Pydantic v2 migration issue

joostlek opened this issue · 33 comments

The problem

Pydantic released v2 of their library. Some libraries want to utilize the new features of Pydantic v2 so HA should update to Pydantic v2. To not burden all libraries to rework, Pydantic is providing v1 in a separate package of v2. This has been implemented in several libraries already made by some HA community members (https://github.com/AngellusMortis/pyunifiprotect/pull/297). This way the library supports both v1 and v2, this way of working is preferred to not burden the v2 upgrade with a lot of libraries to update at once.

After installing all dependencies and using pipdeptree we see that the current libraries use pydantic.

frenck commented

As also reported on Discord. But replying here as well, as I was tagged. I have no intention of supporting v2 of Pydantic in my libraries.

Instead, I might be re-evaluating the use of Pydantic overall.

../Frenck

@frenck if you do find a good alternative please do share it here. Others may want to choose the same option. I have v2 semi working but since all the internals have changed and are IMO more complicated I haven't been interested much in investing time into it

bachya commented

A good reminder: one can retain the V1 standards while upgrading to the V2 library. This is an excellent way to unstick this PR without committing yourself to a complete upgrade (assuming they don't get rid of this path at some point).

frenck commented

As far as I am aware, it doesn't support everything backward. As said, I have no plans of supporting V2 at this point, and I am not willing to spend any second on it until I have explored other options.

pydantic has been fully removed from tailscale and elgato (and thus no longer taking part in this issue).

pydantic has been fully removed from vehicle (RDW integration) and thus no longer taking part in this issue.

I've been checking all the boxes :)

frenck commented

Right, but those don't take part in the migration process. It simply aren't using Pydantic at all anymore.

pydantic has been fully removed from pvo (PVOutput integration) and thus no longer taking part in this issue.

Man, what a liberating feeling! I should have learned about other options before using Pydantic in the first place. It would have saved me from many headaches now and in the past.

@frenck Are you using mashumaro as a replacement? I ask because I don't see a way to use it to validate a dict based on a TypedDict which is what I am looking for, so may have to keep looking :/

FYI: beartype

I found this issue, while searching why the used pydantic version is so old.
Maybe it's just me, but I then found beartype which I've never heard of before.
I've switched from pydantic to beartype today.
I'm still astonished how simple that was and how it immediately found the bug, that already cost me several hours today.

Steps I did:

  • remove every mention of pydantic
  • into __init__.py add:
from beartype.claw import beartype_this_package

beartype_this_package()

Do you have a repo which we can look at?

Sure, although I'm not sure it's worth looking: https://github.com/AlexanderLanin/homeassistant-sungrow/blob/main/custom_components/__init__.py

So far it found incorrect assignment to dataclasses and incorrect parameter types in functions. Both in addition to running mypy.

See https://beartype.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for more info.

See https://beartype.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ for more info.

That looks pretty promising. Thank you for sharing!
I - and I think others - get benefit from the ser/de + coercion aspects of Pydantic which beartype doesn't do :(.

I think this worked for my codebase:

try:
    from pydantic.v1 import Field, validator  # type: ignore # noqa F401 # pragma: no cover
    from pydantic.v1 import BaseModel  # type: ignore # pragma: no cover
except ImportError:
    from pydantic import Field  # type: ignore # pragma: no cover
    from pydantic import BaseModel  # type: ignore # pragma: no cover

Pydantic will be removed from systembridgeconnector in #107957

The dependent package systembridgemodels now only uses standard dataclasses.

aionotion now uses mashumaro and can be removed from the list.

fyi, pydantic/pydantic#9042 will allow cleaning up the compat code a bit when it ships.

FYI, the latest release of inflect no longer depends on pydantic.

This has now shipped, and is available in Pydantic 1.10.15.

It does not work. They also have no plans on fixing since v1 is out of support. They are working on v3 now and we still have not even gotten to v2. The Xbox integration (@hunterjm) is the only integration with any notable amount of users. Can we just consider moving to v2 or at least set a deadline for the integrations to migrate?

Owners refusing to support v2 via the shims is not fair to anyone else and it is preventing anyone from being able to use the performance improvements of v2. And once v3 comes out, it means a bunch of integrations are either going to go abandoned or those few owners are going to force everyone to rewrite their libraries just because they disagree with out a tool decided to implement something.

I want to spend more time on this when I am done with my thesis, I definetly want to speed the whole process up then

xbox seems to support v2 now so it might be able to be bumped with v2 as well

Unsure what you are referring to. Are you referring to this comment?

Indeed, looks like things weren't fully implemented there. PR welcome with a fix! This is relatively low priority though, given that it's on the V1 end of things.

There is by all accounts an active effort to fix / improve the v1 shim. The comment is just saying that it's low priority, and quite rightfully.

PECO should be compatible once #117165 gets merged

PECO now supports Pydantic v2 and is now merged into HA 👍

If helped is needed to migrate to V2, I can help.
