection pools which are the most common candidates for registered values.

  (The irony of shipping a backwards-incompatible change in the release directly following the adoption of a backwards-compatibility policy not lost on me.) #50 #51

Added

• Container-local registries! Sometimes it's useful to bind a value or factory only to a container. For example, request metadata or authentication information.

  You can now achieve that with svcs.Container.register_local_factory() and svcs.Container.register_local_value(). Once something local is registered, a registry is transparently created and it takes precedence over the global one when a service is requested. The local registry is closed together with the container. #56

• Flask: svcs.flask.registry which is a werkzeug.local.LocalProxy for the currently active registry on flask.current_app.

Fixed

• We've stopped rewriting the public names of our objects and typing.get_type_hints() now works on them as expected for Python 3.10 and later. #52 #53

• The detection of container arguments in svcs.Registry() when using string-based type annotations is more robust now. #55
