This fixes CPython compatibility gaps in contextvars, command-line startup, and os.stat, enabling nine existing regression tests.

  • Validate Context and ContextVar arguments and context mapping keys with the expected errors. Hash context variable names through the Python protocol so unhashable string subclasses are rejected, while preserving their string contents without invoking __str__.
  • Initialize __main__.__loader__ to BuiltinImporter for command and stdin execution. Report missing script files with the executable name and exit status 2.
  • Reject file descriptors combined with follow_symlinks=False in os.stat.

Validation on macOS:

  • cargo test --workspace --exclude rustpython_wasm --exclude rustpython-venvlauncher --exclude rustpython-capi
  • cargo test from crates/capi
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --exclude rustpython_wasm --exclude rustpython-venvlauncher --exclude rustpython-capi
  • cargo clippy --all-targets from crates/capi
  • cargo run --release -- -m test test_context test_cmd_line_script test_posix — all three modules passed, 284 tests run and 104 skipped.
  • Additional checks for string subclass names, unhashable names, missing-script exit status and executable prefix; configured pre-commit hooks.

AI assistance: Codex (GPT-6) reviewed and refined the local changes, ran validation, and prepared the commit and PR.

Clippy completed successfully with five existing must_use_candidate warnings in the unchanged rustpython-compiler-source crate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid keys used with context mappings now raise a clear TypeError.
    • os.stat() now raises ValueError when a file descriptor is used with symlink following disabled.
    • The __main__ module now consistently receives the correct built-in importer when no loader is set.
    • File-open failures now display a CPython-compatible error message and exit with status code 2.

Validate Context and ContextVar arguments and mapping keys, hash names through the Python protocol, and preserve string contents without invoking __str__. Set the main module loader for command and stdin execution, report missing scripts with exit status 2, and reject file descriptors combined with follow_symlinks=False.

Enable the nine corresponding stdlib regression tests.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add explicit contextvars argument and key validation, reject an invalid os.stat argument combination, initialize the main-module importer consistently, and standardize file-open failures in run_file.

Changes

Context variable API validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Context key validation and invocation
crates/stdlib/src/contextvars.rs
Context operations validate keys as ContextVar objects. PyContext.run manually extracts and calls its callable.
Constructor parsing and hash generation
crates/stdlib/src/contextvars.rs
PyContext and ContextVar constructors parse FuncArgs directly. ContextVar hash generation uses a precomputed name hash.

OS stat argument validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
stat argument guard
crates/vm/src/stdlib/os.rs
os.stat raises ValueError when a file descriptor is combined with follow_symlinks=False.

Main module importer setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Main importer configuration
crates/vm/src/vm/vm_new.rs
VirtualMachine sets __main__.__loader__ to BuiltinImporter when no loader is present, for both existing and newly created main modules.

File execution error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
File availability and error reporting
src/lib.rs
run_file checks file metadata in host_env mode and routes file-open failures through cant_open_file, which prints an error and returns exit code 2.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0c587

This update improves CPython compatibility for context variables, startup, and filesystem behavior, but edge cases involving surrogate-containing context variable names and invalid UTF-8 sandbox paths may still produce incorrect behavior. The risk is bounded to unusual inputs.

Preserve all Python str code points in ContextVar.name.

ContextVar.name is stored as a Rust String, and line 527 converts the validated PyStr with to_string(). Rust String cannot represent lone surrogates, so ContextVar("\ud800").name cannot preserve the input. Store the name as a WTF-8-compatible value and add a regression test for ContextVar("\ud800").name == "\ud800".

Map host-side read failures to cant_open_file.

run_any_file calls run_simple_file, which reads the file with crate::host_env::fs::read and converts failures to new_os_error. Therefore, a failure after metadata(path) succeeds bypasses cant_open_file and its required SystemExit(2) diagnostic. Route this read failure through the same helper.

🌐 Web query:

site:doc.rust-lang.org/std/fs/fn.read_to_string.html read_to_string InvalidData UTF-8 ErrorKind

💡 Result:

In Rust, the std::fs::read_to_string function is designed to read the entire contents of a file into a String [1]. Because a Rust String must be valid UTF-8, this function will return an error if the file's contents are not valid UTF-8 [1]. When this occurs during the conversion process, the resulting std::io::Error will typically have an ErrorKind of InvalidData, which indicates that the data provided does not conform to the expected format (in this case, UTF-8 encoding). If you encounter this error, it signifies that the file you are attempting to read contains non-UTF-8 bytes [1].

Citations:


Handle UTF-8 decoding errors separately from file-open errors.

If std::fs::read_to_string returns ErrorKind::InvalidData for invalid UTF-8, this branch passes it to cant_open_file. That helper reports “can't open file”, defaults the missing OS error to 2, and exits with SystemExit(2). Handle decoding errors separately, or read bytes and decode before calling cant_open_file.

@codspeedbot explain why performance improved

Short answer: nothing in this PR made anything faster. gc_collect.py[rustpython] is order-dependent, and this run simply drew a favourable benchmark order.

What the data says

Only one of the 66 benchmarks moved (204.8 ms → 58.9 ms). The diff touches contextvars argument validation, os.stat, __main__.__loader__ and the run_file error path — none of which benches/benchmarks/gc_collect.py executes. It creates reference cycles and calls gc.collect().

Comparing the two flame graphs, the difference is entirely inside the collector, on identical call paths:

BASE (82cd595) HEAD (6535c47)
Benchmark total 204.8 ms 58.9 ms
GcState::collect_inner (total) 141.6 ms (69%) 18.6 ms (32%)
PyInner::traverse (total) 53.4 ms (26%) 6.8 ms (11%)

Same code, same call counts per collection — roughly 8× fewer objects walked.

Why the object count changes between runs

gc_state() is a process-wide static_cell (crates/vm/src/gc_state.rs), so the generation lists hold the tracked objects of every interpreter that has run in the process. collect_inner scans those shared lists and takes as candidates everything owned by the current interpreter or tagged GC_NO_OWNER (is_owned_by). When an earlier benchmark's Interpreter is dropped, its owner tag is retired and its surviving tracked objects are re-tagged GC_NO_OWNER — so they become full candidates for every later gc.collect().

Criterion runs all benchmarks in one process, and benches/execution.rs collects the benchmark files into a std::collections::HashMap before iterating them:

.collect::<HashMap<_, _>>();
...
for (name, contents) in &benches {
    benchmark_file_execution(&mut execution_group, name, contents);
}

HashMap iteration order is randomised per process, so how much orphaned heap gc_collect.py inherits is effectively random on each run.

That is visible in the history of this benchmark on main, across unrelated commits:

Commit gc_collect.py[rustpython]
a8aa383 117.5 ms
dde7d24 146.5 ms
c8cc54f 246.1 ms
55cebcd 96.6 ms
82cd595 (this PR's base) 204.8 ms

A ×2.5 spread with no related change. This PR's base landed near the top of that band and the head run near the bottom, which is where the ×3.5 comes from. gc_traversal.py has the same sensitivity (it moved +4.9% here, below the reporting threshold).

Suggested fix

If you want this benchmark to be comparable across runs, the cheapest change is to make the iteration deterministic — swapping the HashMap in benches/execution.rs for a BTreeMap gives every process the same predecessor set, so base and head become directly comparable even if the absolute number stays inflated. Running the two GC benchmarks in a dedicated process, or untracking a retired interpreter's objects instead of re-tagging them GC_NO_OWNER, would fix the inflation itself.

Happy to open a PR for the BTreeMap change if that sounds useful. Nothing to change in this PR — you can safely ignore the reported improvement.

Summary
  • Warming up the performance wizard...
  • Compare the PR run against its base — gc_collect.py[rustpython] is the only benchmark that moved: 204.8 ms -> 58.9 ms; 65 others unchanged.
  • Check whether the diff can explain the change — The diff touches contextvars, os.stat, main.loader and the run_file error path — none of which the benchmark executes.
  • Profile base vs head — GcState::collect_inner accounts for 141.6 ms (69%) at base vs 18.6 ms (32%) at head, same call paths, ~8x fewer objects traversed.
  • Identify the root cause — The GC state is a process-wide static and criterion iterates the benchmark files from a std HashMap, so gc_collect.py inherits a randomly-sized orphaned heap from whichever benchmarks ran before it.
  • Cross-check historical values on main — Recent main runs report 246.1, 146.5, 117.5, 96.6 and 204.8 ms for the same benchmark — a x2.5 spread on unrelated commits.

* Align contextvars, CLI startup, and stat validation with CPython

Validate Context and ContextVar arguments and mapping keys, hash names through the Python protocol, and preserve string contents without invoking __str__. Set the main module loader for command and stdin execution, report missing scripts with exit status 2, and reject file descriptors combined with follow_symlinks=False.

Enable the nine corresponding stdlib regression tests.
