# zig-fetch-py
A Python utility for working with Zig package manager files and Zig Object Notation (ZON).
## Features
- Parse ZON files into Python dictionaries
- Convert ZON files to JSON
- Download and extract dependencies from ZON files
## Installation
### Using uv (recommended)
[uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) is a fast Python package installer and resolver.
```bash
# Install uv if you don't have it
curl -sSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/zig-fetch-py.git
cd zig-fetch-py
# Create and activate a virtual environment
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# Install the package in development mode
uv pip install -e .
# Install development dependencies
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
### Using pip
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/zig-fetch-py.git
cd zig-fetch-py
# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# Install the package in development mode
pip install -e .
# Install development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```
## Usage
### Command Line Interface
The package provides a command-line interface with the following commands:
#### Download Dependencies
Download and extract dependencies from a ZON file:
```bash
zig-fetch download examples/test.zon
```
This will download all dependencies specified in the ZON file to `~/.cache/zig/p` and extract them to directories named after their hash values.
#### Convert ZON to JSON
Convert a ZON file to JSON:
```bash
zig-fetch convert examples/test.zon
```
Or use the dedicated command:
```bash
zon2json examples/test.zon
```
Options:
- `--indent N`, `-i N`: Set the indentation level for the JSON output (default: 2)
- `--output PATH`, `-o PATH`: Output file (default: stdout)
- `--empty-tuple-as-dict`: Parse empty tuples (`.{}`) as empty dictionaries (`{}`) instead of empty lists (`[]`)
- `--verbose`, `-v`: Enable verbose logging
### Python API
You can also use the package as a Python library:
```python
from zig_fetch_py.parser import parse_zon_file, zon_to_json
from zig_fetch_py.downloader import process_dependencies
# Parse a ZON file
zon_data = parse_zon_file("examples/test.zon")
# Convert ZON to JSON
json_str = zon_to_json(zon_content, indent=2)
# Download dependencies
dependencies = process_dependencies("examples/test.zon")
```
## ZON Parser Options
The ZON parser supports the following options:
- `empty_tuple_as_dict`: If True, empty tuples (`.{}`) will be parsed as empty dictionaries (`{}`) instead of empty lists (`[]`)
## Trivia
Cursor (powered by Claude 3.7) help me do almost all of the heavy lifting. I
can't even write a proper parser by my own.
The motivation of it is this issue ([add http/socks5 proxy support for package manager](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/15048)).
Until proper proxy support is added to zig, I'll maintain this repo. (The Zon parser might be useful for other projects though)
