Walkthrough

This change updates how exception tracebacks are set and validated. It introduces stricter type checking in the Rust backend, ensuring only valid traceback objects or None can be assigned to exceptions. The Python test for invalid traceback assignment is now treated as a normal test, no longer marked as an expected failure.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
Lib/test/test_exceptions.py Removed @unittest.expectedFailure decorator from testInvalidTraceback test method.
vm/src/exceptions.rs Refactored traceback setter: added type checking, new helper method, updated method signatures.
vm/src/frame.rs, vm/src/import.rs Switched to using the new typed traceback setter method for assigning tracebacks.

Poem

In the warren of code where exceptions dwell,
A rabbit ensures type checks are done well.
No more sneaky integers in traceback's lair—
Only tracebacks or None shall enter there!
With tests now honest, no failures to feign,
The code hops forward, clear and plain.

🔇 Additional comments (6)
vm/src/import.rs (1)

216-216: LGTM: Clean refactor to use typed traceback setter.

The change from set_traceback to set_traceback_typed aligns with the broader refactor to enforce stricter type checking for traceback assignment. The method signature and behavior remain consistent while improving type safety.

vm/src/frame.rs (1)

390-390: LGTM: Consistent use of typed traceback setter in exception handling.

The change to set_traceback_typed is consistent with the codebase refactor and maintains the same behavior for critical exception handling. The parameter type and conversion logic remain unchanged.

vm/src/exceptions.rs (4)

7-8: LGTM: Import additions support the traceback type checking enhancements.

The imports for PyTraceback and PyTracebackRef are necessary for the stricter type validation being introduced.

328-328: Good use of the new typed internal method.

Using set_traceback_typed for internal VM operations avoids unnecessary validation overhead and provides type safety at compile time.

588-603: Excellent implementation of input validation with proper error handling.

The public setter now properly validates that only None or valid PyTraceback objects can be assigned, providing clear error messages for invalid types. The separation between validation (here) and actual assignment (delegated to set_traceback_typed) follows good design principles.

The validation logic correctly:

  • Handles None values appropriately
  • Attempts type-safe downcasting to PyTraceback
  • Returns meaningful TypeError with a clear message
  • Delegates to the type-safe internal method

605-608: Well-designed internal helper method for type-safe operations.

The set_traceback_typed method provides a clean, type-safe interface for internal VM operations without validation overhead. The pub(crate) visibility is appropriate for internal use.
