Add a package_name generator setting; Python SDKs import under any name - #5532
Every generated SDK is a package named baml_sdk. In Python that's a top-level package in site-packages, so two libraries that each ship a BAML-generated SDK overwrite each other on install, and uninstalling one deletes the other's code. Alien hit this (they ship alien-sdk and their users also use BAML), and they want their SDK to carry their own name.
What changes
A new optional generator setting, package_name, names the generated SDK in the target language's terms and picks its directory under output_dir. Omitting it leaves every generator's output byte-for-byte unchanged (default baml_sdk).
This PR accepts it for Python, as a dotted import path. Go, Rust and TypeScript follow in the stacked PR; every other target rejects the setting for now.
[generator.python]
output_type = "python/pydantic"output_dir = "src"# the import rootpackage_name = "my_app._generated"# written to src/my_app/_generated
BAML creates missing parent directories but never writes or edits my_app/__init__.py.
Generated Python no longer names its own package
So the same output imports correctly at any path:
_typemap.py and _function_registry.py derive module paths from their own __name__ (_SDK_PACKAGE = __name__.rpartition(".")[0]), built once per module as constants.
Only the root __init__.py resolves the experimental and trace shortcuts; it no longer compares __name__ with "baml_sdk".
Safety
A configurable directory makes the output writer riskier: it overwrites colliding files and replaces the root .gitignore with *. So when package_name is set, baml generate refuses an existing, non-empty directory that lacks the writer's ownership marker (.baml-generator-output-root). This also applies under --output-dir. Leftovers such as __pycache__ and .DS_Store don't count, nor does a .gitignore identical to the one BAML writes (a fresh clone of a project that commits it holds only that file). The error names the entry that blocks it. Every named destination is checked before any generator writes, so a refusal never leaves a partial run. Without package_name, behaviour is unchanged.
When a renamed SDK leaves earlier <output_dir>/baml_sdk output behind, baml generate warns that it's no longer updated. It never deletes it.
Validation
Each segment must be an ASCII identifier, not a Python keyword, and not a reserved Windows file name (con, aux, COM1, ...). The top-level segment can't shadow the runtime or its dependencies (baml_bridge, pydantic, pydantic_core, typing_extensions, google) or a standard-library module (typing, json, asyncio, ...). Nested names such as my_app.pydantic are fine.
Not in scope
One process still holds one BAML program. Two generated SDKs imported into the same process replace each other's program. This PR fixes the install collision, not the runtime one (TASK-121), and the README says so.
baml-bridge is still pinned to an exact version, so two SDKs built with different BAML versions still can't be installed together.
Older CLIs only warn about the unknown package_name key and generate baml_sdk.
Tests
baml_cli: validation (keywords, runtime shadowing, Windows names, nested names allowed), output location, the ownership guard (including under --output-dir and with leftovers only), the stale-output warning, and unchanged output without the setting.
sdk_tests: test_relocated_package_python_only.py loads the generated SDK nested in an application package and as a copy under another name, each in a fresh interpreter, and exercises both type-map directions and the root-only trace/experimental shortcuts.
Keyword docs (baml describe generator) and the Python SDK README document the setting.
Review
Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra (extra high) reviewed both PRs. No directional changes; their findings are applied (the guard under --output-dir, runtime-shadowing names, Windows names, leftovers).
Python SDKs can be generated under a custom package name, including nested import paths. The default remains baml_sdk.
Generated Python SDKs can be imported from their package location without relying on a fixed package name.
--output-dir selects the exact destination for generated files, overriding configured output locations and package-name nesting.
Bug Fixes
Generation now avoids overwriting unrelated files in an occupied destination and warns when a previous default output location will no longer be updated.
Custom package names are validated, and unsupported targets report a diagnostic.
`[generator.<name>] package_name` names the generated SDK in the target
language's terms and picks its directory under `output_dir`. It defaults
to `baml_sdk`, and omitting it leaves every generator's output where it
was. This change accepts it for Python, as a dotted import path:
`package_name = "my_app._generated"` writes the SDK to
`<output_dir>/my_app/_generated`, so a library can ship its generated SDK
inside its own package instead of a top-level `baml_sdk` that another
library's SDK overwrites. BAML never creates or edits the parent
packages. Every other target rejects the setting for now.
The generated Python no longer names its own package anywhere, so the
same output works at any import path, including a copy under another
name:
- `_typemap.py` and `_function_registry.py` derive module paths from
their own `__name__`, built once per module as constants.
- Only the root `__init__.py` resolves the `experimental` and `trace`
shortcuts; it no longer compares `__name__` with "baml_sdk".
A configurable directory makes the output writer's semantics riskier
(it overwrites colliding files and git-ignores its whole directory), so
an explicit `package_name` refuses an existing, non-empty directory
without the writer's ownership marker. When a renamed SDK leaves earlier
`<output_dir>/baml_sdk` output behind, `baml generate` warns that it is
no longer updated. `--output-dir` still names the final directory as
given.

…e runtime
- The guard against writing into a directory `baml generate` did not create
now runs whenever `package_name` is set, including under `--output-dir`.
Leftovers such as `__pycache__` and `.DS_Store` no longer block it, and the
error names the entry that does.
- Python rejects a top-level package that would shadow the runtime or its
dependencies (`pydantic`, `pydantic_core`, `typing_extensions`, protobuf's
`google`), and any segment that is a reserved Windows file name.
- Docs: BAML creates missing parent directories but never writes their
`__init__.py`.

BoundaryML/baml#5422 — Adds the wrapper configuration model and GeneratorShape validation that this change extends with package_name.
Suggested reviewers:2kai2kai2, hellovai, aaronvg
Merge Risk: Low · up to 2a242
The change is mergeable with a bounded follow-up: reject private Python module names that can break SDK imports, and correct the uncommon misleading output warning.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 2a242
Named SDKs gain useful isolation from the fixed package name, with directory checks and transactional replacement limiting accidental overwrites. A remaining namespace collision can disrupt imports elsewhere in the same Python process. No new privilege-escalation path was established, but simultaneous use of multiple generated SDKs was not fully verified.
Retained concerns
Low · reliability · inferred: The namespace guard accepts private standard-library names such as _socket. If the generated package precedes the platform extension on sys.path and the real module is neither built-in nor already loaded, imports can resolve to the SDK instead. This can disrupt socket and asyncio consumers across the host interpreter, extending failure beyond the SDK. Nested names avoid this top-level collision. The consequence is inferred import failure, not demonstrated code execution or weakened TLS validation.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The reviewed change acts with the generating process's existing filesystem permissions. Its directly affected assets are selected output trees and Python import resolution in consuming applications. The pre-existing arbitrary output override means configurable placement is not, by itself, newly granted filesystem authority.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The supported adverse path is a configured top-level namespace collision causing import failure. The inspected name-to-path and import-emission flow does not establish arbitrary code execution, credential access, or a cross-tenant boundary bypass.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Named-output preflight is an accidental-clobber control, not generator-specific authorization. It runs before the writer lock, and the writer's existing ownership inventory is directory-wide. Exact-target locking and transaction validation protect installation consistency but do not establish isolation between distinct generators selecting the same directory.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The inherited writer rejects symlink destination roots, validates staged manifests and file contents, and requires ownership proof before recovering or removing transaction trees. These controls constrain cleanup and recovery without proving safety against arbitrary concurrent filesystem mutation.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Extend top-level collision protection to private standard-library modules across supported Python versions, while retaining legitimate nested private package names.

Reserve typing as a top-level package name.

Reject overlapping SDK destinations when either generator sets package_name.
Preflight checks each named destination alone. It does not compare destinations with each other. When the nested directory is missing, a named SDK at baml_sdk.child and another generator at baml_sdk both pass. The writes then run in list order. Each install replaces the whole target directory. The later writer's child/__init__.py replaces the earlier one. The earlier SDK's child namespace exports can then be lost, and imports through that path can fail or resolve to the wrong module. Two named generators with equal or nested destinations have the same problem.
Compare every pair of destinations before any generator writes. Apply the check when at least one generator in the pair sets package_name. Skip the check when --output-dir is set, because that option deliberately places all SDKs in one directory. Compare normalized paths, so that .. components and symlinks cannot bypass the check.

Not changing this here. Overlapping destinations need two generators configured to write into each other (for example package_name = "baml_sdk.child" next to a default generator under the same output_dir). Two generators sharing an output_dir without package_name already collide the same way today, so this isn't new with package_name. A run-wide overlap check fits better as a follow-up that covers both cases.

Compare resolved destination paths before recommending deletion.
For a project at /repo/project, generators with output_dir = "../project" and output_dir = "." can refer to the same baml_sdk directory. This lexical comparison does not recognize those paths as equal. Once the directory exists, the warning can therefore tell the user to delete an SDK that another generator still updates. (doc.rust-lang.org)

Fixed in the latest commit: the check now also compares canonicalized paths (falling back to the path as written when it doesn't exist yet), with a test for an aliased spelling.
@rossirpaulo The canonicalized comparison fixes aliases for existing destinations. The added test covers that case.
One case remains: an aliased destination with a missing child, such as root/alien_sdk/../baml_sdk/new_package. If new_package does not exist, canonicalization fails. The fallback then misses that the destination is inside the active baml_sdk directory, so the deletion warning can still appear.
Please resolve the nearest existing ancestor and append the missing path components before comparing. Add a regression test for this case. I inspected the code and test but did not run repository tests.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Leaving this one. It needs a destination that is both spelled through an alias and nested inside the active baml_sdk directory, and doesn't exist yet. The only effect is an extra warning on that first run (nothing is deleted). It goes away on the next run, once the directory exists.

json, asyncio, ...) shadows it once output_dir is on sys.path, so the SDK
and the runtime fail to import. The superseded-output warning now also
compares resolved paths, so an aliased spelling of a destination another
generator still writes is not reported as superseded.

Reject private standard-library module names such as _socket.
validate_python accepts package_name = "_socket". PYTHON_STDLIB_MODULES excludes private names, so the top-level check does not reject it.
With output_dir first on sys.path, the generated _socket package can shadow CPython's _socket extension. On builds that load _socket through the path finder, importing the SDK runs its __init__. That imports baml_bridge, which imports asyncio, which imports socket. socket then imports _socket and receives the partially initialized SDK package, so the SDK import can fail.
Add the private names from sys.stdlib_module_names to the rejected list. _socket is one example. Update the doc comment to match:

Leaving this out on purpose. Private standard-library names (_socket, _ssl, ...) are CPython implementation modules, and nobody picks one as an SDK name. The public list covers the names people actually pick. Including the private ones would tie the list to one interpreter's internals.

@rossirpaulo Understood. Private names will remain allowed as an intentional trade-off, despite the possible import collision if one is selected. I won’t pursue the change.
Follows BoundaryML#5532, which is merged. This diff is only the Go, Rust and
TypeScript part.
## Why
BoundaryML#5532 adds `package_name` for Python, where the shared `baml_sdk` name
breaks installs. In the other languages the default name doesn't collide
on install, but a library still can't name its SDK: Alien wants
`alien_api` (Rust crate), `alienapi` (Go package), and a directory of
its choice in TypeScript, not `baml_sdk` everywhere.
## What changes
`package_name` now applies to every target whose generator can rename
its output. Swift, Java, C++ and C# still reject it ("`package_name` is
not supported for output_type `<x>` yet"). **Omitting it leaves the
output byte-for-byte unchanged.**
| Target | What `package_name` sets | Accepted names |
|---|---|---|
| Go | root package clause and SDK directory | `[a-z][a-z0-9_]*`, not a
Go keyword, not a name the generated code imports under, not
`internal`/`vendor`/`testdata` |
| Rust | directory, Cargo `[package] name` and `[lib] name` (new
`RustGenOptions.lib_name`) | `[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*`, not a keyword
(including edition 2024's `gen`), not a sysroot crate, not
`baml_bridge`/`baml_rs`/`serde` |
| TypeScript | SDK directory | one directory name of ASCII letters,
digits, `_` and `-` |
- **Go:** when `package_name` is set, `sdk_import_path` must end in
`/<package_name>`. The error spells out the fix (`must end in
/alien_api, e.g. example.com/test/alien_api`). The configured name is
reserved, so a BAML package that collides with it is renamed.
- The ownership guard and stale-output warning from BoundaryML#5532 apply to these
targets too.
## Tests
- Unit tests for each language's name rules in `sdkgen_go`,
`sdkgen_rust` and `baml_cli`, plus output location and the Go
import-path check.
- `sdk_tests`: the harness generates a renamed Go SDK (`docs_sdk`, with
`package_name_test.go`) and builds one Rust fixture under a non-default
lib name (`docstrings_sdk`), so both paths are compiled and run. The
other fixtures keep `baml_sdk`.
## Review
Reviewed together with BoundaryML#5532 by Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra (extra high).
Findings applied: special Go directories, `gen`, and the corrected path
in the Go error. Reserved Windows file names (`con`, `nul`, `com1`, …)
are now rejected on `package_name` for these targets, as they already
were for Python.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Added configurable package names for generated Go, Rust, and
TypeScript SDKs. Rust names set both the Cargo package and library name;
Go names set the root package and must match the final segment of the
SDK import path.
* Generated SDKs retain their existing default names when no custom name
is set. Custom names must follow each language’s naming rules.
* **Documentation**
* Clarified package naming behavior and added a Rust configuration
example. Swift, Java, C++, and C# do not yet support custom package
names.

Bumps the BAML language version from 0.24.0 to 0.25.0 with
`scripts/baml-language-version bump --minor`. Only version strings
change: 20 files, and `baml-language-version check` passes.
The 0.24.0 canary release ([run
42111122075](https://github.com/BoundaryML/baml/actions/runs/42111122075))
failed at "Publish Homebrew wrapper formula" with "Refusing to load
formula boundaryml/tap/baml from untrusted tap". BoundaryML#5546 fixed that.
Because of the failure:
- PyPI, npm and crates.io have 0.24.0.
- The Go SDK mirror, the `pkg.boundaryml.com` manifests and the
developer docs were not published.
- The canary channel was not promoted.
Rather than re-run 0.24.0, this releases 0.25.0 from current canary.
That includes BoundaryML#5546 and the `package_name` setting (BoundaryML#5532, BoundaryML#5533).
For the release oncall: the 0.3.0 wrapper got its GitHub release before
the Homebrew step failed. RELEASING.md says a language release
republishes the wrapper only when its version differs from the published
one, so check that this release still publishes the Homebrew formula.

Why
Every generated SDK is a package named
baml_sdk. In Python that's a top-level package in site-packages, so two libraries that each ship a BAML-generated SDK overwrite each other on install, and uninstalling one deletes the other's code. Alien hit this (they shipalien-sdkand their users also use BAML), and they want their SDK to carry their own name.What changes
A new optional generator setting,
package_name, names the generated SDK in the target language's terms and picks its directory underoutput_dir. Omitting it leaves every generator's output byte-for-byte unchanged (defaultbaml_sdk).This PR accepts it for Python, as a dotted import path. Go, Rust and TypeScript follow in the stacked PR; every other target rejects the setting for now.
BAML creates missing parent directories but never writes or edits
my_app/__init__.py.Generated Python no longer names its own package
So the same output imports correctly at any path:
_typemap.pyand_function_registry.pyderive module paths from their own__name__(_SDK_PACKAGE = __name__.rpartition(".")[0]), built once per module as constants.__init__.pyresolves theexperimentalandtraceshortcuts; it no longer compares__name__with"baml_sdk".Safety
A configurable directory makes the output writer riskier: it overwrites colliding files and replaces the root
.gitignorewith*. So whenpackage_nameis set,baml generaterefuses an existing, non-empty directory that lacks the writer's ownership marker (.baml-generator-output-root). This also applies under--output-dir. Leftovers such as__pycache__and.DS_Storedon't count, nor does a.gitignoreidentical to the one BAML writes (a fresh clone of a project that commits it holds only that file). The error names the entry that blocks it. Every named destination is checked before any generator writes, so a refusal never leaves a partial run. Withoutpackage_name, behaviour is unchanged.When a renamed SDK leaves earlier
<output_dir>/baml_sdkoutput behind,baml generatewarns that it's no longer updated. It never deletes it.Validation
Each segment must be an ASCII identifier, not a Python keyword, and not a reserved Windows file name (
con,aux,COM1, ...). The top-level segment can't shadow the runtime or its dependencies (baml_bridge,pydantic,pydantic_core,typing_extensions,google) or a standard-library module (typing,json,asyncio, ...). Nested names such asmy_app.pydanticare fine.Not in scope
baml-bridgeis still pinned to an exact version, so two SDKs built with different BAML versions still can't be installed together.package_namekey and generatebaml_sdk.Tests
baml_cli: validation (keywords, runtime shadowing, Windows names, nested names allowed), output location, the ownership guard (including under--output-dirand with leftovers only), the stale-output warning, and unchanged output without the setting.sdk_tests:test_relocated_package_python_only.pyloads the generated SDK nested in an application package and as a copy under another name, each in a fresh interpreter, and exercises both type-map directions and the root-onlytrace/experimentalshortcuts.baml describe generator) and the Python SDK README document the setting.Review
Fable 5.1 and GPT-6 Astra (extra high) reviewed both PRs. No directional changes; their findings are applied (the guard under
--output-dir, runtime-shadowing names, Windows names, leftovers).Stacked PR: #5533 (Go, Rust and TypeScript). Adopted in BoundaryML/alien-baml-sdk#6.
