8.5.0

This is the Click 8.5.0 feature release. A feature release may include new features, remove previously deprecated code, add new deprecation, or introduce potentially breaking changes.

We encourage everyone to upgrade. You can read more about our Version Support Policy on our website.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/click/8.5.0/ Changes: https://click.palletsprojects.com/page/changes/#version-8-5-0 Milestone https://github.com/pallets/click/milestone/33

• Add built-in shell completion support for PowerShell (Windows PowerShell 5.1+ and pwsh 7+) alongside the existing bash, zsh, and fish completers. Use _FOO_BAR_COMPLETE=powershell_source foo-bar to generate the completion script. #2672#3637
• Supported versions of Windows enable ANSI terminal styles by default. Colorama is no longer a dependency and is not used. #2986#3505
• {class}Argument accepts a help parameter, and help output includes a Positional arguments section when argument help is available. #2983#3473
• confirm() and prompt() strip ANSI color and style codes from the prompt when the output stream does not support them, matching echo(). This stripping was lost in 8.4.0 when #2969 began writing the prompt with input() directly. #3572#3653
• {class}Path with allow_dash=True no longer triggers a BytesWarning, an error under python -bb, when checking a value against the - convention. #2877#3642
• Add {func}custom_version_option, a --version option whose output is produced by a callback, covering cases {func}version_option intentionally does not. The feature set of {func}version_option is now frozen; see [discussion #3527](`@version_option` future direction pallets/click#3527). #3581
• style() and secho() no longer silently drop the 256-color index 0 (black) passed as fg or bg, and now validate color arguments. Invalid colors raise a ValueError instead of a TypeError. #3677
• The automatic help option stores its value under the reserved name _click_default_help instead of help, so a parameter named help no longer breaks parsing. The new name is visible in {meth}Command.to_info_dict output. Parameters that overwrite each other's value trigger a warning: an argument sharing its name with another parameter, or any parameter claiming the reserved name. Options may still share a name to compete for the same value (feature switches). #2819#3678
• unstyle and the ANSI handling behind help-text wrapping now strip the full CSI escape-sequence grammar. #3681
• Streamline Option flag handling: the flag-kind, type, lazy-default and validation steps in Option.__init__ move into focused helpers, and flag_value and default keep their unset sentinel at construction (resolved lazily on read) so is UNSET reliably tells a user-supplied value from an auto-derived one. Runtime behavior is unchanged, but {meth}Parameter.to_info_dict now resolves default=True on a feature switch to its flag_value, matching what the function receives at call

Release notes

Sourced from click's releases.

8.5.0

This is the Click 8.5.0 feature release. A feature release may include new features, remove previously deprecated code, add new deprecation, or introduce potentially breaking changes.

We encourage everyone to upgrade. You can read more about our Version Support Policy on our website.

PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/click/8.5.0/ Changes: https://click.palletsprojects.com/page/changes/#version-8-5-0 Milestone https://github.com/pallets/click/milestone/33

• Add built-in shell completion support for PowerShell (Windows PowerShell 5.1+ and pwsh 7+) alongside the existing bash, zsh, and fish completers. Use _FOO_BAR_COMPLETE=powershell_source foo-bar to generate the completion script. #2672#3637
• Supported versions of Windows enable ANSI terminal styles by default. Colorama is no longer a dependency and is not used. #2986#3505
• {class}Argument accepts a help parameter, and help output includes a Positional arguments section when argument help is available. #2983#3473
• confirm() and prompt() strip ANSI color and style codes from the prompt when the output stream does not support them, matching echo(). This stripping was lost in 8.4.0 when #2969 began writing the prompt with input() directly. #3572#3653
• {class}Path with allow_dash=True no longer triggers a BytesWarning, an error under python -bb, when checking a value against the - convention. #2877#3642
• Add {func}custom_version_option, a --version option whose output is produced by a callback, covering cases {func}version_option intentionally does not. The feature set of {func}version_option is now frozen; see [discussion #3527](`@version_option` future direction pallets/click#3527). #3581
• style() and secho() no longer silently drop the 256-color index 0 (black) passed as fg or bg, and now validate color arguments. Invalid colors raise a ValueError instead of a TypeError. #3677
• The automatic help option stores its value under the reserved name _click_default_help instead of help, so a parameter named help no longer breaks parsing. The new name is visible in {meth}Command.to_info_dict output. Parameters that overwrite each other's value trigger a warning: an argument sharing its name with another parameter, or any parameter claiming the reserved name. Options may still share a name to compete for the same value (feature switches). #2819#3678
• unstyle and the ANSI handling behind help-text wrapping now strip the full CSI escape-sequence grammar. #3681
• Streamline Option flag handling: the flag-kind, type, lazy-default and validation steps in Option.__init__ move into focused helpers, and flag_value and default keep their unset sentinel at construction (resolved lazily on read) so is UNSET reliably tells a user-supplied value from an auto-derived one. Runtime behavior is unchanged, but {meth}Parameter.to_info_dict now resolves default=True on a feature switch to its flag_value, matching what the function receives at call
