Implement PEP 814 frozendict by youknowdot · Pull Request #8951 · RustPython/RustPython · GitHub

This PR follows our AI policy

Summary

Implement the builtin frozendict from PEP 814, characterized against CPython 3.15.0rc2.

Own immutable dictionary storage directly, with shared dict views/iterators, cached order-independent hashing, subclass-aware construction and unions, copy/deepcopy, pickle, and GC support
Support frozen globals in eval/exec and frame/function APIs, preserving readonly function.__globals__ member layout; accept frozen type namespaces through a mutable class-namespace copy
Extend existing dictionary C-API reads and eval/frame APIs; reject writes without exposing mutable backing storage
Add 58 original Python regressions exercised by four Rust integration tests, and remove two now-passing dict expected-failure markers without changing their assertions

The C-API work follows this crate's abi3/abi3t scope. New non-limited CPython PyFrozenDict_* exports and type statics remain outside its current ABI architecture.

Validation

Workspace Rust tests: 1,349 passed, 18 ignored
C-API tests: 120 passed, 4 ignored
All 58 original regressions pass on RustPython and CPython 3.15.0rc2, with no skips
39 unchanged rc2 dict/view/copy tests: pass, with one upstream CPython-only skip; equivalent hashing assertions also run in the native suite
Release stdlib tests: 831 tests across dict, dictviews, copy, builtin, types, funcattrs, frame, generators, coroutines, and asyncgen; 43 existing skips
Full snippet run: 467 passed, 13 failed. Twelve failures are sandbox multiprocessing/filesystem restrictions also observed with host CPython; one needs the optional SQLite feature omitted by the default build
Workspace and C-API Clippy: clean; normal pre-commit hooks pass
The limited-stack deep-repr and nested-map stress crashes in unoptimized dev mode also reproduce on an exact clean base build; both pass in the feature's optimized test/release builds

AI-assisted with OpenAI Codex: implementation, regression tests, review, and local validation.

Add dictionary-owned frozen mapping storage, shared views and cached hashing, read-only execution globals, type namespace support, and stable dictionary C-API coverage. Add differential regressions against CPython 3.15rc2. Assisted-by: Codex:model-version-unavailable
