--sync: avoid updating timestamp of *.py if nothing changes about jupytext HOT 11 CLOSED

(Another minor annoyance of updating the *.py timestamp is that Emacs warns that it is "reverting the buffer" if it has loaded the file -- even though nothing has changed.)

Hi @hhoppe , thank you for reporting this, and sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Sure that makes sense, let me see what I can do.

A development version with a tentative fix is available at

pip install git+https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext.git@skip_update_timestamp

Would you mind confirming if it does what you are looking for?

Thanks for doing this! I'm away this weekend and will try it on Tuesday.

You're welcome ! No hurry at all. Keep me posted, thanks

I'm having difficulty building the development branch -- maybe it's because I am using WSL.
I first had to apt install nodejs, but even then I get a build error

YN0009: │ nx@npm:15.9.7 [9d75b] couldn't be built successfully (exit code 1, logs can be found here: /tmp/xfs-9020d20b/build.log)

where the log contains

Error: Cannot find module 'fs/promises'

I may not be the best person to test this out.

Oh I see - it's not obvious to build the Jupyter Lab extension, sorry about that. Thanks for giving it a try anyway! This should be much easier, and faster too:

HATCH_BUILD_HOOKS_ENABLE=false pip install git+https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext.git@skip_update_timestamp

(the drawback is that you won't get the Jupytext menu in JupyterLab, but maybe you mostly care about the command line?)

The new install command line unfortunately gives the same build error.

No worries! I will test this a bit more on my end, and package the change with the next release, in a few days hopefully.

Hi, I was able to install from the skip_update_timestamp branch on my side (Fedora & python3.11). The feature seems to work as expected, thanks for the work.

Oh great, thank you @max-accenta for testing it, that's super helpful!
