This pull request introduces separate packages for the Pub/Sub SDK to distinguish between server and device functionality:

  • ably-pubsub-server: Provides ably.pubsub.server with create_http_client(), create_realtime_client(), and a sync submodule.
  • ably-pubsub-device: Provides ably.pubsub.device with create_client().

Both packages re-export the core's public surface, maintaining identical behavior. Deprecation warnings are added for AblyRest and AblyRealtime, pointing to their replacements. Backward compatibility is preserved, with no scheduled removals.

Other changes:

  • Namespace packaging implemented via PEP 420 for PyPI uploads.
  • Shared core's source retained in the ably/ directory.
  • Complete lockstep publishing of the three distributions.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added dedicated device and server Pub/Sub packages with async, sync, HTTP, and realtime client factories.
    • Added streamlined migration paths from legacy client constructors.
    • Added installation, usage, and migration documentation for the new packages.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Direct use of legacy client constructors now provides clear deprecation warnings, while factory-based usage remains warning-free.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded release, packaging, and contribution guidance.
  • Chores

    • Improved build and release workflows for publishing the core and wrapper distributions together.

@ttypic, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 33 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The change adds separate server and device Pub/Sub distributions, factory APIs, constructor deprecation warnings, packaging tests, and CI/release support for building and publishing all three distributions together.

Changes

Pub/Sub packaging and factory migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Distribution packaging contracts
packages/ably-pubsub-device/pyproject.toml, packages/ably-pubsub-server/pyproject.toml, pyproject.toml
Defines metadata, exact core-version pins, namespace packaging, and distribution-specific wheel and source contents.
Factory APIs and constructor deprecations
ably/pubsub/*, ably/realtime/realtime.py, ably/rest/rest.py, ably/util/deprecation.py, ably/scripts/unasync.py
Adds server, device, and sync factories. Legacy constructors emit migration warnings. Factory calls suppress those warnings.
Factory, export, and packaging validation
test/ably/rest/restdeprecation_test.py, test/unit/pubsub_*_test.py
Tests factory behavior, authentication and option forwarding, warning handling, public exports, versions, pins, and package contents.
Build, release, and migration workflow
.github/workflows/*.yml, README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, packages/ably-pubsub-*/README.md
Builds and publishes all distributions together. Documents installation, migration, packaging rules, and release steps.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 822e4

The new package split can currently publish incomplete wheels, omit part of the documented public API, and encourage insecure API-key use in device applications. These are concrete release and security risks that should be addressed before merging.

Poem

A rabbit packs wheels in a neat little row,
Server and device have factories to show.
Old constructors whisper, “Please migrate soon,”
While tests guard the namespace under the moon.
Three distributions hop through the release gate.

Re-export the complete promised core surface.

ably.lib_version is a public core member used by test/unit/pubsub_packaging_test.py on Line 45. This wrapper does not import or export it. Therefore, ably.pubsub.server.lib_version is unavailable despite the stated re-export contract.

Add lib_version to the wrapper exports. Apply the same change to the equivalent device and sync wrapper surfaces. Update the re-export test so it validates non-type public exports.

Hatchling build target wheel only-include external paths force-include direct wheel build behavior

💡 Result:

In Hatchling, you can manage how files are included in your wheel distribution using several configuration options within the [tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel] table of your pyproject.toml or hatch.toml [1][2]. Only-Include The only-include option allows you to explicitly select specific paths to include in the build, preventing standard directory traversal from the project root [1][3]. When used, it ignores any other include patterns [1][3]. This is useful for strictly controlling what is packaged in the wheel [1]. Force-Include The force-include option is used to include files or directories from anywhere on your file system, including paths outside the project root [2][4]. You map these external sources to a specific relative path within the distribution [2]. Example usage: [tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel.force-include] "../external-folder" = "my_package/internal-path" "~/path/to/file.txt" = "my_package/file.txt" Key behaviors of force-include: - Files must be mapped exactly to their desired relative destination paths [2]. - Directory contents are included recursively [2]. - You can map directory contents directly to the root of the wheel by using "/" as the destination [2]. - Sources that do not exist will trigger an error [2]. - Force-included files will overwrite any files that were already selected by other options (like include or packages) [2]. Wheel Build Behavior and External Tools It is important to note that Hatchling's behavior can differ depending on how the build is invoked [5][6]. Tools like Hatch itself often build wheels directly from the source repository [5][6]. However, many standard frontend tools (such as build or uv build) first create a source distribution (sdist) and then build the wheel from that unpacked sdist [5][6]. If you rely on files outside the project root or files not included in the sdist, they may be missing from wheels built via these standard frontends [5][6]. To ensure consistency across different build frontends, it is generally recommended to define target-specific configurations and ensure that the sdist configuration covers all necessary files [5][6].

Add force-include to both wheel targets.

For direct PEP 517 wheel builds, only-include resolves from each wrapper project root. The selected source paths do not exist there, so the wheel can omit the client module.

  • Add ../../ably/pubsub/server = ably/pubsub/server to the server wheel target.
  • Add ../../ably/pubsub/device = ably/pubsub/device to the device wheel target.

The existing sdist mappings do not fix direct wheel builds.

Use token authentication in both device examples.

Do not pass an API key to create_client() in either README. Use a server-issued short-lived token or auth_url/auth_callback for token refresh. Bind the token to client_id='me' when issuing it. Update README.md:71 and packages/ably-pubsub-device/README.md:18.

PDR-091 splits the Pub/Sub SDKs so that the package an application
installs names the side it runs on. Ship that for Python as two thin
additive distributions over the existing package, which takes on the
role of the shared core and is otherwise unchanged:

- ably-pubsub-server provides ably.pubsub.server, with
  create_http_client(), create_realtime_client(), and a sync submodule
- ably-pubsub-device provides ably.pubsub.device, with create_client()

Both re-export the core's public surface and return its clients
unchanged, so behaviour is identical by construction. AblyRest and
AblyRealtime emit a DeprecationWarning naming their replacement; they
keep working and are not scheduled for removal.

ably.pubsub is a PEP 420 namespace directory so that two distributions
can each contribute a subpackage to it. The source stays in the shared
ably/ tree because ably is a regular package, so Python resolves
ably.pubsub only under the directory ably was imported from; each sdist
reaches up to collect its subtree, and must therefore be built before
its wheel.

All three distributions publish in a single upload, since the wrappers
pin the core exactly and a partial release is unusable. That requires
all three PyPI projects to register the same trusted publisher.

The side-declaring agent value PDR-091 also calls for is not included
here: the packages name the side, but nothing distinguishes them on the
wire yet.

Tests cover factory pass-through and warning suppression, the
deprecation in both async and generated sync flavours, re-export parity
with the core, and the packaging invariants (namespace directory,
version lockstep, exact core pin).
