Match CPython 3.15 ParserCreate conversion order and reject embedded NULs, multi-byte namespace separators and non-dictionary intern values.
Preserve omitted versus explicit None for interning, accept dict subclasses, and retain native None defaults for the first two arguments.
This change validates the explicit encoding argument but does not implement encoding selection; the existing backend behavior remains.
Verification
Independent source review compared the implementation with CPython v3.15.0 Modules/pyexpat.c and its generated Clinic wrapper. Normal commit hooks and rustfmt passed.
No local RustPython build or runtime tests were run because the required coordinated native guard was unavailable. Hosted CI must validate the exact head, especially test_pyexpat and XML consumers.
The existing NamespaceSeparatorTest.test_illegal remains an expected failure until actual runtime evidence supports retiring its marker through update_lib. It may become an unexpected success in CI. Existing tests do not directly cover every new validation branch, including explicit intern and multibyte separator cases.
Long non-ASCII type names crossing the 50-byte diagnostic truncation boundary may differ from CPython because RustPython truncates at a UTF-8 character boundary.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Parser configuration now validates that encoding and namespace-separator values are strings or None, and rejects values containing embedded NUL characters.
Namespace separators must be a single UTF-8 byte.
Non-None values supplied for the intern option must be dictionaries.
Match CPython conversion order, UTF-8 byte limits, embedded NUL rejection, and intern dictionary validation while retaining the existing backend encoding behavior.
Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex:model version not exposed
ParserCreate now validates encoding and namespace-separator arguments as strings or None, rejects embedded NUL characters, and limits the separator to one UTF-8 byte. It also requires a supplied intern value to be a dictionary.
Changes: ParserCreate Argument Validation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Argument conversion and validation crates/stdlib/src/pyexpat.rs
The argument conversion helper accepts None or a string and rejects other types and embedded NUL characters. ParserCreate limits the namespace separator to one UTF-8 byte and rejects a non-dictionary intern value. Encoding remains unused.
RustPython/RustPython#6839 — This change updates pyexpat parser creation as part of the issue’s standard-library updates for CPython 3.15.0.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 045bb
The argument validation is mergeable subject to normal checks. Adding the proposed separator and intern tests would better protect the new behavior against regressions.

The title "Validate pyexpat parser creation arguments" matches the main change. The raw summary says ParserCreate now validates its encoding, namespace-separator, and intern arguments, rejecting embedded NUL characters, multi-byte separators, and non-dictionary intern values.

parser_create rejects a namespace separator that is longer than one UTF-8 byte. The existing snippet only passes None and "!", and NamespaceSeparatorTest does not pass a multi-byte separator. A change that counts characters instead of bytes would still pass the current tests. Add an assertion that rejects "\u00e9" to lock in the current byte-length behavior.

Review comment at @crates/stdlib/src/pyexpat.rs at line 1930:
Add a regression assertion in NamespaceSeparatorTest that calls ParserCreate
with the two-byte UTF-8 separator “é” and verifies it raises ValueError. Keep
the existing checks for None and “!” and ensure the test distinguishes
byte-length validation from character-count validation.
Add a regression assertion for the non-dictionary intern rejection.
Add a regression assertion for the non-dictionary intern rejection.
ParserCreate rejects a non-dictionary explicit intern at crates/stdlib/src/pyexpat.rs:1935-1940. The head Python tests never pass intern, so removing this check would not change their results. Without the check, ParserCreate(intern=1) succeeds, and intern_name silently falls back to unmemoized names.
Add this case to extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_pyexpat.py, because CONTRIBUTING.md directs new RustPython-only regression tests to extra_tests:
try:
expat.ParserCreate(intern=1)
exceptTypeError:
passelse:
raiseAssertionError("ParserCreate(intern=1) must raise TypeError")
Scope
The assertion covers only the rejection path that the current check implements. It does not test the intern argument's behavior with valid dictionaries or subclasses.

Review comment at @crates/stdlib/src/pyexpat.rs around lines 1935 - 1940:
Add a regression assertion to the RustPython-only pyexpat tests that calling
expat.ParserCreate with an explicit non-dictionary intern value raises
TypeError. Keep the test limited to this rejection behavior; do not expand it to
valid dictionaries or subclasses.
