[mod] addition of various type hints / tbc

2025-09-03T11:37:36Z

- pyright configuration [1]_ - stub files: types-lxml [2]_ - addition of various type hints - enable use of new type system features on older Python versions [3]_ - ``.tool-versions`` - set python to lowest version we support (3.10.18) [4]_: Older versions typically lack some typing features found in newer Python versions. Therefore, for local type checking (before commit), it is necessary to use the older Python interpreter. .. [1] https://docs.basedpyright.com/v1.20.0/configuration/config-files/ ..

[mod] revision of the settings_loader

2024-07-14T16:10:06Z

The intention of this PR is to modernize the settings_loader implementations. The concept is old (remember, this is partly from 2014), back then we only had one config file, meanwhile we have had a folder with config files for a very long time. Callers can now load a YAML configuration from this folder as follows :: settings_loader.get_yaml_cfg('my-config.yml') - BTW this is a fix of #3557. - Further the `existing_filename_or_none` construct dates back to times when there was not yet a `pathlib.Path` in all Python versions we supported in the past. - Typehints have been added wherever appropriate At the same time, this patch should also be downward compatible and not introduce a new environment variable. The localization of the folder with the configurations is further based on: SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH (wich defaults to /etc/searxng/settings.yml) Which means, the default config folder is `/etc/searxng/`. ATTENTION: intended functional changes! If SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH was set and pointed to a not existing file, the previous implementation silently loaded the default configuration. This behavior has been changed: if the file or folder does not exist, an EnvironmentError exception will be thrown in future.

[mod] pylint all files with one profile / drop PYLINT_SEARXNG_DISABLE_OPTION

2024-03-11T13:55:38Z

In the past, some files were tested with the standard profile, others with a profile in which most of the messages were switched off ... some files were not checked at all. - ``PYLINT_SEARXNG_DISABLE_OPTION`` has been abolished - the distinction ``# lint: pylint`` is no longer necessary - the pylint tasks have been reduced from three to two 1. ./searx/engines -> lint engines with additional builtins 2. ./searx ./searxng_extra ./tests -> lint all other python files Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser

[fix] categories can't be removed from UI (categories_as_tabs)

2023-04-03T17:08:27Z

When using ``use_default_settings: true``, removing default categories from settings.yml will not remove them from the UI. The value ``categories_as_tabs`` is a dictionary type (a4c2cfb) and dictionary types are merged additive by ``settings_loader.update_settings()``. This patch replaces the default ``categories_as_tabs`` by the one from the ``user_settings``.
