Jeong, YunWon a04189fa34 Align bytecode codegen structure with CPython 3.14 (#7588)
* Align bytecode codegen structure with CPython 3.14

* Bytecode parity - constant folding, annotation ordering, superinstruction alignment

- Add BoolOp constant folding with short-circuit semantics in compile_expression
- Add constant truthiness evaluation for assert statement optimization
- Disable const collection/boolop folding in starred unpack and assignment contexts
- Move annotation block generation after body with AnnotationsPlaceholder splicing
- Reorder insert_superinstructions to run before push_cold_blocks (matching flowgraph.c)
- Lower LOAD_CLOSURE after superinstructions to avoid false LOAD_FAST_LOAD_FAST
- Add ToBool before PopJumpIf in comparisons and chained compare cleanup blocks
- Unify annotation dict building to always use incremental BuildMap + StoreSubscr
- Add TrueDivide constant folding for integer operands
- Fold constant sets to Frozenset (not Tuple) in try_fold_constant_collection
- Add PyVmBag for frozenset constant materialization in code objects
- Add remove_redundant_const_pop_top_pairs pass and peephole const+branch folding
- Emit Nop for skipped constant expressions and constant-true asserts
- Preserve comprehension local ordering by source-order bound name collection
- Simplify annotation scanning in symboltable (remove simple-name gate)

* Fix CI regressions in marshal and fast-local ops

* impl more

* Align bytecode codegen with CPython structure

* Bytecode parity - comprehension/except scope ordering, load_fast_borrow fixes

- Reorder comprehension symbol-table walk so the outermost iterator
  registers its sub_tables in the enclosing scope before the comp
  scope, and rescan elt/ifs in CPython's order. Codegen peeks past the
  outermost iterator's nested scopes to find the comprehension table.
- For plain try/except, emit handler sub_tables before the else block
  so codegen's linear sub_table cursor stays aligned.
- Rename `collect_simple_annotations` to `collect_annotations` and
  evaluate non-simple annotations during __annotate__ compilation to
  preserve source-order side effects while keeping the simple-name
  index stable.
- Dedupe equivalent code constants in `arg_constant` and add a
  structural equality check on `CodeObject`.
- Disable LOAD_FAST_BORROW for the tail end block when a try has a
  bare `except:` clause, and have `new_block` inherit the flag from
  the current block.
- Remove `cfg!(debug_assertions)` guard around the
  `optimize_load_fast_borrow` start-depth check so mismatches are
  handled (return instead of assert) in release builds.
- Collapse nop-only blocks that precede a return epilogue and hoist
  the prior line number into the next real instruction so the
  line table matches.
- Unmark now-passing `test_consts_in_conditionals`,
  `test_load_fast_unknown_simple`,
  `test_load_fast_known_because_already_loaded`, and PEP 646 f3/f4
  annotation checks.

* Bytecode parity - try/except line tracking, assert 0 shape

- In `compile_try_except`, drop the leading Nop and set the end
  block's source range from the last orelse/body statement so line
  events after the try fall on the right line.
- Recognise constant-false asserts as the direct-raise shape (no
  ToBool/PopJumpIfFalse) and flip the test assertion accordingly.
- Extend `remove_redundant_nops_in_blocks` to also look through a
  trailing nop before a return-epilogue pair (LoadConst/ReturnValue
  or LoadSmallInt/ReturnValue) so the epilogue keeps the correct
  line number.
- Rename `preds` to `predecessor_blocks` in the LOAD_FAST_BORROW
  disable pass and add a test-only `debug_late_cfg_trace` helper.
- Regenerate the `nested_double_async_with` snapshot: the tail
  reference to `stop_exc` now emits LOAD_FAST instead of
  LOAD_FAST_BORROW.

* Bytecode parity - iter folding, break/continue line, cold inlining

- Fold a constant list iterable into a constant tuple in for-loop
  iterable position, matching the CPython optimizer, and strip a
  redundant LIST_TO_TUPLE immediately before GET_ITER in the IR
  peephole pass.
- Emit a Nop at the break/continue source range before unwinding
  so line events land on the break/continue statement instead of
  the following instruction.
- Drop `propagate_disable_load_fast_borrow`; the forward propagation
  was over-zealous and the per-block inheritance in `new_block` plus
  the bare-except marker are enough.
- Relax `inline_small_or_no_lineno_blocks` so small exit blocks at
  the tail of a cold block are always inlined, not just return
  epilogues.
- Add codegen tests covering the LIST_TO_TUPLE/GET_ITER peephole and
  the late-CFG trace helper for a for-loop list-literal iterable.

RustPython

A Python-3 (CPython >= 3.14.0) Interpreter written in Rust 🐍 😱 🤘.

Build Status codecov License: MIT Contributors Discord Shield docs.rs Crates.io dependency status Open in Gitpod

Usage

Check out our online demo running on WebAssembly.

RustPython requires Rust latest stable version (e.g 1.67.1 at February 7th 2023). If you don't currently have Rust installed on your system you can do so by following the instructions at rustup.rs.

To check the version of Rust you're currently running, use rustc --version. If you wish to update, rustup update stable will update your Rust installation to the most recent stable release.

To build RustPython locally, first, clone the source code:

git clone https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython

RustPython uses symlinks to manage python libraries in Lib/. If on windows, running the following helps:

git config core.symlinks true

Then you can change into the RustPython directory and run the demo (Note: --release is needed to prevent stack overflow on Windows):

$ cd RustPython
$ cargo run --release demo_closures.py
Hello, RustPython!

Or use the interactive shell:

$ cargo run --release
Welcome to rustpython
>>>>> 2+2
4

NOTE: For windows users, please set RUSTPYTHONPATH environment variable as Lib path in project directory. (e.g. When RustPython directory is C:\RustPython, set RUSTPYTHONPATH as C:\RustPython\Lib)

You can also install and run RustPython with the following:

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython rustpython
$ rustpython
Welcome to the magnificent Rust Python interpreter
>>>>>

venv

Because RustPython currently doesn't provide a well-packaged installation, using venv helps to use pip easier.

$ rustpython -m venv <your_env_name>
$ . <your_env_name>/bin/activate
$ python # now `python` is the alias of the RustPython for the new env

PIP

If you'd like to make https requests, you can enable the ssl feature, which also lets you install the pip package manager. Note that on Windows, you may need to install OpenSSL, or you can enable the ssl-vendor feature instead, which compiles OpenSSL for you but requires a C compiler, perl, and make. OpenSSL version 3 is expected and tested in CI. Older versions may not work.

Once you've installed rustpython with SSL support, you can install pip by running:

cargo install --git https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython
rustpython --install-pip

You can also install RustPython through the conda package manager, though this isn't officially supported and may be out of date:

conda install rustpython -c conda-forge
rustpython

SSL provider

For HTTPS requests, ssl-rustls feature is enabled by default. You can replace it with ssl-openssl feature if your environment requires OpenSSL. Note that to use OpenSSL on Windows, you may need to install OpenSSL, or you can enable the ssl-vendor feature instead, which compiles OpenSSL for you but requires a C compiler, perl, and make. OpenSSL version 3 is expected and tested in CI. Older versions may not work.

WASI

You can compile RustPython to a standalone WebAssembly WASI module so it can run anywhere.

Build

cargo build --target wasm32-wasip1 --no-default-features --features freeze-stdlib,stdlib --release

Run by wasmer

wasmer run --dir `pwd` -- target/wasm32-wasip1/release/rustpython.wasm `pwd`/extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_random.py

Run by wapm

$ wapm install rustpython
$ wapm run rustpython
>>>>> 2+2
4

Building the WASI file

You can build the WebAssembly WASI file with:

cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip1 --features="freeze-stdlib"

Note: we use the freeze-stdlib to include the standard library inside the binary. You also have to run once rustup target add wasm32-wasip1.

JIT (Just in time) compiler

RustPython has a very experimental JIT compiler that compile python functions into native code.

Building

By default the JIT compiler isn't enabled, it's enabled with the jit cargo feature.

cargo run --features jit

This requires autoconf, automake, libtool, and clang to be installed.

Using

To compile a function, call __jit__() on it.

def foo():
    a = 5
    return 10 + a

foo.__jit__()  # this will compile foo to native code and subsequent calls will execute that native code
assert foo() == 15

Embedding RustPython into your Rust Applications

Interested in exposing Python scripting in an application written in Rust, perhaps to allow quickly tweaking logic where Rust's compile times would be inhibitive? Then examples/hello_embed.rs and examples/mini_repl.rs may be of some assistance.

Disclaimer

RustPython is in development, and while the interpreter certainly can be used in interesting use cases like running Python in WASM and embedding into a Rust project, do note that RustPython is not totally production-ready.

Contribution is more than welcome! See our contribution section for more information on this.

Use cases

Although RustPython is a fairly young project, a few people have used it to make cool projects:

  • GreptimeDB: an open-source, cloud-native, distributed time-series database. Using RustPython for embedded scripting.
  • pyckitup: a game engine written in rust.
  • Robot Rumble: an arena-based AI competition platform
  • Ruff: an extremely fast Python linter, written in Rust

Goals

  • Full Python-3 environment entirely in Rust (not CPython bindings)
  • A clean implementation without compatibility hacks

Documentation

Currently along with other areas of the project, documentation is still in an early phase.

You can read the online documentation for the latest release, or the user guide.

You can also generate documentation locally by running:

cargo doc # Including documentation for all dependencies
cargo doc --no-deps --all # Excluding all dependencies

Documentation HTML files can then be found in the target/doc directory or you can append --open to the previous commands to have the documentation open automatically on your default browser.

For a high level overview of the components, see the architecture document.

Contributing

Contributions are more than welcome, and in many cases we are happy to guide contributors through PRs or on Discord. Please refer to the development guide as well for tips on developments.

With that in mind, please note this project is maintained by volunteers, some of the best ways to get started are below:

Most tasks are listed in the issue tracker. Check issues labeled with good first issue if you wish to start coding.

To enhance CPython compatibility, try to increase unittest coverage by checking this article: How to contribute to RustPython by CPython unittest

Another approach is to checkout the source code: builtin functions and object methods are often the simplest and easiest way to contribute.

You can also simply run python -I scripts/whats_left.py to assist in finding any unimplemented method.
