Compatibility

Runtime​

Python≥ 3.12
Dash≥ 4.1.0, < 5.0.0

Weaverlet 0.3.x dropped support for Python < 3.12. If you can't upgrade, pin to Weaverlet 0.2.x. It remains importable but no longer receives updates.

Breaking changes from 0.2 → 0.3​

The 0.3 release is mostly backwards-compatible at the API surface but breaks on environment:

  • Python < 3.12 no longer installs. Pre-3.12 syntax/typing features used internally.
  • Dash 4.x required. app.run_server(...) is gone; use app.run(...).
  • jupyter-dash removed as a dependency. Dash 4 absorbed Jupyter support into core; pass jupyter_mode to app.run() instead of WeaverletApp(jupyter_mode=True).
  • Identifier ID format changed from {hex_id}-{name}-{attr} to {ClassName}_{attr}_{hex_id_of_instance}. User code is unaffected. IDs are opaque tokens accessed via self.<identifier>: unless you were comparing the string form, which you should never do.
  • get_page_root() removed. Unused since 0.2.
  • Build system switched from setup.py (setuptools) to pyproject.toml (PEP 621 / hatchling). pip install weaverlet keeps working.

For the full list, see the Changelog.

Backwards-compatible imports​

The 0.2 import paths still work:

# Both of these work in 0.3+:
from weaverlet import WeaverletComponent           # preferred
from weaverlet.base import WeaverletComponent       # legacy, still supported

from weaverlet import SimpleRouterComponent
from weaverlet.components import SimpleRouterComponent

Prefer the top-level imports in new code; the submodule paths are kept for compatibility but won't be deprecated soon.

Versioning policy​

Weaverlet follows semantic versioning:

  • 0.x.y patch releases never break API.
  • 0.x minor releases may break API; check the Changelog.
  • 1.0 is not yet on the roadmap.
