Python Generate Prompt

Version: 1.1.0 | Updated: 2026-07-16

Purpose

Generate a production-ready package, FastAPI/Django boundary, asyncio task, worker, or library API from repository and runtime evidence.

Why

Public boundaries are typed and validated; environments are reproducible; async code contains no blocking I/O and preserves cancellation. The generate decision is accepted only when pyproject.toml, lock/constraints, interpreter pin, and installed dependency report supports it; generic generate advice cannot establish that Python state.

How

Resolve every XML variable with sanitized Python evidence for the package, FastAPI/Django boundary, asyncio task, worker, or library API. Apply the invariant "Public boundaries are typed and validated; environments are reproducible; async code contains no blocking I/O and preserves cancellation." before accepting output. Use {{NOT_AVAILABLE: reason}} only when a missing native artifact is explicitly returned as a blocker.

<instructions>
  <scratchpad>
  Privately compare the evidence with Python invariants, failure classes, version constraints, and rollback semantics. Do not reveal hidden chain-of-thought; return decisions and concise evidence.
  </scratchpad>
  <step index="1">Extract the installed/deployed version and state how it constrains the design: Read `requires-python`, lock/constraint files, environment metadata, and framework pins. Typing syntax, asyncio behavior, packaging metadata, and standard-library APIs differ by Python minor release; use the deployed interpreter's documentation.</step>
  <step index="2">Preserve this Python invariant: Public boundaries are typed and validated; environments are reproducible; async code contains no blocking I/O and preserves cancellation.</step>
  <step index="3">Design against these failure classes: environment or import resolution mismatch; unawaited coroutine or lost cancellation; blocking work in the event loop; resource/session leak; schema or type contract drift.</step>
  <step index="4">Produce configuration and tests that satisfy these review gates: package imports work after installation, not through `sys.path` mutation; public functions and data boundaries have useful types without blanket `Any`; context managers close files, sessions, transactions, and locks on every path; async functions await async I/O and offload measured blocking work intentionally; task groups define ownership, cancellation, and exception aggregation; mutable defaults, import-time side effects, and hidden globals are absent; validation errors are mapped without weakening domain invariants; tests cover interpreter/framework integration from a clean environment.</step>
  <step index="5">Use only commands proven available by repository/platform evidence; propose this native sequence: `python --version` and `python -m pip check`; `python -m pytest -q` with the repository configuration; `python -m ruff check .` when Ruff is declared; `python -m mypy .` when mypy is declared; `PYTHONASYNCIODEBUG=1 python -m &lt;module&gt;` for asyncio diagnostics.</step>
  <step index="6">Define rollout and rollback exactly: Stop producers before reverting consumers when task schemas changed; deploy the previous wheel/image only after confirming database and serialized payload compatibility.</step>

Version-aware caution

Read requires-python, lock/constraint files, environment metadata, and framework pins. Typing syntax, asyncio behavior, packaging metadata, and standard-library APIs differ by Python minor release; use the deployed interpreter's documentation.

Tradeoffs

Generation waits for pyproject.toml, lock/constraints, interpreter pin, and installed dependency report and type-checker, formatter, linter, and test configuration. That extra Python discovery is justified because the output must prove "package imports work after installation, not through sys.path mutation" and survive environment or import resolution mismatch rather than merely compile.

Anti-patterns

Calling asyncio.create_task without retained ownership loses exceptions, cancellation, and shutdown guarantees.
Do not remove a native warning, validator, policy, or safety limit merely to make generated output pass.
Do not claim a successful result without preserving the command, target, artifact/revision, and observed output.

Enterprise considerations

Python governance requires approved indexes, hash-locked dependencies, native-wheel provenance, supported interpreter lines, and controls for notebook or dynamic-code execution.

Official sources

Checklist

Python version and topology are explicit.
Native configuration and command output are attached.
All 5 named failure classes were considered.
Rollback preserves state and mixed-version compatibility.
Output maps decisions to official sources.
