From 59739e6d447c7dc4c8a2c9fa4ad0644804b35c02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jeong, YunWon" Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2026 18:14:54 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rewrite finalize_modules with phased algorithm Replace the absence of module finalization during interpreter shutdown with a 5-phase algorithm matching pylifecycle.c finalize_modules(): 1. Set special sys attributes to None, restore stdio 2. Set all sys.modules values to None, collect module dicts 3. Clear sys.modules dict 4. Clear module dicts in reverse import order (2-pass _PyModule_ClearDict) 5. Clear sys and builtins dicts last This ensures __del__ methods are called during shutdown and modules are cleaned up in reverse import order without hardcoded module names. --- .cspell.dict/cpython.txt | 1 + Lib/test/test_builtin.py | 2 - Lib/test/test_sys.py | 1 - crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs | 4 + crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs | 164 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/.cspell.dict/cpython.txt b/.cspell.dict/cpython.txt index 0e5d1cce2d9..c70e46cb207 100644 --- a/.cspell.dict/cpython.txt +++ b/.cspell.dict/cpython.txt @@ -137,6 +137,7 @@ pybuilddir pycore pydecimal Pyfunc +pylifecycle pymain pyrepl PYTHONTRACEMALLOC diff --git a/Lib/test/test_builtin.py b/Lib/test/test_builtin.py index cbba54a3bf9..1e1114b4a31 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_builtin.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_builtin.py @@ -2330,8 +2330,6 @@ def test_baddecorator(self): class ShutdownTest(unittest.TestCase): - # TODO: RUSTPYTHON - @unittest.expectedFailure def test_cleanup(self): # Issue #19255: builtins are still available at shutdown code = """if 1: diff --git a/Lib/test/test_sys.py b/Lib/test/test_sys.py index 47039aa5114..00c2a9b937b 100644 --- a/Lib/test/test_sys.py +++ b/Lib/test/test_sys.py @@ -1172,7 +1172,6 @@ def test_is_gil_enabled(self): else: self.assertTrue(sys._is_gil_enabled()) - @unittest.expectedFailure # TODO: RUSTPYTHON; AtExit.__del__ is not invoked because module destruction is missing. def test_is_finalizing(self): self.assertIs(sys.is_finalizing(), False) # Don't use the atexit module because _Py_Finalizing is only set diff --git a/crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs b/crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs index 7517f03722e..9fcc11d7f42 100644 --- a/crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs +++ b/crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs @@ -391,6 +391,7 @@ impl Interpreter { /// 1.
