Unexpectedly recent/incompatible version of tree-sitter

[penguinland]

I installed this with pip install code-tokenize, but when I tried using it I got an AttributeError because tree_sitter.Language has no build_library:

>>> import code_tokenize as ctok
>>> text = "print('hello world')"
>>> tokens = ctok.tokenize(text, lang="python")

I think this is because tree-sitter removed build_library entirely in version 0.22, earlier this year. This repo requires tree_sitter 0.19.0, but pip installed tree_sitter 0.23.1 instead.

I got things to work by explicitly running pip install tree_sitter==0.21.3 and pip install setuptools, but I still get a FutureWarning that Language(path, name) is deprecated.

Is there a way to update PyPI so it installs compatible versions of tree_sitter and setuptools automatically? More broadly, I wonder whether this can be updated so it works with more recent versions of tree-sitter, without deprecation warnings.

Thanks for taking a look, and please let me know if I can help more!

This is actually related to cedricrupb/code_ast#3 (which automatically installs the right version)

Ultimately, I would like to support the newer tree_sitter versions. Therefore, I am currently a bit hesitant to fix the tree_sitter version.

If you are interested, there is already development version of code_ast (which code_tokenize uses under the hood) which supports the newer version of tree_sitter. However, you would have to install the language bindings yourself.

Thanks so much! Not sure if I should close this ticket right now, or wait for that PR to be merged first. but I appreciate your work!

This should be fixed with the most recent version of code_ast.
