Rebase range iterator `reduce` to match CPython by devyubin · Pull Request #8424 · RustPython/RustPython · GitHub

Closes range_iterator.__reduce__ uses original range + index state instead of rebased range + None #8377
This PR follows our AI policy

Summary

range_iterator.__reduce__ (and longrange_iterator.__reduce__) returned the original range plus the current index as the pickle state, whereas CPython returns the remaining range rebased to the current position with a None state. The round-trip result was already correct on both (RustPython restored the index via __setstate__), so this is a representational / cross-compatibility divergence, not data loss.

it = iter(range(10)); next(it); next(it); next(it)
it.__reduce__()
# before: (<built-in function iter>, (range(0, 10),), 3)
# after:  (<built-in function iter>, (range(3, 10),), None)   # matches CPython

Cause

range_iter_reduce embedded the full original range and passed index as the third tuple element. Both PyRangeIterator::__reduce__ and PyLongRangeIterator::__reduce__ go through it.

Fix

Rebase the range start by index * step and emit None for the state. The index is clamped to the length first, because RustPython's iterator increments the index unconditionally, so it can run past the length after exhaustion (unlike CPython, which stops at the length). __setstate__ is left intact, so pickles that carry an integer state still load.

Test

Verified against CPython 3.14.6 — __reduce__ output now matches for mid-iteration, fresh, reversed, exhausted (range(2, 2)), step > 1, empty, single-element, negative-step, longrange, and __setstate__-advanced iterators. pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(it)) round-trips correctly in all cases.

test_range: SUCCESS (29 run, 2 skipped — the two skips are a separate, pre-existing __setstate__ crash, unrelated to this change).
cargo build / cargo clippy -p rustpython-vm / cargo fmt --check: clean.

No @expectedFailure marker flips here: CPython's own test_range has no test asserting the __reduce__ shape, so this is a representational fix, covered for regressions by the existing pickle round-trip tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved range iterator state handling during serialization and reconstruction.
- Prevented iterator positions from exceeding the range length.
- Ensured reconstructed iterators resume correctly for forward and reversed ranges.

range_iterator.__reduce__ (and longrange_iterator) returned the original range plus the current index as pickle state; CPython returns the range rebased to the current position with a None state. Rebase start by index * step (clamped to the length) and emit None. __setstate__ is kept so pickles carrying an integer state still load. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-4-8

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

range_iter_reduce now serializes the remaining range from the current iterator position and uses None for pickle state. Tests cover forward and reversed iterators.

Changes

Range iterator reduction

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Rebase serialized range output crates/vm/src/builtins/range.rs, extra_tests/snippets/builtin_range.py	range_iter_reduce clamps the index, advances the serialized range start, and emits None instead of the raw index. Tests validate forward and reversed iterator reduction.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 193e3

This localized compatibility fix changes only how range iterators represent their remaining state during serialization, with round-trip behavior preserved and targeted edge cases covered; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add exhausted and consumed reversed iterator cases.

The current assertions cover unconsumed iterators only. They do not verify exhausted-iterator clamping or rebasing after consuming a reversed iterator. Add both cases.

Proposed test additions

 assert iter(range(3)).__reduce__()[1:] == ((range(0, 3),), None)
 assert reversed(range(3)).__reduce__()[1:] == ((range(2, -1, -1),), None)
+exhausted = iter(range(3))
+list(exhausted)
+assert exhausted.__reduce__()[1:] == ((range(3, 3),), None)
+
+reversed_it = reversed(range(3))
+next(reversed_it)
+assert reversed_it.__reduce__()[1:] == ((range(1, -1, -1),), None)
+list(reversed_it)
+assert reversed_it.__reduce__()[1:] == ((range(-1, -1, -1),), None)

As per coding guidelines, preserve the existing extra-test assertions, logic, and test data. This follows the PR objective to cover rebasing and exhausted-iterator clamping.
