Implement CPython 3.14 subinterpreter APIs - #8605
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds PEP 734 isolated-interpreter support, cross-interpreter channels and queues, shared-value conversion, argument parsing, operation guards, and updated VM error handling. It also normalizes script paths and ChangesIsolated interpreter runtime
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR adds isolated interpreters, cross-interpreter channels and queues, and shared-data transfer, but the current implementation can corrupt channel lifecycle state, transfer sliced or cast memoryviews incorrectly, misvalidate interpreter scripts, and finalize interpreters belonging to another owner; concurrent queue writes during shutdown and an unenforced allocator-isolation setting add further bounded runtime risk. The PR should not merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted by the appropriate owners. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Argument matching: - Add `function::ArgSpec`, a `PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords` equivalent that applies the `|`, `$` and `:` markers of a format string to a `kwlist`, and route every module function of both modules through it. This enforces keyword-only parameters, rejects unexpected keywords, accepts keyword forms that were previously positional-only (`whence(id=)`, `get_config(id=)`, `set___main___attrs(id=, updates=)`, `capture_exception(exc=)`, `_register_end_types(send=, recv=)`), and reproduces the arity messages. - `O!` slots (`shared`, `updates`, `call`'s `args`/`kwargs`) now reject None, and `_PyArg_BadArgument` renders None as "None" rather than "NoneType". - `new_config` takes at most one positional `str`; `list_all` of `_interpchannels` is argument-less. - Convert arguments in `kwlist` order, so an argument's own error is raised ahead of the checks that follow it. _interpreters: - Add the `CrossInterpreterBufferView` type and build the received memoryview on it, keeping the sending interpreter's exporter out of the destination. - Build `excinfo.errdisplay` from `traceback.TracebackException`. Feature flags: - `os.fork` checks finalization before `allow_fork`, matching `os_fork_impl`. - `_thread.start_new_thread` and `start_joinable_thread` reject an interpreter without `allow_threads`.

…t CPython 3.14 verify_stateless_function follows _PyFunction_VerifyStateless: it rejects non-dict builtins, a non-empty __defaults__, __kwdefaults__ or __closure__, and code whose LOAD_GLOBAL names are held by the function's globals or absent from its builtins. code_returns_only_none follows _PyCode_ReturnsOnlyNone: generator, coroutine and async-generator code is rejected up front, the instruction walk skips inline caches and maps specialized and instrumented opcodes back, and the LOAD_CONST preceding each RETURN_VALUE is compared against the index of None in co_consts. ExcInfo::capture keeps an empty exception message instead of dropping it, and builds `formatted` as `module.qualname: msg`, leaving out the builtins and __main__ modules. _interpreters.call packs the callable through _PyFunction_GetXIData before pickle and re-raises the stateless-check failure when both fail. A func, args or kwargs that cannot be rebuilt in the target, and a result without cross-interpreter data, now raise NotShareableError with the snapshot as the cause rather than being returned as excinfo. _interpreters.capture_exception() without an argument returns None. pickle_loads and _PyFunction_GetXIData attach the underlying failure as __cause__. channel_send converts the object to cross-interpreter data after the channel's `closing` check. ChannelID rich comparison returns the result of comparing its id with the other number instead of coercing that result to bool. PyMemoryView_FromObjectAndFlags raises "memoryview: a bytes-like object is required, not 'X'" for an object that is not a buffer. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
Bound shareable ints by isize, raising OverflowError("try sending as
bytes") outside that range and keeping it as the NotShareableError cause.
Report an unshareable object by its repr, and attach a failing conversion
as __cause__ of the NotShareableError raised for the object it was called
for, so each level of a nested tuple appears in the chain.
Guard each tuple item conversion with with_recursion("while sharing a
tuple").
Gate the memoryview getdata function on `_interpreters` having been
imported, and route channel_send_buffer through a memoryview so it uses
that function and the resolved fallback.
Create the cross-interpreter exception types from the module_exec of
either module that raises them, instead of only `_interpreters`.
parse_cid raises OverflowError("int too big to convert"); int_arg
reproduces the `i` converter's three overflow messages and is also used
while parsing channel_send arguments.
Add BASETYPE to _queue.Empty, and gate nt.execv/nt.execve on allow_exec.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
_PyInterpreterState_ObjectToID accepts any object with __index__, raises
OverflowError("int too big to convert") outside the int64 range, and
reports a negative ID with the repr of the original object.
channelsmod_send reads the channel's default unboundop and fallback only
when one of the two arguments is negative, so an explicit pair is
validated before the channel is looked up.

_interpqueues holds a process-wide queue table and exposes create, destroy, list_all, put, get, bind, release, get_maxsize, get_queue_defaults, is_full, get_count and _register_heap_types, raising QueueError and QueueNotFoundError. QueueEmpty and QueueFull, which subclass queue.Empty and queue.Full, are registered per interpreter by concurrent.interpreters._queues. Cross-interpreter data carries a queue as a refcounted queue ID that binds when the data is captured and releases when it is dropped, and is_shareable reports a registered Queue as shareable. Queue and channel items owned by an interpreter are now cleared from Interpreter::finalize, after module finalization, rather than from destroy_owned_interpreter, so values sent by an atexit callback also become unbound. is_shareable gates memoryview on the same registration flag as the getdata lookup.

Interpreter::finalize now runs finalize_subinterpreters between the atexit handlers and the finalizing flag: when the main interpreter still owns subinterpreters it emits the RuntimeWarning "remaining subinterpreters; close them with Interpreter.close()" and then finalizes each of them. runtime::owned_interpreter_ids lists the runtime-owned interpreters. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
_Py_abspath and _PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0 arrive as abs_path and script_sys_path0. run_file hands the absolutized path to get_importer and to the runner, so __file__ and co_filename no longer stay relative, and inserts the symlink-resolved script directory as sys.path[0] instead of the argument's parent. test_cmd_line_script.test_script_abspath no longer expects a failure. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
The object, number, sequence and mapping protocols, the unsupported-operand helpers, and the type-specific messages fed from them now read PyType::slot_name() where they read PyType::name(), so a type declared with a module keeps it. Message texts corrected along the way: - PySequence_Size, PyMapping_Size, PySequence_GetItem and PySequence_SetItem/DelItem split their merged wording in two, and PyObject_SetItem/DelItem say "object". - PyObject_GenericSetAttr reports a read-only attribute and the missing __dict__. - check_class drops the type name it appended. - __int__ and __index__ drop the class prefix; __float__ keeps it. - float(), complex(), round(), next(), str subscripting and list subscripting take their own wording. - str.join and bytes.join number the item they turn down and name what they wanted, and report a non-iterable as "can only join an iterable". test_class.testObjectAttributeAccessErrorMessages, string_tests.test_subscript and the test_descrtut doctest no longer expect a failure. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
crossinterp::script_code called vm.compile unconditionally, which only exists with the rustpython-compiler feature. Builds without it, such as example_projects/barebone, now raise a TypeError instead of failing to compile. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
The test imports _testsinglephase in its body without a decorator guarding it, and now that _interpreters exists requires_subinterpreters no longer skips it. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5

Preserve the logical view descriptor during cross-interpreter transfer.
clone_buffer() clones only self.buffer.desc, but init_slice() and cast_to_1d() update self.desc. The destination then uses the transferred descriptor, so sliced or cast memoryviews may have the exporter’s offset, length, shape, strides, or format. Copy self.desc into the cloned buffer and add sliced and cast transfer tests.

CPython _interpchannels channel_release already released end ChannelClosedError behavior
💡 Result:
In the context of the CPython internal _interpchannels module (often accessed via _interpchannels or previously _xxsubinterpreters), ChannelClosedError is raised when an operation is performed on a channel end that has already been closed or released [1][2]. Specifically, the _interpchannels module manages communication channels between subinterpreters [3][4]. The channel_release function is used to dissociate the current interpreter from a specific end (send or receive) of a channel [5]. If a channel end is already closed or if the interpreter has already released its association with that end, subsequent attempts to use that end—such as sending data to a closed send end or receiving from a closed receive end—will trigger a ChannelClosedError [6][1]. Key points regarding this behavior: 1. Mechanism: When an interpreter releases a channel end, that end is marked as closed for that specific interpreter [5]. If no other interpreters are associated with the channel, the channel itself may be considered closed [5]. 2. Error Triggering: If an interpreter attempts to use an end (e.g., send or recv) after it has been fully closed or released, the CPython implementation raises ChannelClosedError [6][7][1][2]. 3. Implementation: This behavior is consistent with the internal CPython management of channel states, where _interpchannels acts as a low-level primitive for cross-interpreter communication [8][3]. The ChannelClosedError exception is explicitly defined to handle scenarios where an operation attempts to interact with an invalid or closed channel state [2]. For developers, this means that tracking the lifecycle of channel associations is required; attempting to perform I/O on a channel after calling _interpchannels.release() for that specific end will result in this exception [6][1].

🌐 Web query:
site:github.com/python/cpython "_interpchannels" "channel_release" "ChannelClosedError"
💡 Result:
The ChannelClosedError is an exception defined within Python's low-level _interpchannels C module, which supports the experimental multi-interpreter functionality [1]. This exception is raised when an operation is attempted on a channel that has already been closed [1]. Specific scenarios that trigger a ChannelClosedError include: - Attempting to perform an operation on a channel ID that is already closed [1]. - Attempting to use a channel while it is in the process of closing [1]. - When an interpreter is closed, channels associated with it may be closed, leading to this error if further operations are attempted [1][2]. The error is part of the internal _interpchannels implementation (often surfaced in testing as _xxinterpchannels in older versions) [1][2]. While higher-level interfaces exist in the concurrent.interpreters module (e.g., in Lib/test/support/channels.py), they typically rely on or wrap this lower-level behavior [3][4][5]. Developers are generally advised to use the higher-level concurrent.interpreters API rather than the _interpchannels module directly, as the latter is a low-level implementation detail of the Python runtime [5][6]. If you are encountering this error, it often indicates a race condition or incorrect state management where code attempts to send or receive data on a channel after it has been finalized [2]. You can check the state of a channel using properties like is_closed if available in your version of the runtime [7].

Prevent released ends from decrementing the open-end counters. release_interpreter and clear_interpreter can pass an entry whose open flag is already false to release_end. The unconditional decrement can close the channel while another interpreter still has an open end. It can also leave a negative counter, so the channel remains open after all ends are released and queued items are not cleared. Guard the state change and decrement in release_end. Preserve channel_release as a no-op for an already-released end while the channel itself remains open; return ChanErr::Closed only when the channel is closed.

Read the full argument when checking LoadConst
units.read_arg(prev) returns only an OpArgByte, so this comparison uses only the low byte. walk_instructions already reconstructs the full argument with OpArgState, but this branch discards it.
If none_index > 255, a LoadConst for None is not recognized. verify_script can then raise ValueError("code that returns a value is not a script"). If an extended LoadConst has a low byte equal to a smaller none_index, a non-None constant can be accepted as None. Carry the previous (Instruction, OpArg) from walk_instructions, or reconstruct the predecessor argument with OpArgState.

Scope owned-interpreter cleanup to its creating interpreter.
owned_interpreter_ids() returns process-global IDs. Every top-level Interpreter has is_main == true. If two top-level interpreters exist, finalizing either one destroys runtime-owned subinterpreters created by the other one.
Store the parent interpreter ID with each owned entry. Select and destroy only entries owned by the finalizing interpreter.

* Add _interpreters and _interpchannels modules
Apply the patch baseline for the low-level subinterpreter modules:
- crates/vm/src/stdlib/_interpreters.rs: create/destroy/list_all/get_main/
get_current/is_running/exec/call/run_string/run_func/set___main___attrs/

list_all/list_interpreters/release/close and the Channel*Error exceptions
- crates/vm/src/vm/crossinterp.rs: cross-interpreter data protocol
- crates/vm/src/vm/{interpreter,mod,runtime,vm_new}.rs: interpreter registry
and lifecycle plumbing the modules need
- Lib/concurrent/interpreters/: high-level PEP 734 package
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Correct _interpreters and _interpchannels against CPython 3.14
Argument matching:
- Add `function::ArgSpec`, a `PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords` equivalent that
applies the `|`, `$` and `:` markers of a format string to a `kwlist`, and
route every module function of both modules through it. This enforces
keyword-only parameters, rejects unexpected keywords, accepts keyword forms
that were previously positional-only (`whence(id=)`, `get_config(id=)`,
`set___main___attrs(id=, updates=)`, `capture_exception(exc=)`,
`_register_end_types(send=, recv=)`), and reproduces the arity messages.
- `O!` slots (`shared`, `updates`, `call`'s `args`/`kwargs`) now reject None,
and `_PyArg_BadArgument` renders None as "None" rather than "NoneType".
- `new_config` takes at most one positional `str`; `list_all` of
`_interpchannels` is argument-less.
- Convert arguments in `kwlist` order, so an argument's own error is raised
ahead of the checks that follow it.
_interpreters:
- Add the `CrossInterpreterBufferView` type and build the received memoryview
on it, keeping the sending interpreter's exporter out of the destination.
- Build `excinfo.errdisplay` from `traceback.TracebackException`.
Feature flags:
- `os.fork` checks finalization before `allow_fork`, matching `os_fork_impl`.
- `_thread.start_new_thread` and `start_joinable_thread` reject an interpreter
without `allow_threads`.
Lib/concurrent/interpreters/_crossinterp.py: restore the stripped docstrings
and comments.

* Correct the stateless checks and error shapes of _interpreters against CPython 3.14
verify_stateless_function follows _PyFunction_VerifyStateless: it rejects
non-dict builtins, a non-empty __defaults__, __kwdefaults__ or __closure__,
and code whose LOAD_GLOBAL names are held by the function's globals or
absent from its builtins.
code_returns_only_none follows _PyCode_ReturnsOnlyNone: generator,
coroutine and async-generator code is rejected up front, the instruction
walk skips inline caches and maps specialized and instrumented opcodes
back, and the LOAD_CONST preceding each RETURN_VALUE is compared against
the index of None in co_consts.
ExcInfo::capture keeps an empty exception message instead of dropping it,
and builds `formatted` as `module.qualname: msg`, leaving out the builtins
and __main__ modules.
_interpreters.call packs the callable through _PyFunction_GetXIData before
pickle and re-raises the stateless-check failure when both fail. A func,
args or kwargs that cannot be rebuilt in the target, and a result without
cross-interpreter data, now raise NotShareableError with the snapshot as
the cause rather than being returned as excinfo.
_interpreters.capture_exception() without an argument returns None.
pickle_loads and _PyFunction_GetXIData attach the underlying failure as
__cause__.
channel_send converts the object to cross-interpreter data after the
channel's `closing` check.
ChannelID rich comparison returns the result of comparing its id with the
other number instead of coercing that result to bool.
PyMemoryView_FromObjectAndFlags raises "memoryview: a bytes-like object is
required, not 'X'" for an object that is not a buffer.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Correct cross-interpreter data conversion and channel argument parsing
Bound shareable ints by isize, raising OverflowError("try sending as
bytes") outside that range and keeping it as the NotShareableError cause.
Report an unshareable object by its repr, and attach a failing conversion
as __cause__ of the NotShareableError raised for the object it was called
for, so each level of a nested tuple appears in the chain.
Guard each tuple item conversion with with_recursion("while sharing a
tuple").
Gate the memoryview getdata function on `_interpreters` having been
imported, and route channel_send_buffer through a memoryview so it uses
that function and the resolved fallback.
Create the cross-interpreter exception types from the module_exec of
either module that raises them, instead of only `_interpreters`.
parse_cid raises OverflowError("int too big to convert"); int_arg
reproduces the `i` converter's three overflow messages and is also used
while parsing channel_send arguments.
Add BASETYPE to _queue.Empty, and gate nt.execv/nt.execve on allow_exec.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Correct interpreter ID parsing and the channel_send defaults lookup
_PyInterpreterState_ObjectToID accepts any object with __index__, raises
OverflowError("int too big to convert") outside the int64 range, and
reports a negative ID with the repr of the original object.
channelsmod_send reads the channel's default unboundop and fallback only
when one of the two arguments is negative, so an explicit pair is
validated before the channel is looked up.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Add the _interpqueues module and concurrent.interpreters._queues
_interpqueues holds a process-wide queue table and exposes create,
destroy, list_all, put, get, bind, release, get_maxsize,
get_queue_defaults, is_full, get_count and _register_heap_types, raising
QueueError and QueueNotFoundError. QueueEmpty and QueueFull, which
subclass queue.Empty and queue.Full, are registered per interpreter by
concurrent.interpreters._queues.
Cross-interpreter data carries a queue as a refcounted queue ID that
binds when the data is captured and releases when it is dropped, and
is_shareable reports a registered Queue as shareable.
Queue and channel items owned by an interpreter are now cleared from
Interpreter::finalize, after module finalization, rather than from
destroy_owned_interpreter, so values sent by an atexit callback also
become unbound.
is_shareable gates memoryview on the same registration flag as the
getdata lookup.

* Add the high-level concurrent.interpreters API
Interpreter, ExecutionFailed and the queue aliases, copied verbatim from
CPython 3.14.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Destroy leftover subinterpreters when the main interpreter finalizes
Interpreter::finalize now runs finalize_subinterpreters between the atexit
handlers and the finalizing flag: when the main interpreter still owns
subinterpreters it emits the RuntimeWarning "remaining subinterpreters;
close them with Interpreter.close()" and then finalizes each of them.
runtime::owned_interpreter_ids lists the runtime-owned interpreters.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Absolutize the script path in run_file
_Py_abspath and _PyPathConfig_ComputeSysPath0 arrive as abs_path and
script_sys_path0. run_file hands the absolutized path to get_importer
and to the runner, so __file__ and co_filename no longer stay relative,
and inserts the symlink-resolved script directory as sys.path[0]
instead of the argument's parent.
test_cmd_line_script.test_script_abspath no longer expects a failure.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Name types in error messages the way tp_name does
The object, number, sequence and mapping protocols, the
unsupported-operand helpers, and the type-specific messages fed from
them now read PyType::slot_name() where they read PyType::name(),
so a type declared with a module keeps it.
Message texts corrected along the way:
- PySequence_Size, PyMapping_Size, PySequence_GetItem and
PySequence_SetItem/DelItem split their merged wording in two, and
PyObject_SetItem/DelItem say "object".
- PyObject_GenericSetAttr reports a read-only attribute and the
missing __dict__.
- check_class drops the type name it appended.
- __int__ and __index__ drop the class prefix; __float__ keeps it.
- float(), complex(), round(), next(), str subscripting and list
subscripting take their own wording.
- str.join and bytes.join number the item they turn down and name what
they wanted, and report a non-iterable as "can only join an
iterable".
test_class.testObjectAttributeAccessErrorMessages,
string_tests.test_subscript and the test_descrtut doctest no longer
expect a failure.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Gate script_code's source compilation on the compiler feature
crossinterp::script_code called vm.compile unconditionally, which only
exists with the rustpython-compiler feature. Builds without it, such as
example_projects/barebone, now raise a TypeError instead of failing to
compile.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5
* Skip test_pyinit_function_raises_exception
The test imports _testsinglephase in its body without a decorator
guarding it, and now that _interpreters exists requires_subinterpreters
no longer skips it.

Summary
_interpreters,_interpchannels, and_interpqueuesconcurrent.interpretershigh-level API, including queuesCPython compatibility review
The implementation was compared against the CPython 3.14 sources, including argument parsing, error shapes, shareability checks, interpreter ID handling, channel defaults, queue semantics, and interpreter finalization order.
In particular, channel and queue cleanup now happens after module and
atexitfinalization. This preserves values written by finalizers and exposes them asUNBOUND, matching CPython behavior after the owning interpreter exits. The high-levelconcurrent.interpretersfiles are synchronized with CPython 3.14.7.Validation
