Summary

  • parse wheel filenames when resolving versions from PEP 503 Simple API indexes
  • normalize distribution names and decode artifact filenames
  • deduplicate versions published for multiple Python, ABI, and platform combinations
  • share the parser between remote version listing and latest-version resolution

Root cause

The HTML index fallback only matched .tar.gz source distributions. Packages or individual releases published exclusively as wheels were therefore invisible to mise ls-remote and latest resolution.

Addresses discussion #11952.

Testing

  • cargo test --locked --bin mise backend::pipx::tests::parses_ -- --nocapture
  • cargo test --locked --bin mise backend::pipx::tests::simple_index_resolves_wheel_only_packages -- --nocapture
  • repository safe check suite (hk)
  • cargo clippy --locked --workspace --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings

Note

Medium Risk
Changes how pipx resolves versions from custom/simple indexes; incorrect parsing could list wrong versions or miss releases, but scope is limited to the HTML index fallback path.

Overview
Fixes wheel-only packages missing from mise ls-remote and latest-version resolution when the pipx backend falls back to PEP 503 Simple API HTML instead of PyPI JSON.

The old HTML path only extracted versions from .tar.gz links. This PR centralizes parsing in versions_from_simple_index, which walks all href values, decodes filenames, and derives versions from wheels (including build tags) and sdists using PEP 503 name normalization (-, _, .). Duplicate wheels for different platforms collapse to one version. list_remote_versions and latest_stable_version both call the shared helper; latest still applies the existing prerelease string filters on top.

New unit tests cover mixed artifact HTML, encoded/normalized names, and a mock HTTP test for a wheel-only index.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PIPX simple-index discovery now parses source distributions and wheels. It decodes filenames, normalizes package names, validates wheel names, removes duplicate versions, and uses the shared parser for remote and latest-version resolution.

Changes

PIPX artifact discovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared simple-index artifact parser
src/backend/pipx.rs
The parser supports source and wheel artifacts, URL-encoded filenames, normalized package names, build tags, and duplicate removal. Tests cover these cases and unrelated packages.
Version listing and latest resolution
src/backend/pipx.rs
Remote version listing and latest-stable resolution now use the shared parser, including for wheel-only packages.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to 6951c

The PR expands wheel parsing for version discovery, but a malformed six-field wheel filename can currently contribute an invalid version to listings or latest-version resolution. The change is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness and should include validation for the optional build tag.

Poem

A rabbit found wheels in the index at dawn,
Decoded each name before hopping on.
Duplicate versions vanished from sight,
Stable releases now sort just right.
“PIPX parses all!” the rabbit cheered bright.

Greptile Summary

The PR extends pipx’s PEP 503 fallback to discover wheel-only releases while sharing filename parsing between remote-version listing and latest-version resolution.

  • Extracts, decodes, and normalizes artifact filenames from Simple API links.
  • Parses wheel and .tar.gz versions and deduplicates versions across wheel variants.
  • Adds parser and end-to-end coverage for normalized names, encoded versions, build tags, prereleases, and wheel-only indexes.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no concrete blocking or non-blocking issue identified.

The shared parser preserves source-distribution discovery, correctly handles standard wheel filename fields and normalized distribution names, and deduplicates versions before both listing and latest-version resolution.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/backend/pipx.rs Adds shared Simple API artifact parsing for wheel and source-distribution versions with focused unit and integration coverage; no actionable regression was established.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate the optional wheel build tag.

Line 464 accepts every six-field filename. A wheel build tag must start with an ASCII digit. For example, demo_pkg-9.9.9-invalid-py3-none-any.whl currently adds 9.9.9 as a candidate.

Reject invalid build tags and empty wheel fields. Add this malformed filename to the parser test. Otherwise, remote listing or latest can select a version from an invalid artifact.

Proposed fix
 let fields = stem.split('-').collect_vec();
-if !(fields.len() == 5 || fields.len() == 6)
+let valid_wheel_fields = fields.iter().all(|field| !field.is_empty())
+    && match fields.len() {
+        5 => true,
+        6 => fields[2]
+            .as_bytes()
+            .first()
+            .map(|byte| byte.is_ascii_digit())
+            .unwrap_or(false),
+        _ => false,
+    };
