As the appdirs repositories, maintainership has dried up (ActiveState/appdirs#79) we've forked the repository under platformdirs (https://github.com/platformdirs/platformdirs) name.

We've merged some existing open PRs and adding Android support (platformdirs/platformdirs#15) is currently in the works. We encourage black to switch to it.

Sounds like a smart move to me. Thanks @gaborbernat !

  • Can we please just make a note in CHANGES.md about the switch just to inform people

@ofek just curious, what changed in the fork to make import time faster?

Oh nice, one less unmaintained dependency, and that import time reduction! 🎉 I hope the pipenv locking wasn't too painful :)

Thank you for the PR!


By the way, if time allows it would be great if you could add any comments on your contributing experience here: #2238. I understand that you're probably busy though. P.S. thanks for maintaining virtualenv 😃

Add new platformdirs dependencies as hidden imports when creating
PyInstaller-based binaries.

platformdirs imports the module for each platform dynamically, which
PyInstaller is unable to correctly detect for packing. By adding the
modules as hidden imports, we are telling PyInstaller to include the
modules in the packaged binary.

This issue seems to have been introduce when switching to platformdirs
in #2375. fixes #2464

Commit history before merge:

* Add hidden import to PyInstaller build

Add new platformdirs dependency as a hidden import when creating
PyInstaller based binaries.

* Only include the platformdirs for the relevant os
