pydot v1.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2016-07-01 // almost 8 years ago
    • 👌 support Python 3
    • ⬆️ bumped dependency to pyparsing >= 2.1.4
    • ✅ tests running on Travis CI
    • ✅ tests require chardet
    • ✅ detect character encoding for most test files using the package chardet

    API:

    • on all operating systems, search GraphViz executables in environment $PATH, using subprocess.Popen. No paths hard-coded due to security and privacy issues.

    • ➕ add option to pass GraphViz executable name or absolute path as prog to pydot.Dot.write_* methods. This provides an alternative to adding GraphViz to the $PATH.

    • the functions:

      • pydot.graph_from_dot_data
      • pydot.graph_from_dot_file
      • dot_parser.parse_dot_data changed to always return a list of graphs, instead of behaving differently for singletons.

    • require that the user explicitly give an encoding to the function pydot.graph_from_dot_file, with default encoding same as io.open.

    • decode to unicode at program boundaries, and treat binary images as bytes, for more compatibility with python 3. Use io.open, instead of the built-in open.

    • rm function pydot.set_graphviz_executables

    • rm attribute pydot.Dot.progs
