Summary

  • Accept bytes names in unicodedata.lookup and ucd_3_2_0.lookup, as CPython's s# argument converter does.
  • Encode string names as UTF-8 fallibly, producing UnicodeEncodeError for surrogates rather than KeyError.
  • Match CPython 3.15's 256-byte name limit and failed-name formatting for embedded NULs and invalid UTF-8 bytes.

Verification and scope

  • Compared against CPython 3.15.0's Modules/unicodedata.c, generated Clinic wrapper, Python/getargs.c, and Unicode formatting implementation. Independently source-reviewed input conversion, both UCD views, error ordering and the staged logic.
  • Normal commit hooks, rustfmt and git diff --check passed. No test files were edited.
  • No local build, RustPython runtime tests, workspace tests, C-API tests, or clippy ran because the required coordinated native execution guard was unavailable. Hosted CI must validate the exact commit. Existing canonical tests do not directly cover these input cases.
  • s# also accepts some less-common buffer exporters with no release callback; this change does not add those. Bytearray and memoryview remain rejected. Wrong-type diagnostic wording may differ from CPython.
  • The independent Unicode name-matching and decomposition work in Align Unicode lookup and decomposition with CPython 3.15 #9476 remains necessary; this PR changes only the wrapper.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Unicode name lookups now accept either UTF-8 strings or bytes.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Names longer than 256 bytes now return a clear “name too long” error. Failed lookups format error messages using the input up to the first NUL byte.

Match CPython Unicode name conversion for bytes and surrogate-containing strings, including the byte-length limit and failed-name formatting.

Walkthrough

Ucd.lookup now accepts bytes and UTF-8 strings. It rejects inputs longer than 256 bytes and formats failed lookup names using bytes before the first NUL.

Changes: Unicode database lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lookup input handling
crates/stdlib/src/unicodedata.rs
lookup accepts a general Python object and reads bytes from bytes inputs or UTF-8 strings. Inputs over 256 bytes raise KeyError("name too long"). Failed lookups display the bytes before the first NUL, decoded lossily.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: youknowone

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to e50f3

The bytes-name support has no identified blocking defect. Adding regression assertions for both lookup entry points would improve confidence; runtime validation remains outstanding.

Nitpick Add bytes-name assertions for both lookup entry points.

345-347: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add bytes-name assertions for both lookup entry points.

The unicodedata.lookup and unicodedata.ucd_3_2_0.lookup checks in this snippet use only str names. A change that rejects bytes would not fail these checks. Add bytes assertions beside the existing str checks:

Suggested test additions
 assert unicodedata.ucd_3_2_0.lookup("SNOWMAN") == "☃"
+assert unicodedata.lookup(b"LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A") == "A"
+assert unicodedata.ucd_3_2_0.lookup(b"LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A") == "A"

Add bytes-name assertions alongside the existing string checks for both
`unicodedata.lookup` and `unicodedata.ucd_3_2_0.lookup`, verifying each accepts
a bytes name and returns the expected character.
