@mattrobenolt another ping up this release request. 🙏

sigh part of the way this project works is it's possible for you to link to whatever files you want as a source of rules. A bump here isn't a requirement. You can set the UA_PARSER_YAML environment variable and point it to whatever file you want.

https://github.com/ua-parser/uap-python/blob/master/ua_parser/user_agent_parser.py#L449-L450

There is a reason why this isn't 100% in sync all the time and I don't bump versions on every single commit upstream.

Ah, that's super helpful. Would be a good addition to the README to help reduce nagging from folks like me.

I'm fine with going that route for now. It does leave the "fix" that I contributed in a halfway complete state but it will get resolved the next time you sync with aup-core.

The regexes from uap-core have not been updated in this project in over a year. If the authors seriously don't consider updated regexes to be a core mandate of this project then please change the project so that it does not ship with a built-in regex file, but forces the client to provide one, and change the docs to reflect this.

I also think the choice of an environment variable is a bit obscure. Providing a setup method on the module would make it more obvious and more flexible to configure.

So here's the current dilemma updating to latest master ua-parser/uap-core@8783129

So will need to investigate why this test now fails. :(

I found a relatively painless way to integrate the latest yaml into my build. I just downloaded the rules and committed it in a static directory that gets deployed with my project, and referenced it using a relative path like this before importing ua_parser:

os.environ['UA_PARSER_YAML'] = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__)), 'static', 'user_agents.yaml')

Works well enough.

Hello, please update to latest (June 2017 or newer). Thanks.

@mattrobenolt please, what is the status with this? We are currently unable to use uap-python from pip due to old regex definitions...

The fix is ready to be merged in #59 .

Fixed by 0.8.0 https://pypi.org/project/ua-parser/0.8.0/
