plugins

In this module, you will find everything relevant to conda's plugin system. It contains all of the code that plugin authors will use to write plugins, as well as conda's internal implementations of plugins.

Modules relevant for plugin authors

• conda.plugins.hookspec: all available hook specifications are listed here, including examples of how to use them

• conda.plugins.types: important types to use when defining plugin hooks

Modules relevant for internal development

• conda.plugins.manager: includes our custom subclass of pluggy's PluginManager class

Modules with internal plugin implementations

• conda.plugins.solvers: implementation of the "classic" solver

• conda.plugins.subcommands.doctor: conda doctor subcommand

• conda.plugins.virtual_packages: registers virtual packages in conda

class CondaAuthHandler

Bases: NamedTuple

Return type to use when the defining the conda auth handlers hook.

Parameters:

• name -- Name (e.g., basic-auth). This name should be unique and only one may be registered at a time.

• handler -- Type that will be used as the authentication handler during network requests.

name: str

handler: type[ChannelAuthBase]

class CondaPostCommand

Bases: NamedTuple

Return type to use when defining a conda post-command plugin hook.

For details on how this is used, see conda_post_commands().

Parameters:

• name -- Post-command name (e.g., custom_plugin_post_commands).

• action -- Callable which contains the code to be run.

• run_for -- Represents the command(s) this will be run on (e.g. install or create).

name: str

action: Callable[[str], None]

run_for: set[str]

class CondaPreCommand

Bases: NamedTuple

Return type to use when defining a conda pre-command plugin hook.

For details on how this is used, see conda_pre_commands().

Parameters:

• name -- Pre-command name (e.g., custom_plugin_pre_commands).

• action -- Callable which contains the code to be run.

• run_for -- Represents the command(s) this will be run on (e.g. install or create).

name: str

action: Callable[[str], None]

run_for: set[str]

class CondaSolver

Bases: NamedTuple

Return type to use when defining a conda solver plugin hook.

For details on how this is used, see conda_solvers().

Parameters:

• name -- Solver name (e.g., custom-solver).

• backend -- Type that will be instantiated as the solver backend.

name: str

backend: type[conda.core.solve.Solver]

class CondaSubcommand

Return type to use when defining a conda subcommand plugin hook.

For details on how this is used, see conda_subcommands().

Parameters:

• name -- Subcommand name (e.g., conda my-subcommand-name).

• summary -- Subcommand summary, will be shown in conda --help.

• action -- Callable that will be run when the subcommand is invoked.

• configure_parser -- Callable that will be run when the subcommand parser is initialized.

name: str

summary: str

action: Callable[[argparse.Namespace | tuple[str]], int | None]

configure_parser: Callable[[argparse.ArgumentParser], None] | None

class CondaVirtualPackage

Bases: NamedTuple

Return type to use when defining a conda virtual package plugin hook.

For details on how this is used, see conda_virtual_packages().

Parameters:

• name -- Virtual package name (e.g., my_custom_os).

• version -- Virtual package version (e.g., 1.2.3).

• build -- Virtual package build string (e.g., x86_64).

name: str

version: str | None

build: str | None
