Summary

  • Share unpickler option binding and conversion across construction, load, and loads. Derived raw fields finish binding before truth-value and UTF-8/NUL conversion; stream/data setup precedes buffers iteration.
  • Share file setup in CPython's attribute order and retain/traverse the optional readinto reference alongside the other file methods.
  • Reuse truth-value and C-long protocol conversion, then share pickler setup in protocol → file write lookup → buffer callback validation order.
  • Keep callback-bearing inputs rooted and drop replaced initializer state, memo, and configuration outside their locks.

No manual FuncArgs parser, tests, snippets, or workflows are added or modified.

Validation

  • Final-source stdlib library cargo check and strict threading Clippy passed.
  • Isolated CPython 3.15.0 reference probes cover all six truth/binding paths, unknown and duplicate keywords, codec None/NUL/surrogate errors, protocol bounds, input/setup callback order, and temporary codec-string lifetimes.
  • Independent source review, rustfmt, diff checks, and normal commit hooks passed.
  • RustPython runtime tests, full workspace tests, C-API tests, and non-Linux execution were not run locally because the native execution guard is unavailable. Hosted CI is still required.

Existing initializer rollback differences remain outside this patch. Conversion errors reuse the project's established helpers rather than duplicating per-function parsing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Pickling and unpickling now handle configuration options more consistently, including boolean conversion for import compatibility settings.
    • Invalid encoding and error-handler values are rejected instead of being treated as defaults.
    • Unsupported protocol values and buffer callbacks used with older protocols are rejected.
    • File streams now recognize additional optional reading methods, while still requiring read and readline.
    • Reconfiguring a pickler or unpickler stages new settings before replacing the existing configuration.

Walkthrough

The pickle implementation changes Unpickler option and stream setup, and centralizes Pickler configuration. Initializers stage configuration and state before replacing existing state. The load, loads, dump, and dumps paths use the updated setup.

Changes: Pickle initialization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Unpickler stream and option setup
crates/stdlib/src/pickle.rs		 ReadState stores and traces readinto. Unpickler options use shared conversion, and buffer iteration starts after stream or input setup.
Pickler configuration and state replacement
crates/stdlib/src/pickle.rs		 Pickler arguments and protocol conversion use the shared configuration path. Initializers replace state after setup succeeds; dump and dumps use that path.

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

Change: Bug fix

Explanation

The title "Share pickle configuration conversion" matches the main change. The PR moves unpickler and pickler option binding and conversion into shared helpers (UnpicklerOptions, ArgIntoBool, c_long::try_from_object) used by construction, load, loads, and pickler setup. The title names the primary aspect of the change, and it is concise and specific.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

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 12 functions across 1 files.

Resolution

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

Cover the readinto traversal in the Unpickler GC cycle test.

The cycle test stream defines read, readline, and peek, but no readinto. The readinto traversal in ReadState::traverse is therefore not exercised. Removing that traversal would not fail this test.

Binding a readinto method on the stream adds a reference that uses this edge. If the traversal is removed, the stream can stay alive, and the weakref assertion can fail. The test method is never called, so the new method does not add a fixture assumption.

🧪 Suggested test change 
 class UnpicklerCycleStream:
     def __init__(self):
         self.source = io.BytesIO(_pickle.dumps([1, 2, 3], protocol=4))
         self.read = self.source.read
+        self.readinto = self.readinto_bytes
         self.readline = self.source.readline
         self.peek = self.peek_bytes
 
+    def readinto_bytes(self, buffer):

the readinto reference traversed by ReadState::traverse. Keep the method unused
