We should set up Github Actions for pushing to PyPI. I propose we set up the actions in the following way:

1. The tests and style check are run
2. The package is pushed to Test PyPI
3. The package is pushed to actual PyPI

We need to decide on a source of truth for the package version. By default, Poetry expects the version to be in the pyproject.toml file. This can conflict with the version from the git tag.

In the near future, when poetry 1.2.0 drops, we can switch to poetry-version-plugin, which uses the version from the latest git tag.

Currently, we can do one of the following things:

Automatically set the version from git tag

This is similar to poetry-version-plugin. In the Github action that runs on tag, we use sed to replace the version variable in the pyproject.toml file before building. This guarantees that the version built is always correct when we push the git tag. The downside is that, when you want to build the package locally, you need to manually specify the version. This package won't usually be built locally though, and every version on PyPI will be deployed by Github Actions, but it adds another step to local building. Who may want to build the package locally, anyway? A couple of us contributors, and maybe some Linux package maintainers. I think this is a sane trade-off.

Check if the tag version and pyproject.toml version match

We can also expect that the version in pyproject.toml is always correct, and if it mismatches the tag version - an error is thrown and the package isn't pushed to PyPI. The downside to this is that if you, for example, have v0.4.13 in pyproject.toml, but you tagged the project with v0.5.0, the process fails and you can't fix the issue without force-pushing which is poor form. You'd have to post the fix as v0.5.1 or do that force push.

I vote for the first option.

PyPI and test PyPI

I think the easiest way to do this is if I set the actions up on my own fork, and test on 'Test PyPI', with my own tokens. Maybe even test the first version on PyPI.

When I'm certain everything works properly, I'll transfer over the packages on PyPI and Test PyPI to you to maintain and own. You need to create accounts on PyPI and Test PyPI, and also to generate API tokens for pushing afterwards. If you plan on maintaining more packages, you should have one API key per package. You need to give me your PyPI username so that I can transfer the packages when I'm done.

This gets me every time...

I'm facing an issue I'm not 100% sure if it is related to my lack of understandig data transfer from Ki-nTree to Kicad, some misconfiguration or simply a bug. Error message looks like:

To ease organising at component creation in Inventree, it would be beneficial to have Ki-nTree automatically create a new sub-category (or category even) if it's not found in Inventree. This would be useful for times when the existing categories does not match, and one has not been created in Inventree yet.

If I were to try turning this into a Python package that can be pushed to PyPI or at least installed via pip, would this be a welcome changeset? I'd make a pyproject.toml and setup.py.

How would we benefit from this? I could then make a package in Arch Linux's AUR, other people could package it for other distros, a large number of people could even just do a pip install and the package would run.

I'm trying to get Ki-nTree working for the first time, but I'm getting the following error when I click "Submit":

Here is my user_files/kicad.yaml:

KICAD_ENABLE: true
KICAD_FOOTPRINTS_PATH: /Users/chris/KiCad/Ki-nTree/footprints/
KICAD_SYMBOLS_PATH: /Users/chris/KiCad/Ki-nTree/symbols/
KICAD_TEMPLATES_PATH: /Users/chris/KiCad/Ki-nTree/templates/

These folders exist on my system:

$ ls /Users/chris/KiCad/Ki-nTree/
footprints symbols    templates

Any suggestions for how to figure out what's going wrong?

Installed in pipenv because the aur package depends on packages i cant seem to find, python-inventree?

Not exactly sure if its an issue with just this part or others, thank you for making this software though! this should automate a lot!

Now that inventree/InvenTree#1417 has been merged and InvenTree supports ManufacturerParts, I'm wondering if you would be open to adding a separate "Supplier Link" field which uses product_url as the default value:

This would map to the existing Supplier Link field in InvenTree:

The other requested change would be to change the existing Datasheet field to map to the new ManufacturerPart Link in InvenTree:

What do you think?

Thanks for a really great tool! I've managed to get this working but not without a couple of minor hiccups I thought it might be helpful to share. I've done a system-wide install on macOS Big Sur 11.6. The processor is an M1, which may be important to this issue because I've found there's very little support for installing certain common python packages like numpy and scipy on M1 machines. But I don't have any concrete reason why it would cause the issues I've had...

Anyway, to the issues I found:

1. I had to use pip3 install -U kintree rather than pip install -U kintree. That may just be because of the way I have python and pip installed on my machine. Probably not your problem but I mention it for completeness.
2. tkinter was not installed so I had to brew install that. From what I gather that should have been included in the python3.9 installation but for some reason was not. Again, probably not your problem.
3. When I first ran the kintree command, it told me it couldn't find the 'images/logo.png' file called in line 913 of kintree_gui.py. I went looking to see where this file might be but I couldn't see a directory called images or a file called logo.png anywhere nearby. I figured it was probably just decorative so I just commented it out. The GUI then launched nicely.
4. I put in my newly acquired Mouser and DigiKey API keys and successfully searched for some parts on each service. However, they wouldn't add to the KiCAD library I had specified. The error in Terminal was that it couldn't find the KiCAD templates files. I had seen these back in the homebrew directory in /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.9/site-packages/kintree/kicad/templates/ so I found the kicad.yaml file in my User folder and put in the fully resolved path. It now successfully adds these parts to my KiCAD library and I'm very happy with this!

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong but at the moment if there is a unique footprint associated with the part, I presume I have to download that file separately and tell kintree where it is so they can be associated. I've used Library Loader on Windows before and it fetches the footprint and 3D model (if they're available) alongside the symbol. Am I missing something in kintree? Or would this information not be quite so straightforward for kintree to obtain alongside the rest of the product information?

Thanks for your time!

When I add a new new part type in Ki-nTree, I get the following errors if the category and parameters don't already exist in InvenTree:

I can create these manually in InvenTree (which is what I've been doing for Category), but I'm wondering if there is a more "automatic" way to populate these parameters into InvenTree so that I don't have to add them manually each time I add a new part type.

The Python Inventree module, used here to communicate with Inventree, uses requests for communication. Requests uses python-provided CA certificates by default, which means your self-signed cert won't work even if you installed it with trust anchor <cert>.crt. The solution is to export the env variable REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt before importing the inventree package, which tells requests to use Linux system CA certs instead. This should be done on Linux only, ignored for other platforms.

Do you agree? Shall I implement this?

• The method iterates through all the part in the list of parts

• inside the loop, when no match is found between parameters or between name and description, the method checks if there is a new manufacturer part.
  

• In the case that the MPN already exist in the database, compare is set to true and the loop breaks, returning the pk of the first element in the part_list.
  

Expected behavior:

• The method should return the pk of the part with the matching manufacturing part number

Following this issue

it would be desirable to change the link in your repo to 'kicad.org'

Just documenting some issues I ran into for anybody else trying to run invoke build on macOS.

First issue:

$ invoke build

Stdout:



Stderr:

OSError: Python library not found: Python3, libpython3.9.dylib, libpython3.9m.dylib, Python, .Python
    This would mean your Python installation doesn't come with proper library files.
    This usually happens by missing development package, or unsuitable build parameters of Python installation.

    * On Debian/Ubuntu, you would need to install Python development packages
      * apt-get install python3-dev
      * apt-get install python-dev
    * If you're building Python by yourself, please rebuild your Python with `--enable-shared` (or, `--enable-framework` on Darwin)

I was able to fix this by rebuilding python with PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-framework". I'm using pyenv to install python, so in my case, the full command to build python with a working tkinter was:

brew install tcl-tk
env \
  PATH="$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/bin:$PATH" \
  LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/lib" \
  CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix tcl-tk)/include" \

Overwriting the dist/config with the config directory fixed the issues for me.

Have just started to use Inventree (and Ki-nTree) to populate my inventory system, and have come across a crash on a few of the LCSC parts. It looks like it just needs a type check before calling len against it.

@eeintech just wanted to let you know about a couple minor changes I've hacked into my local copy of to Ki-nTree to tailor it for my own usage, and see if you'd be interested in a PR to make them into configuration options in the settings.

1. For part description, I use the detailed_description from Digi-Key instead of product_description
2. For keywords, I use the product_description instead of inventree_part['description']
3. For datasheet, I use the product_url since this ends up being the URL on the SupplierPart page in InvenTree.

Also, once inventree/InvenTree#1417 gets merged in, I'd like to add the ability for Ki-nTree to push both the primary_datasheet into the ManufacturerPart and the product_url into the SupplierPart.

It would be ideal if the ManufacturerPart in InvenTree eventually supports separate URLs for the Manufacturer's product page vs. the datasheet so that we can have both links available on the MPN. For example, if we look at 497-11767-ND:

ManufacturerPart

• Manufacturer's product URL: https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32f405rg.html
• Manufacturer's datasheet URL (primary_datasheet): https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/datasheet/ef/92/76/6d/bb/c2/4f/f7/DM00037051.pdf/files/DM00037051.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00037051.pdf

SupplierPart

• Supplier's product URL (product_url): https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/stmicroelectronics/STM32F405RGT6/497-11767-ND/2754208

Hi,

I have been able to setup an InvenTree server on AWS and able to connect to it through Ki-ntree (V.0.3.2). I am also able to use Digikey's API ID. InvenTree details are given below:

The problem is ... once in a while I am able to create parts using Ki-nTree ... but "most of the times" when I try to create a part through Ki-nTree, I am getting the below error (sorry for the lengthy error message):

Could you please let me know if it possible to rectify this issue? Apart from Ki-nTree, don't have any issues in using InvenTree itself through a browser.

Hello,
I can't get any LCSC part. Error is too generic, so I tried to debug:

@timeout(dec_timeout=30)
def search_timeout():
url = 'https://wwwapi.lcsc.com/v1/products/detail?product_code=' + part_number
response = requests.get(url)
return response.json()

The request.get(url) is hitting a 404 :-(, however if paste the same url string in a browser I can get the full page.

Maybe they don't like anymore our user agent?

Thanks for your wonderful piece of software

I could not find the step telling me to run kintree_setup_inventree prior to being able to import parts to InvenTree.
I ran through a lot of "category does not exist" problems before I started combing through code.
It would be very helpful to have this step outlined in the setup directions.

I'm trying to bulk import parts from digikey into inventree is this possible with your tool?

An option to disable InvenTree opening after adding a new part would be helpful when entering a large volume of parts at a time.

When I am importing data for a part from mouser into InvenTree, it seems as if Ki-nTree fetches Parameter data but it does not insert it (properly) into InvenTree.

From the log it looks like it found (some of) the matching parameters and also populates them:

[MAIN]  Creating parameters
[INFO]  Success: The following parameters were created:
--->    Value
--->    Frequency
--->    Interface Type

--->    Number of Contacts
--->    Number of Rows
--->    Orientation
--->    Package Height
--->    Pitch
--->    Polarity
--->    Shielding
--->    Temperature Range

But when I look at the InvenTree page of the created part, all of them are empty (= having a dash '-' as value).

When I run the same exact part through the Digi-Key importer, (some of) the parameters get populated:

I Also get some [INFO] Warning: Failed to compare part with database - I don't know if that is related or not.

Let me know if I can provide more info.

I am running Ki-nTree from the GIT repo (most recent commit)

Might be able to get the guys at work sold on doing this. Just need some insight on if it is a crazy idea before floating it around the company! Thanks!

Would it not be useful to import pricing information from mouser, lcsc and digikey into InvenTree?

I do know InvenTree's pricing system is currently being overhauled, so this would possibly be a FR for when 0.9 releases.

Ki-nTree is designed with the idea of a top level parent category, and then a subcategory. This is a little restrictive and doesn't match how my categories are set up in Inventree.

I've prepared a patch to implement hierarchical categories for the setup function and the user category select screen, but before proposing a PR I thought I'd open an Issue for discussion.

I don't understand why Digikey's categories are merged with the user's category list in this screen, nor the rationale behind integration of categories with Kicad. I think there are a few valid options for how these could be handled, so if you are open to adding this feature could you let me know how you'd like it integrated best?

Thanks.

This may be an unpopular idea, and I'm fully aware why. I'm not even sure it does make sense at this point, but still, it's worth considering.

I saw that you considered migrating the project to PySimpleGUIQt. This does make sense, but that project is really in its infancy. Since the GUI part of this project isn't too complex, it would make sense to port the whole thing into raw PySide2.

The benefits?

It's a much more polished library, with fewer bugs, and is a thin layer over Qt which is pretty solid. If you decide to add some more advanced functionality to this program, it's going to be much easier to do in PySide2/Qt than in a PySimpleGUI derivative. It's not too much work to port the app (because it's small), and it's not much harder to use generally, while allowing for improved functionality.

Actual issues solved

Input field behavior on the current version (with PySimpleGUI) is abysmal: if you select text and paste, the selected text doesn't get overwritten. Ctrl + A doesn't work. All this works beautifully in PySide2.

Ki-nTree is licensed under the GPL-3.0 License, including the KiCad templates as far as I can tell. I'm not a lawyer, but I think this means that any symbols created from these templates also must be published under GPL-3.0 License.

From the GPL FAQ:

More generally, when a program translates its input into some other form, the copyright status of the output inherits that of the input it was generated from.

I think this means that it's not possible to redistribute the generated symbols under a different license.

If this was not intentional, would you consider changing the license for the included KiCad templates and any other "inputs" so that the outputs from Ki-nTree can be redistributed under any license?

I'm trying to create parts in invenTree from digikey. Unfortunately I get a crash during part creation, which leaves me with parts that are successfully created and have basic info like name, image, description and keywords but are missing any parameters, supplier information, etc.

Here's a log of a part creation:

It seems to fail when getting no or the wrong response while fetching parameter templates from invenTree.
Here's the log of the invenTree nginx proxy container:
https://pastebin.com/9Du8xfHh

I checked the last accessed URL (GET /api/part/category/6/parameters/?fetch_parent=True) in my browser and get a full response by the django API.

Steps to reproduce

1. install Ki-nTree via pip
2. run the setup (python3 -m kintree.setup_inventree)
   Note that I get a few errors here during parameter creation, see below
3. Configure and verify both invenTree connection and digikey API connection within Ki-nTree
4. Try to add a part

Have installed Ki-nTree, (Along with functioning Inventree) and all good until near end where an error
"
File "kintree_gui.py", line 804, in main
new_part, part_pk, part_data = inventree_interface.inventree_create(part_info=part_info,
TypeError: inventree_create() got an unexpected keyword argument 'progress_window'
"
is thrown.

Looking at Python, the function call below is mismatched to the implementation, a simple change to the call made it work just fine! - Not sure which file is 'old' or 'new' so not prepared to muck with your github - maybe I just caught it mid change... 😀

(Parameter commented out & substituted about line 810 in kintree_gui.py)
new_part, part_pk, part_data = inventree_interface.inventree_create(part_info=part_info,
categories=categories,
kicad=settings.ENABLE_KICAD,
symbol=symbol,
footprint=footprint,
#progress_window=progressbar)
show_progress=True)

Working now - and in total awe of functionality - thankyou so much for this!!

I have followed the instructions as outlined at https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree/#get-digi-key-api-token.
I even found a similar issue #19 and tried the setting in chrome without success.

When I enter the settings for the Digi-Key API and press the test button, it takes me to the Digi-key site and has me log in and then returns this or similar "https://localhost:8139/digikey_callback?code=yne1bSDp&scope=" This looks correct from what I am seeing online.

Chrome retunes at the site can't be reached, it is like the localhost is not working.

Any suggestions on what to try next? I am a little lost. Thanks for your help and Ideas.

When trying to import a part via Mouser, the import/download of the image fails every time.
Is there anything (besides the Mouser Part API Key) that I need to consider?

See the following log output:

[MAIN]  Generating Internal Part Number
[INFO]  Internal Part Number = CON-000090-00
[INFO]  Success: Added new part to InvenTree
[INFO]  Warning: Image download timed out (3s)
[INFO]  Warning: Image download timed out (3s)
[INFO]  Warning: Image download timed out (3s)
[TREE]  Warning: Failed to upload part image

The link to the image that is presented in the Update Part Data window does work when I copy-paste it into my browser. So the data received via the API looks to be fine.

If I run the same exact part number via the Digi-Key import, the image appears just fine.

Let me know when you need more info from me. :)

Edit: Sorry, I should have mentioned that I only use it to create InvenTree parts. I have not used/tried the KiCAD import.

I am running Ki-nTree from the GIT repo (most recent commit)

Hello and many thanks for creating this tool.

Setting up a new environment with Kicad and inventree, I was not able to initialize the inventree databases. Adding new parts with kintree fails with
←[93m[INFO] Warning: Parameter "Between Board Height" not found in supplier data←[0m
←[93m[INFO] Warning: Parameter "Screw, Thread Size" not found in supplier data←[0m
←[93m[TREE] Warning: Subcategory "Switch" does not exist←[0m
←[91m[ERROR] Categories (Mechanicals - Switch) does not exist in InvenTree←[0m

As documentation is missing any hints I came to use kintree_setup_inventree.exe to initialize inventree but it fails with

C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_xxx\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\Scripts> .\kintree_setup_inventree.exe

AttributeError: module 'kintree.setup_inventree' has no attribute 'main'

I used Python = 3.9 and pip = 21.3.1 for compiling.

Many thanks for any hints of what I'm doing wrong.

The minimum permissions required for a parts-creation user are as shown:

I'm not sure if the View/Change perms are required.
It is good practice to limit automated tools to the bare minimum permission set they need, and I think it would be ideal to have these defined in documentation.

It has been discussed before, but I'll open up this feature request on its own. It would be great to have the ability to call Ki-nTree from another python script, bypassing the GUI and feeding it parameters like: kintree.add_part(part_no='C123456', supplier='LCSC', inventree=True, kicad=False)

This would be ideal when loading/creating a bunch of components from a database or API.

Hello I tried to launch Ki-nTree on my MacBook Pro. After done the installation step I tried to test the connection with Digi-Key. Unfortunately it doesn't work and I get this errors. I received in my browser Auth code.
Second Warning appear after I clicked Allow in my browse.

Description
When i copy an article number from the mouser site and copy it to the search field, e.g.
"614-SMTU2032-LF", it copies the trailing \n with the article number.
This creates an error when searching.

Hi,
I build Ki-nTree under Linux and Windows. However, on Windows I was struggeling:

$ invoke build

1st) xargs not found --> I had to add C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin to PATH

2nd) wrong syntax

 ←[95m[MAIN]     Cleaning project directory←[0m
FIND: Parameter format not correct
rm: missing operand

by commenting a line in tasks.py, I got a quick workaround for me (see git diff at the bottom).

3rd) python error:
AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'
uninstalling typing did the job.
pip uninstall typing

With those fixes, it did work for me.
(Sorry, if I am inexact/on the wrong place here; it's my first open source bug report).

Hope that information may help you or someone.
Thanks for sharing the Ki-nTree!
Markus

Create a demo platform (web server / virtual machine image) for easier start. Just leaving this as low priority to do here 🙂

Python 3.10 migration issues?

❯ pacman -Q python-kintree
python-kintree 0.5.3-1

Let me know if theres anything more i can provide!

Just two small suggestion that I can across when using the tool today (absolutely love it btw!)

• Would it be possible to expand the categories to cover things like thermal management and fans? Would love to see the tool pick up things like fan size, voltage, rpm and noise level from the Digi-Key listing.

• I would also love to see the option to choose to have the manufacturer's part number as default on the InvenTree Part Details for either the Part name or Description record, not just on Part Parameters (default options/field mapping).

Hey all,

Are there any known problems with the linking of the program with the digikey-API? The installation succeeded on my PC, but when i enter the client and secret i get from following the video posted about the digikey API, i get an error (401) saying the clientID is invalid...
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Kind regards

I've packaged kintree on Arch Linux's Arch User Repository (AUR):

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-kintree/

I also packaged a couple of the dependencies in order to make it work (inventree, digikey-api, certauth, schematics), since they weren't available.

You can add a line to the readme: kintree is available on Arch Linux's AUR as python-kintree.

It would be great to expand the functionality to take Mouser and LCSC part numbers.

I've thrown together a quick version (For LCSC) of this myself, modifying the digikey_search function and the snapeda example. It simply checks if the part_number begins with a 'C' and is between 5 and 7 digits letters long. Then it calls the https://wwwapi.lcsc.com/v1/products/detail?product_code={} endpoint to get the part data.

Mouser would be a bit trickier, but at least they have an official API at https://www.mouser.com/api-hub/

I was following the directions at https://github.com/sparkmicro/Ki-nTree/#get-digi-key-api-token but Chrome did not give me the option to "Proceed to localhost (unsafe)".

I was able to finally get this working by setting this flag in Chrome chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost:

Also, when registering an app on the Digi-Key website, the OAuth Callback needs to be set to https://localhost:8139/digikey_callback

The / might be the problem!

When adding a part using the Digikey API the link to the part is "digikey.com....." while I would like it to be "digikey.be...".

Is that something that could be tweaked in Ki-nTree or is this specific to Digikey.

I propose adopting black to format the source code in the project. This is a bit controversial, because the first commit after doing so would likely change every line in the project since the project uses tabs for indentation, contrary to pep8.

I also propose adding configs for mypy and flake8, and gradually adding types to the code. We could then use pre-commit to run all these tools and make sure the code is formatted and linted before committing. Here's one of my packages as an example: srtools.
