Inline comments:
In `@recipes/py-rattler/references/exceptions.md`:
- Around line 5-7: The example import uses an invalid ellipsis; replace the line
"from rattler.exceptions import SolverError, InvalidVersionError, ..." with a
syntactically valid import listing real exception names or a trailing comment,
e.g. import the actual exceptions you want (SolverError, InvalidVersionError,
ConstraintError, etc.) or write "from rattler import exceptions # add specific
exceptions here" so the example is valid Python and references the real symbols
SolverError and InvalidVersionError.
In `@recipes/py-rattler/references/package-records.md`:
- Line 24: The constructor parameter type for PackageRecord.features is
incorrect: change the annotation in the PackageRecord constructor from
"list[str] | None" to "str | None" (the field is a single deprecated string, not
a list); update the constructor signature and any inline documentation in the
same file that references "features" to use "str | None" so it matches the
py-rattler API and the field usage elsewhere (e.g., where PackageRecord is
constructed/validated).
In `@recipes/py-rattler/references/prefix-records.md`:
- Around line 91-99: Update the properties table for PrefixPathsEntry to match
the constructor nullability: mark file_mode, sha256, sha256_in_prefix, and
size_in_bytes as optional by adding "| None" to their types in the documentation
so they match the constructor signature of PrefixPathsEntry(relative_path,
path_type, prefix_placeholder=None, file_mode: FileMode | None = None, sha256:
bytes | None = None, sha256_in_prefix: bytes | None = None, size_in_bytes: int |
None = None, original_path=None).
In `@recipes/py-rattler/references/pty.md`:
- Around line 55-63: The example uses top-level await with PtyProcess.async_read
and PtyProcess.async_wait which causes a SyntaxError in a regular .py file; wrap
the example in an async def (e.g., async def main()) and move the calls to proc
= PtyProcess(...), await proc.async_read(), and await proc.async_wait() into
that function, then invoke it with asyncio.run(main()) so the async_read and
async_wait calls run inside an event loop.
In `@recipes/py-rattler/references/shell-activation.md`:
- Around line 99-108: The ActivationResult docs currently list the `path`
property type as `Path` but the API returns a list of strings; update the
ActivationResult property table so the `path` row shows the correct type
`list[str]` (or equivalent "list of str") and adjust the Description if needed
to say "The new PATH value after activation as a list of filesystem path
strings" to match the behavior of the ActivationResult model.
In `@recipes/py-rattler/references/solving-installing.md`:
- Around line 145-157: The example uses await outside an async function (causing
SyntaxError); wrap the async calls in an async def main() and run it with
asyncio.run(main()), and ensure imports include asyncio and MatchSpec;
specifically update the snippet so solve(...) and install(...) are invoked
inside an async main() function (using await), keep Client.default_client()
inside that function, then call asyncio.run(main()) to execute it.

py-rattler PackageRecord features type documentation
💡 Result:
In py-rattler, PackageRecord.features is a writable, optional string field (str | None) on rattler.repo_data.PackageRecord.
The documentation notes that “features” is deprecated (it was used for solver feature sets, but is no longer supported) and recommends using mutex packages instead. The examples show it being None by default, set to a string (e.g. "feature1"), and reset back to None. [1]
Source: [1]
Fix constructor type for PackageRecord.features from list[str] | None to str | None.
Line 24 documents the constructor parameter as list[str] | None, but line 69 and the actual py-rattler API show it should be str | None. The field is a single deprecated string, not a list. Update line 24 to match.

Correct PrefixPathsEntry property types to match constructor nullability.
The constructor marks file_mode, sha256, sha256_in_prefix, and size_in_bytes as optional (with | None), but the properties table documents them as non-optional types. Update the properties table to include | None for these fields to match the constructor signature and reflect the actual API behavior.

🌐 Web query:
Is top-level await valid in regular Python scripts, or only in specific environments (e.g., REPL/Jupyter)?
💡 Result:
Top-level await is not valid in regular Python scripts (.py). In standard Python syntax, await may only appear inside a coroutine function body (i.e., inside async def ...); using it at module top level raises a SyntaxError (“await outside function”). [1]
It can work at “top level” only in special interactive environments that intentionally support it by running an event loop and/or transforming input code, such as:
- The
asyncioREPL (python -m asyncio), which explicitly lets you “Useawaitdirectly …” at the prompt. [2] - IPython/Jupyter, which supports “autoawait” and allows
awaitat top-level scope in cells/REPL. [3]
In a script, the usual pattern is:
import asyncio
async def main():
await something()
asyncio.run(main())Wrap async example in async def function to fix invalid top-level await usage.
Lines 59 and 61 show await statements at module level, which is invalid Python syntax outside special interactive environments (asyncio REPL, Jupyter). The code will fail with SyntaxError: 'await' outside async function if copied into a regular .py file.
Wrap the code in an async def main(): function and execute it with asyncio.run(main()):
Corrected example
import asyncio
from rattler import PtyProcess
async def main():
proc = PtyProcess(["python3", "-c", "print('hello')"])
output = await proc.async_read()
print(output.decode())
status = await proc.async_wait()

py-rattler ActivationResult path property type
💡 Result:
In py-rattler, ActivationResult.path is effectively a list[str] (a list of filesystem path strings).
Reason: the underlying Rust field is path: Vec<PathBuf> in rattler_shell::activation::ActivationResult [1], and PyO3 converts PathBuf values to Python str objects at the API boundary [2].
Sources: [1] [2]
Correct the path property type in the ActivationResult table.
The path property is documented as type Path, but the actual py-rattler API returns a list[str] (a list of filesystem path strings converted from the underlying Vec<PathBuf>). Update the table to reflect the correct type.

Inconsistent async usage in the install() example.
The await keyword is used outside of an async function context. Unlike the solve() example which properly wraps code in async def main() and asyncio.run(main()), this example will raise a SyntaxError.
