[kdev-python] [Bug 438206] Fails to build against Python 3.10
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438206 --- Comment #13 from Sven Brauch --- Hi, I've drafted a possible way forward in the "python310" branch in the kdev-python repo. The AST is written to an XML stream from a tiny Python program and read using QXmlStreamReader in C++. So far, only Module, Assignment, Name and Constant AST nodes can be deserialized, so we can basically parse programs of the form "a = 3" and nothing else ;) But the whole structure is there, most of what's left is filling in all the 63 or so missing NodeReader<> template specializations for all the AST nodes, see https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdev-python/-/blob/python310/parser/astfromxml.cpp#L164 In addition, we need to deal with 1. error reporting (parse errors, plus invalid XML issues), and 2. running the ast-to-xml Python code in-process, that should make it reasonably fast. But I'm fairly certain that the most difficult step is done. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438206 --- Comment #12 from Sven Brauch --- Any help is certainly very welcome. I am not very active on IRC currently, but I definitely read and answer kdevelop-de...@kde.org. In principle, the task is simple: in parser/ast.h we have our own data structure for an AST, and that needs to be populated. The current way to do that is based on a... let's say, "creative" domain-specific language which describes how CPython's internal AST representation maps to ours from ast.h. C code is generated from this DSL file. You could just as well write that C code by hand -- it's not actually that much, a few hundred lines. This doesn't work any more, because CPython's representation is gone. There are certainly several different approaches to fix this, I think my suggestion above is the most straightforward one since it doesn't structurally change anything. Though, if one has to touch all this stuff *anyways*, it might be worth evaluating other parser libraries which support also e.g. proper incomplete parsing. I'd honestly opt for whatever the person doing it feels most comfortable with. I wouldn't discard approaches involving serializing/deserializing the AST (e.g. to/from XML) because of performance concerns; XML stream serialization/deserialization (i.e. if you avoid building a DOM) is extremely fast, and I'm pretty sure that the impact is negligible compared to the semantic analysis effort later on. The only thing I'd really try to avoid is spawning a process for each parse job. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438206 --- Comment #11 from Francis Herne --- To address the development comments: It's great that you're interested in contributing to kdev-python. As you can see it's kind of needed at the moment. Consider dropping by #kdevelop on Libera IRC if you want to discuss it (ping FLHerne [me] or scummos [Sven]). Tools/tests: There are quite a lot of unit/end-to-end tests. Run `ninja test` (or `make test`) after building kdev-python, or for more detailed output run the test binaries individually (e.g. build/parser/tests/pyasttest , build/duchain/tests/pyduchaintest ). parser/generated.h converts from CPython's AST structures to kdev-python's. It's generated based on parser/python39.sdef by the script conversionGenerator.py. The script pythonpythonparser.py spits out the AST as an XML representation, using the Python `ast` module API. In recent years it's been used only as a tool for debugging and development. I believe it was once used in kdevelop before it called into the C API instead, and could be resurrected as such to implement Sven's suggestion. I'm not a big fan of this idea, I suspect performance would suffer considerably. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438206 --- Comment #10 from Francis Herne --- My own thinking is that it's probably easier to fork (or, so far as possible, vendor in the most recent version of) CPython's parser code. The amount of code involved is relatively small - see https://github.com/python/typed_ast/tree/master/ast3 which is another fork. (in the past I'd considered changing kdev-python to use that typed-ast library instead of linking against the CPython parser, but it's now deprecated with the features added to CPython upstream). Sadly I haven't yet had time to work on this, but I hope to in a few weeks. Right now I'm busy buying and moving onto a houseboat... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Thanks a lot for sketching a possible route for implementing this! I would be more than willing to put some effort into this if I had the time. But maybe with some guidance it would still be possible to have some progress every now and then. The first part seem easy enough; write the code that reads a file with python code and loads it into the ast. You mention a few ways serialization can be done. Are there any examples of similar approaches already in the code base? Are there already places where de-serialization is done with one of the formats mentioned (or other formats for that matter)? Any pointers for tools/tests in the repo that can be useful for working with this would be much appreciated. Btw. would it make things easier if one used cython or mypyc to compile the python part to a c module? Again, if there is any way I could fund this work more or less directly, I would also be interested in hearing about that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Haaland --- Hei, I use kdevelop for python development in my day-to-day job. It seem now that kdev-python has stopped working on arch, which I am currently using. I might in any case like to change distros, but it seems inevitable that this particular python version change will become an issue down the road for other distros as well. Is there any way I could help out? If at all possible, I would really like to fund someone directly to work on this.
