Summary
Extract the Python 3.15 final functools.partial vectorcall changes from #8954, including the required CALL_FUNCTION_EX dependency.
- Preserve keyword string-subclass objects through ordinary and instrumented
CALL_FUNCTION_EX calls.
- Merge partial keywords without eagerly normalizing their identities, and snapshot the wrapped function, arguments and keywords before Python hash/equality callbacks can replace partial state.
- Preserve placeholder handling and the existing fallback for wrapped callables without vectorcall.
No Lib/ files or existing tests are modified.
Validation
- Fresh narrow release build with threading, stdlib, stdio, importlib and host_env: passed.
- Nineteen unchanged canonical CPython v3.15.0 test cases, each run in a separate process with a 30-second / 1-GiB bound: passed, zero skips. These cover partial arguments/placeholders/subclasses/keyword errors, kwargs ordering, instrumented CALL_FUNCTION_EX, and one reentrant state replacement with one
gc.collect() call.
- Strict VM/stdlib all-target Clippy with compiler/threading/host_env and
-D warnings: passed.
- Configured hooks and
git diff --check: passed.
The first two-file extraction failed the unchanged test_str_subclass_error: the existing CALL_FUNCTION_EX path discarded the keyword subclass before partial saw it. The frame change fixes that missing prerequisite; the same assertion now passes.
Canonical tests were source-preserved in external bounded runners from CPython final d220409a13b77de7a6c30abe16ea90db01528edc. Full workspace/C-API suites, broad monitoring coverage, stress/concurrency probes and other platforms were not run locally; hosted CI remains required. The one reentrant test is not a general GC or concurrency safety claim.
AI-assisted implementation and validation with OpenAI Codex.
Review follow-up
- Registered
PyPartial::vectorcall directly with the existing #[pyslot] support instead of an extend_class hook.
- Replaced the incoming-keyword downcast panic in the non-vectorcall fallback with
TypeError. This is defensive handling; malformed raw vectorcall keyword names violate CPython's C-API caller contract.
- Fresh narrow release build passed; 10 unchanged final CPython methods passed for both native partial and a plain subclass (20 bounded invocations, zero skips). Separate bounded checks verified direct and state-installed nested subclass
__call__ overrides. Strict VM/stdlib all-target Clippy (-D warnings) and normal commit hooks passed.
Summary by CodeRabbit
- Bug Fixes
- Improved calls using unpacked positional and keyword arguments, including keyword names provided by string subclasses.
- Improved partial-function calls with placeholders and stored keyword arguments, while preserving compatibility with callables that use a different calling mechanism.
- Improved call-monitoring event details for calls made without positional arguments, so monitoring receives the appropriate missing-value indicator when no positional argument is present.
Sorry, something went wrong.

Retain keyword objects in CALL_FUNCTION_EX and snapshot partial state before Python callbacks. Match CPython 3.15 final partial keyword merging without changing Lib or tests.

📝 Walkthrough
-
Extended calls now collect positional arguments and keyword names separately and dispatch through vectorcall. PyPartial adds vectorcall handling, including placeholder filling and keyword merging. The dict-key hashing helper is available to other modules in the crate.
Changes: Call Dispatch
| Layer / File(s) |
Summary |
Extended-call argument collection and wiring crates/vm/src/frame.rs |
collect_ex_args returns positional values and keyword names separately. It requires keyword keys to be strings and preserves the original key objects. Both extended-call opcodes use this representation. |
Vectorcall execution and instrumentation crates/vm/src/frame.rs |
execute_call_ex invokes vectorcall with keyword names. Instrumented calls report the first positional argument, or the missing-value sentinel, and handle call and C return or raise events. |
PyPartial vectorcall and keyword merging crates/vm/src/builtins/dict.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/_functools.rs |
PyDict::hash_or_unhashable becomes crate-visible. PyPartial fills placeholders and merges stored and incoming keywords. It uses vectorcall when supported and retains a FuncArgs fallback. |
Priority: ⬇️ Low
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b6c25
-
The change preserves keyword string-subclass identity through extended calls and partial vectorcall, with the earlier non-string keyword panic fixed. No concrete merge-blocking risk is evidenced; hosted CI is still needed.

rather than doing this, add another macro support to naturally bind fn ventorcall to slots.vectorcall.
probably #[pyslot] fn vectorcall will be enough

Updated in b6c253d. vectorcall now uses #[pyslot] in the existing #[pyclass] impl; the macro already supports this binding, so no additional macro implementation was needed.

return a TypeError when a keyword name is not a PyStr, matching the validation

Use the existing slot macro instead of a class extension hook. Return TypeError for non-string incoming names in the non-vectorcall fallback rather than panicking.
