Found while round-tripping str.__dict__["maketrans"] with Cloudpickle.

Summary

  • Store native static methods as staticmethod descriptors in class dictionaries, exposing __func__ and __wrapped__ while preserving access through classes and instances.
  • Preserve the wrapped function's metadata. During bootstrap, defer hashing the metadata until the first interpreter chooses its hash seed.

AI assistance

Written with Codex (GPT-6), reviewed by a human before submission.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected the behavior of str.maketrans so it remains identifiable as a static method and can be called through either the str class or a string instance. Both call styles now produce the expected character-mapping result. This also keeps the method’s underlying function and wrapped-function references consistent when inspected.

Walkthrough

Static-flagged native methods now return as PyStaticMethod objects. Tests check the str.maketrans descriptor, its function references, and calls through the class and a string instance.

Changes: Native static-method descriptor

Layer / File(s) Summary
Wrap and validate native static methods
crates/vm/src/function/method.rs, extra_tests/snippets/builtin_type.py
to_proper_method wraps static-flagged methods in PyStaticMethod. Tests check str.maketrans descriptor attributes and calls through the class and an instance.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Footnotes

  1. 4 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

  2. No successful run was found on main (8eee162) during the generation of this report, so eccb9ad was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩

in general, adding static or tls is bad sign that AI goes to make workaround.

type_add_method wraps METH_STATIC functions with PyStaticMethod_New,
which stores only the callable and leaves the instance dict empty. Stop
copying __module__, __name__, __qualname__ and __doc__ into the wrapper,
and remove the process-wide pending table, Dict::initialize_attributes
and the hash secret hook that existed only to hash those keys during
bootstrap.

The snippet now checks __func__, __wrapped__ and calls through the class
and an instance; it also passes on CPython.

@1ndahous3 I tried to simplify the fix. please open another pr if I reverted too much necessary code. Thanks!
