Summary

Extract only the two assignment helpers from #8954, adapted onto current main without removing its export protections or regression tests.

Finish argument conversion before taking the target mapping lock. Under the existing writable/validity guard, calculate bounds from the current backing slice and keep that same guard through all writes, including extended slices. Empty assignments also validate writability and mapping state.

This follows CPython 3.14.8's assignment ordering; .python-version is aligned to the approved 3.14.8 reference. Constructors, ownership APIs, buffer export checks, and resize behavior remain unchanged.

Validation

  • Independent source, lock/callback-safety, and final-diff review; normal hooks and native build.
  • Full existing mmap snippet plus focused regression passes on verified CPython 3.14.8 and patched native RustPython on Linux; 2 pytest cases.
  • Bounded callback cases close four-byte anonymous maps during key/value/slice-index conversion and assert ValueError. Invalid-byte precedence and empty writable/readonly/closed writes are covered.
  • Self-assignment and a memoryview RHS pass on the safe reference and patched native interpreter.
  • Two unchanged canonical extended-slice tests pass, covering contiguous/positive/negative-step assignments and reads.
  • Native checks run in fresh, timeout-supervised child processes; no old unsafe reference/baseline, invalid descriptor, resize, race or large-map probes.
  • Stdlib and separate C-API Clippy pass with warnings denied.

Scope limits

RustPython's existing RHS-buffer release timing and readonly-before-callback ordering differ from CPython and are outside this patch. This is not a complete mmap ownership/resize compatibility claim. The existing Windows resize regression remains unchanged and was not executed locally. Full workspace suites and non-Linux runtime checks were not run locally; hosted CI is pending.

Shared Python 3.14.8 prerequisite

This branch retains the identical #9063 prerequisite commits through 399e5b06, including TextIOWrapper chunk-size deletion behavior required by the 3.14.8 reference snippets. The mmap implementation and complete regression snippet are byte-for-byte unchanged; existing export/close/resize guards remain intact.

The combined head passed normal hooks, native build, stdlib and separate C-API Clippy, four exact reference/native mmap and IO pytest nodes, the bounded self-assignment probe, and two canonical extended-slice cases. Tests used the freshly built patched binary on Linux; no unsafe old-baseline, resize, or invalid-file-descriptor probes were run. Hosted CI remains pending.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved memory-mapped file assignment behavior when the mapping changes during value or index conversion.
    • Scalar and slice assignments now check the current mapping state, including for empty slices, and report errors consistently for closed, read-only, or out-of-range assignments.
    • Deleting TextIOWrapper._CHUNK_SIZE now consistently raises an AttributeError with a message identifying the attribute and object type.
  • Compatibility
    • ParamSpec now preserves supplied bound values instead of requiring them to be types.
  • Chores
    • Updated the project’s specified Python version from 3.14.7 to 3.14.8.

Canonical boundary-test alignment

The hosted canonical test exposed an omitted companion test update, not a runtime dispatch regression. CPython's matching 3.14 backport GH-158027 changes the boundary-assignment RHS from b'\0' to integer 0, preserving the IndexError assertion. The exact 3.14.8 source and mega already contain that line; this PR now includes it. Runtime source and storage/export guards are unchanged.

Tiny four-byte anonymous-map checks pass on the existing native candidate and official CPython 3.14.8: both direct __setitem__ and syntax raise IndexError for an out-of-range index with RHS 0, TypeError with a bytes RHS, and ValueError with RHS 256. The prior mmap snippet, self-assignment case, two canonical extended-slice methods, and four mmap/IO pytest cases also pass again. The full test_basic method was not rerun locally because it includes resize/file operations outside this bounded validation; hosted CI will verify the complete canonical method. Normal hooks passed. No runtime rebuild was needed for this one-line Python test-data synchronization.

Walkthrough

mmap scalar and slice assignments now validate and write within writable access. _CHUNK_SIZE deletion raises a type-specific AttributeError, and ParamSpec stores supplied bounds without type checking. The configured Python version changes from 3.14.7 to 3.14.8.

Changes

mmap assignment access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate and write assignments within writable access
crates/stdlib/src/mmap.rs, extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_mmap.py
Scalar assignment validates the index against the locked mapping’s length. Slice assignment computes indices, checks length, and performs writes within one writable access. Tests cover invalid indices, mapping state, and closure during argument conversion.

_CHUNK_SIZE deletion behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Handle _CHUNK_SIZE deletion
crates/vm/src/stdlib/_io.rs, extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_io.py
Deletion raises an AttributeError naming the attribute and wrapper type. The type name is limited to 100 UTF-8 bytes without splitting a character. Tests cover wrapper states and subclass names.

ParamSpec bound handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Store ParamSpec bounds as supplied
crates/vm/src/stdlib/typevar.rs, extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_typing.py
ParamSpec.slot_new stores the supplied bound value directly. Tests check that supplied objects are preserved.

Python version configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update configured Python version
.python-version
The configured Python version changes from 3.14.7 to 3.14.8.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f165f

The only retained concern is duplicated truncation logic that violates a repository guideline. This is a localized, low-risk cleanup; no runtime impact is established.

P2 Badge Update the library-upgrade workflow to 3.14.8

Changing the repository target here leaves .github/workflows/upgrade-pylib.md:55 pinned to PYTHON_VERSION: "v3.14.7", and line 71 clones that branch. Every manually dispatched library-upgrade run will therefore copy 3.14.7 sources even though the status and CI workflows now derive 3.14.8 from this file, producing stale upgrade PRs; update that workflow pin with the target bump.

Extract the backported bound-validation removal and align the CPython reference pin to 3.14.8 so both snippet interpreters exercise the same contract.

The 3.14.8 reference pin exposes the Argument Clinic deletion guard moved before initialization and attachment checks by CPython 90a1f02b7da0c356d10a23f1faee7dc063f887ed. Preserve assignment checks and align the exact deletion error, including subclass type names.

Deduplicate the type-name truncation logic.

The two paths repeat the same UTF-8 boundary walk with 100-byte and 200-byte limits. Extract a helper that accepts a type-name string and limit, then call it from both paths. Preserve the distinct slot_name() and name() sources.
