V3 Preview

Pact Python is currently undergoing a major rewrite which will be released with the 3.0.0 version. This rewrite will replace the existing Ruby backend with a Rust backend which will provide a significant performance improvement and will allow us to support more features in the future. You can find more information about this rewrite in this tracking issue on GitHub.

You can preview the new version by using the [pact.v3 module][pact.v3]. The new version is not yet feature complete, and may be subject to changes. Having said that, we would love to get your feedback on the new version:

For any issues you find, please raise an issue on GitHub.
For any feedback you have, please join the discussion either on GitHub Discussions or in the #pact-python channel on the Pact Foundation Slack.

Installation

The latest version of Pact Python can be installed from PyPi:

pip install pact-python
# 🚀 now write some tests!

Requirements

Pact Python tries to support all versions of Python that are still supported by the Python Software Foundation. Older version of Python may work, but are not officially supported.

In order to support the broadest range of use cases, Pact Python tries to impose the least restrictions on the versions of libraries that it uses.

Do Not Track

You can disable tracking by setting the environment variable PACT_DO_NOT_TRACK=1:
