Summary

Match CPython 3.15's non-Clinic text-signature fallback for 48 module functions in one batch, and restore breakpoint(*args, **kws)'s keyword-collector name.

CPython's signature_from_flags exposes ($self, /) or ($self, object, /) when a METH_NOARGS/METH_O function has no internal Clinic signature. These still bind their module, not an instance. Applying that fallback to all functions would incorrectly replace real Clinic names such as len(obj, /).

Add explicit #[pyfunction(legacy_signature)], evaluated at compile time and restricted to zero/one required positional-only arguments with known matching display/binding arity.
Apply it to 43 Rust declarations covering 48 exported paths, including the six CJK codec modules.
Leave module ownership, dispatch flags, argument conversion, and implementations unchanged.
Use a move-only FuncArgs adapter for breakpoint's displayed collector name, retaining its binding metadata and original conversion.
Test raw strings, __self__ module binding, inspected signatures, Clinic controls, and breakpoint forwarding. Do not derive signatures from public docstring prose.

Independent of #9756; based on main b66534d.

Validation

CPython 3.15.1 and clean-release RustPython both pass the complete builtin_signature.py snippet.
Workspace tests, CAPI tests, workspace/CAPI strict Clippy, and normal commit hooks pass.
The same 16,227 observed API paths have exactly 49 changed raw observations, all raw_difference → exact_raw_match; no added/removed paths or other observation changes. Raw differences 173 → 124, inspected mismatches 26 → 25. This is the scanner's selected API inventory, not a claim of total platform parity.
test_builtin test_time test_codecs test_ast test_ctypes test_uuid test_inspect: 1,554 tests, 179 skipped, all seven files pass.
test_stat cannot create an AF_UNIX socket (PermissionError: Operation not permitted), and test_socket panics inside dns-lookup on this environment. The unmodified main binary reproduces both failures. These tests are not claimed as passing; permitting the requested test execution did not lift the underlying socket restriction.

The pytest wrapper is not installed and was not run. Its installation was previously denied, so no retry was attempted; direct snippet execution is used instead.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added an option for displaying CPython-style signatures on supported functions, including $self signatures for select built-ins.
- Updated signatures across several standard-library functions to reflect their argument flags.
Bug Fixes
- breakpoint now displays Clinic-style *args and **kws collectors and forwards keyword arguments correctly, including keywords matching collector names.
Documentation
- Documented the signature display option and its supported argument forms.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Walkthrough

The change adds compile-time signature reconstruction from argument flags and connects it to PyO3 function metadata. Selected standard-library functions use the option, and breakpoint exposes Clinic-style variadic names while forwarding arguments to its hook.

Changes: Builtin signature display

Layer / File(s) Summary

Signature reconstruction and validation
crates/vm/src/function/signature.rs, crates/vm/src/function/mod.rs Adds and exports signature_from_flags. It supports zero or one required positional-only argument and rejects unsupported argument or binding shapes. Tests cover supported and rejected signatures.

PyO3 metadata and built-in adoption
crates/derive-impl/src/*, crates/derive/src/lib.rs, crates/stdlib/src/{cjkcodecs,socket,socket_wasm,uuid}.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/*, crates/stdlib/src/time.rs, crates/stdlib/src/socket.rs, crates/stdlib/src/socket_wasm.rs, crates/stdlib/src/uuid.rs, crates/vm/src/stdlib/builtins.rs, extra_tests/snippets/builtin_signature.py Adds signature_from_flags metadata parsing and uses flag-based documentation when enabled for functions and aliases. Selected built-ins opt in. breakpoint uses an argument wrapper that exposes args and kws and reuses FuncArgs binding and conversion. Tests check signatures and keyword forwarding. The documented and tested changes concern displayed signatures and argument names; function implementations remain unchanged except for the breakpoint wrapper.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

RustPython/RustPython#6839: The PR updates built-in signatures and adds CPython 3.15 signature regression coverage, which aligns with this issue’s standard-library and test updates.

Possibly related PRs

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 946b6

The change only affects how built-in function signatures are displayed and how breakpoint's keyword collector is named. No actionable merge-blocking risk is identified.

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 29 functions across 17 files.

Resolution

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

187-203: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Low value

Document the Flatten(None) panic in flags_positional_count.

The ParamKind::Flatten doc comment says None contributes nothing to display signatures. In flags_positional_count, Flatten(None) falls to the _ arm and panics. This is correct for binding metadata, because None there delegates to a custom parser. It is also correct for the rejection test. The display call at Line 168 passes params, not the whole SigArg, so a display-side Flatten(None) also panics. This makes the doc comment misleading for this function.

Add a short // comment above the match arm. State that unknown flatten metadata is rejected for both display and binding.
