Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Adds a startup check for LZMA support. If the environment lacks LZMA, the app now exits immediately with a clear error message, preventing confusing runtime failures and guiding users to resolve the issue.
    • Improves reliability by failing fast on unsupported systems, ensuring consistent behavior across installations.

Walkthrough

Introduces an import-time check in platform.py to detect Python’s lzma module. If unavailable, the module prints error messages and terminates the process with exit code 1 before proceeding with other imports. No other logic or public APIs are changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Startup dependency check
platform.py
Added early import-time verification for lzma availability; on failure, prints error details and exits(1). No changes to exported signatures or subsequent logic paths when lzma is present.

Poem

I thump my paws—dependencies tight!
A sniff for LZMA before we take flight.
If missing, we bow, exit stage left—
No burrow collapse from a silent heft.
With checks in place, we hop along—
Robust little runt, singing a safe-start song. 🐇✨

15-23: Fail-fast check is good; send errors to stderr, avoid F401, and use SystemExit.

Printing to stdout at import time is noisy for tooling, and Ruff flags lzma as unused. Importing and deleting the symbol both proves availability and satisfies linters. Also prefer raising SystemExit and slightly tighten messaging.

Apply this diff:

 # LZMA support check
-try:
-    import lzma
-except ImportError:
-    print("ERROR: LZMA module is not available in this Python installation.")
-    print("LZMA support is required for tool / toolchain installation.")
-    print("Please install Python with LZMA support.")
-    import sys
-    sys.exit(1)
+try:
+    import lzma as _lzma
+except ImportError:
+    import sys
+    print("ERROR: Python's lzma module is unavailable or broken in this interpreter.", file=sys.stderr)
+    print("LZMA (liblzma) support is required for tool/toolchain installation.", file=sys.stderr)
+    print("Please install Python built with LZMA support.", file=sys.stderr)
+    raise SystemExit(1)
+else:
+    # Keep namespace clean and satisfy linters
+    del _lzma

15-23: Consider avoiding import-time hard exit if PlatformIO needs to import this module in contexts that don't install tools.

Exiting during import can break benign commands (e.g., board listing, introspection) on systems lacking LZMA. If acceptable, keep as-is. Otherwise, gate the check behind the first path that actually needs LZMA (e.g., before installing/extracting tools) or raise a dedicated exception to be surfaced by the caller.

Would you like me to refactor this into a callable guard (e.g., ensure_lzma_available()), invoked right before any operation that downloads/extracts packages?


15-23: Deduplicate sys imports.

You import sys inside the except and again at Line 31. Safe but redundant. Either:

  • Keep the inner except import and remove the global import sys on Line 31, or
  • Import sys once above the check and reuse it.
