build VS pyunifiprotect

If it's pure Python, the only packaging file you need is `pyproject.toml`. You can fill that file with packaging metadata per PEP 518 and PEP 621, including using modern build tooling like flit[1] for the build backend and build[2] for the frontend.

With that, you entire package build (for all distribution types) should be reducible to `python -m build`. Here's an example of a full project doing everything with just `pyproject.toml`[3] (FD: my project).

RE the dislike of a "third-party tool", what do you mean by this? All the major tools for packaging in Python are under the PyPA, e.g. - twine - build - hatch

building wheels/sdists to upload or install: build

python3 setup.py sdist bdist_wheel - no need for an sdist when building wheels, also I'd recommend using pypa/build instead.

The first step is to turn the internal package into a wheel (a *.whl file). We can use the build tool for this purpose. After installing build with pip we can run it as follows:

Shouldn't https://github.com/pypa/build help? I don't think it has enough features yet but I was under the impression that was the distro solution.

Also, MANIFEST.in is not required. There is no such file in this project of mine. It is fully handled by the packing pipeline.

Hello! I am the current maintainer of the Python library pyunifiprotect. I have never made a post for the library on here before, but I figured it was finally time with the recent Backup CLI I started adding features to.

That is not correct. The option is just not exposed in the frontend on any of the official applications. I exposed the option in both the UniFi Protect CLI/library I made and it is exposed as service in Home Assistant as well.

"Privacy Mode" is basically a compute feature provided by pyunifiprotect, which is what Home Assistant uses. The switch in HA does exactly what I said in Protect terms:

But I do I have a WIP PR to get a Docker container up for people to use. https://github.com/briis/pyunifiprotect/pull/194. Unfortunately, it is pretty big (~700MB) because ffmpeg is a fat boy.

If you want to pair multiple doorbells, you can either use pyunifiprotect or Home Assistant.

I would recommend checking out https://github.com/briis/pyunifiprotect to see what’s available. Also if you want to download historical events you can use https://github.com/danielfernau/unifi-protect-video-downloader
