When patching a single file in Pytorch, repack_whl.py will print over 20k lines of RECORD.patch. The reason is that the original RECORD has all filenames quoted for some reason, but the automatically generated one quotes only when required (such as commas in file names, see #2269).

This PR refactors the wheelmaker.py to still use the csv.writer to auto-quote, but adds an additional detection for forced quote usage. This makes the RECORD.patch match intuitive expectations of what could change.

There are some relevant existing tests in examples/wheel/wheel_test.py and tests/whl_filegroup/extract_wheel_files_test.py

Summary of Changes

Hello @lalten, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves an issue where repack_whl.py generated excessively large diffs for RECORD.patch files, particularly when dealing with wheels like PyTorch that consistently quote all filenames in their RECORD files. The changes introduce a mechanism to detect the original quoting style and ensure the repacked RECORD file adheres to it, significantly reducing the size and noise of generated patches and improving the efficiency of the patching process.

Highlights

  • Consistent RECORD file quoting: Introduced logic to detect if an original RECORD file had all filenames quoted and, if so, ensures the repacked RECORD file maintains this quoting style. This prevents large, unnecessary diffs in RECORD.patch files.
  • Refactored wheelmaker.py: The _WhlFile class now accepts a quote_all_filenames parameter. A new helper method _quote_filename was added to handle conditional quoting, utilizing csv.writer for standard quoting and applying additional quotes when quote_all_filenames is true.
  • Improved RECORD file generation: The process for generating the RECORD file has been updated to use string manipulation and the new _quote_filename method, making the output more consistent with the original file's format.

Code Review

This pull request effectively addresses an issue with inconsistent quoting in RECORD files, which is a great improvement, especially for large wheels like PyTorch. The strategy of detecting and replicating the original quoting style is well-implemented. I've included a few suggestions to enhance the solution's robustness, maintainability, and performance, particularly concerning the handling of empty RECORD files and memory efficiency during file generation.
