RFC: Multi-Phase Module Initialization as per PEP 489

This PR implements multi-phase initialization in PyO3 as a drop-in replacement for single phase initialization. While it still needs some polish here and there, the implementation is mostly complete.

What's still left to do:

  • Figure out how to add submodules again - needs some kind of support for creating m_slots or perhaps an API around creating PyModuleDefs
    • This works now, thanks to a mechanism that makes it possible to (de-facto) statically allocate m_slots at runtime.
  • Reliably get a Py<PyModule> from a *mut ffi::PyModuleDef
    • Is this even possible? If not, we'll require some API breaking, I fear
  • Improve error handling - currently panics if calling the module setup function (#ident(#(#module_args),*) in proc macros) fails
  • Implement multi-phase initialization for PyModule::new_bound
    • I wonder if this is actually necessary, though.
  • Address remaining TODOs
  • Rephrase commit messages / perhaps split up commits
    • The messages could IMO be somewhat more detailed, elaborating on the reasoning behind certain changes / additions

Please let me know what you think! I'm grateful for any feedback! :)

Specifically, I'd be very happy to receive insight / comments on the TODOs I've added here and there.

epuertat added a commit to rhcs-dashboard/ceph that referenced this pull request Jun 7, 2024
The latest versions of pyO3 (a Python binding for Rust) explicitly added
a check to detect multiple imports. In subinterpreter environments, this
leads to an ImportError: "PyO3 modules may only be initialized once per
interpreter process" (it has been recenlty replaced with a more
specific: "PyO3 modules may only be initialized once per interpreter
process".

This is only a workaround while the root cause is fixed (see
PyO3/pyo3#4162).

This module contains `ModuleState`, a struct used to represent state
that lies on the per-module memory region of a Python module, as well
as various exported functions that are used to integrate `ModuleState`
with the Python interpreter.

This commit does not implement any further functionality (such as
actually representing any kind of state) and is instead more of a
blank slate for further additions.

These helpers and wrapper structs ensure that any slots and function
pointers used during multi-phase initialization stay allocated
throughout the remaining lifetime of the program.

This commit adds experimental but fully functional support for
multi-phase module initialization as specified in PEP 489.

Note that this commit serves as a demonstration & basis for further
improvements only; many tests have therefore not been adapted
correspondingly yet.

Upgraded this PR from a draft to an RFC. The description was also updated to reflect that.

Just curious, any progress getting this reviewed?

I'm planning to rebase this on main as soon as I got time; perhaps then someone's gonna have a look.

Yes, I had a lot to think about with freethreading and also our changes for IntoPyObject. I want to come back to this after releasing 0.23.

Sounds good! I've been quite busy myself, so it's all good; seems like the timing is just right.
