Good to see this one picked up. I ran the cases against CPython 3.14.7 and the mechanism holds for everything the vendored test exercises. Four things came out of the comparison, and the first is the one that matters.
The wrapper does not reach update, the constructor, or |=. merge_object_with_override and merge_from_seq2 call dict.insert directly, and Initializer::init goes through update, which goes through merge_object. So on 3.14:
dict([([],1)]) TypeError: cannot use 'list' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'list')
d.update([([],1)]) TypeError: cannot use 'list' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'list')
d |= [([],1)] TypeError: cannot use 'list' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'list')
and all three still give the old wording here. merge_dict is fine as it stands, since its keys come out of a real dict and cannot be unhashable.
Then the re-hash. key.key_hash(vm).is_err() in the guard hashes the key a second time on the error path, where CPython hashes once. I counted, it is one call for getitem, setitem, get, setdefault, pop, contains and delitem. Two consequences, and the second is the sharp one: when __hash__ fails only on its first call, the second hash succeeds, the arm never matches, and the error escapes with no wrapping at all.
CPython 3.14.7, __hash__ raising only on call 1:
TypeError: cannot use 'Flaky' as a dict key (first call fails) 1 hash call
set.rs, which this mirrors, does not re-hash. Hashing once up front and threading the hash down would sidestep the whole question, and dict_inner already has insert_known_hash, contains_known_hash and delete_if_exists_known_hash.
Two smaller ones, and both are true of set.rs today as well, so they are the repo's rather than yours:
key.class().name() gives the bare name, but CPython's %T is qualified. Measured on 3.14.7, a module-level class gives cannot use 'mymod.ModLevel' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'ModLevel') and a nested one gives 'maker.<locals>.Nested'. PyType::fully_qualified_name at crates/vm/src/builtins/type.rs:1513 is exactly that, and its doc comment says so. The vendored test only uses list, so it passes either way.
fast_isinstance catches subclasses, where CPython checks the exact type. A __hash__ raising MyTypeError(TypeError) comes back out of CPython untouched; here it would be rewritten into a plain TypeError, which changes what an except MyTypeError catches.
The __eq__ snippet is a genuine regression test rather than decoration, and enabling test_unhashable_key is the right call.
|
Thanks for the detailed CPython comparison — exactly the review this needed. Addressed in the latest commit: 1. Coverage (constructor / update / |=): right, those go through 2. The re-hash: dropped. Each op hashes once via a 3. Qualified name: now uses 4. Exact type: the guard checks the exact Added regression tests for all four to the snippet. |

Preserve the empty-dictionary test case.
This file matches extra_tests/**/*.py. The path rule forbids modifying test data. Changing {} to {1: 1} removes coverage for pop() on an empty dictionary. Keep the original case and add a separate non-empty case for the single-hash assertion.
As per coding guidelines, files matching extra_tests/**/*.py must not modify test assertions, logic, or test data.

Thanks for the reviews here. All the CodeRabbit feedback has been addressed and CI is green except for CodSpeed, which is a performance benchmark unaffected by a dict error-message change (there's no baseline for the fork branch). Whenever a maintainer has a moment, could this get a look? Happy to rebase if it helps. |

The only red check is CodSpeed, and I believe it's a cross-environment false positive rather than a real regression from this change. The single benchmark flagged is For what it's worth, the new error message is built lazily: the |
Dict operations (subscription, membership, get/pop/setdefault, ...) now raise "cannot use 'X' as a dict key (unhashable type: 'X')", matching CPython 3.14 and mirroring the existing PySetInner wrapping. The key is only materialized on the error path, so hashable keys pay no extra cost. Enables Lib/test/test_dict.py::DictTest::test_unhashable_key. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic)
wrap_unhashable_error previously rewrote any TypeError from a dict operation as an unhashable-key error, but those operations also compare keys on a hash collision, so a TypeError from a colliding key's __eq__ was mislabeled. Disambiguate on the error path by re-hashing the key, so the successful path still hashes exactly once (keeps the do-not-rehash / atomic invariants) while comparison errors propagate unchanged. Adds a colliding-key regression test. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic)
Addresses the review feedback (thanks @luantaraschi): - The message now reaches update(), the constructor and |= as well, not just __setitem__: merge_object_with_override and merge_from_seq2 now hash the key up front and thread it into contains_known_hash/insert_known_hash. - Hash the key once instead of re-hashing on the error path. This threads the hash through the *_known_hash operations (add dict_inner get_known_hash), so a __hash__ that fails only on its first call is still reported instead of escaping unwrapped. - Use the fully-qualified type name (matching CPython's %T). - Only an exact TypeError is rewritten; a __hash__ raising a TypeError subclass now propagates unchanged. pop() and setdefault() have no *_known_hash entry point on the inner map, so they hash once up front for the message and then do their own single lookup. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8
Follow-up on the review: setdefault() and pop() previously hashed the key a second time (inside the inner map) after hash_or_unhashable already hashed it, so a stateful __hash__ failing on the second call would skip the dict-specific message. Add setdefault_known_hash / pop_known_hash to the inner map and thread the precomputed hash, so every operation now hashes exactly once. Adds a regression test asserting setdefault/pop call __hash__ only once. Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.8
…pop path
`{}.pop(CountingHash())` on an empty dict does not hash the key under
CPython 3.14 (the lookup short-circuits), so `CountingHash.calls == 1` was 0
and the snippet failed its CPython parity run. Use a non-empty dict so the
lookup must hash the key exactly once, on both CPython and RustPython. Also
applied `ruff format` (two blank lines before top-level defs).

now we don't have pop. no reason to keep pop_known_hash without pop
Per review, with the plain pop gone the _known_hash suffix no longer earns its keep, so drop it. Matches the remaining known-hash helpers that still pair with a base method. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <[email protected]>

Renamed pop_known_hash to pop like you suggested. You're right that the suffix stopped making sense once the plain pop was gone. And point taken on the earlier comments. That was lazy of me, I leaned on generated text and passed it off as my own words. From here on I'll write my own replies and only quote generated stuff when I actually mean to quote it.
