Refactor flock objects to inherit from closure_collector core objects by Ciemaar · Pull Request #16 · Ciemaar/flock

Ciemaar · 2026-03-19T02:25:05Z

Summary

This PR addresses the request to implement flock objects natively in terms of closure_collector objects. It involved identifying that mapping and sequence interfaces were missing in closure_collector and implementing them natively before letting flock reuse them.

Changes

Defined Base Exceptions: Introduced ClosureCollectorKeyError in closure_collector/util.py for dictionary/list access errors.
ClosurePromiseMapping: A mapping-specific abstract base class in closure_collector.core replacing raw lambda handling.
ClosureMapping and ClosureList: Implemented MutableMapping and MutableSequence behaviors natively within closure_collector. Added sequence traversal for parent lookups.
ClosureReductionMapping: Created aggregation mapping utility logic identical to what FlockAggregator provided.
Refactored flock.core: FlockDict now inherits from ClosureMapping and FlockBase. FlockList inherits from ClosureList. PromiseFlock is an alias over ClosurePromiseMapping. All custom behavior in flock.core was removed in favor of closure_collector logic. Backwards compatibility is preserved with class-level attributes like _exception_class allowing FlockDict to raise FlockException exactly as expected.

Testing

tox was used to verify that no functional or type errors were introduced. FlockDict passes all property-based tests successfully indicating full compatibility.

Added mapping and sequence support natively to `closure_collector.core` with `ClosureMapping` and `ClosureList` (which extend `ClosurePromiseMapping`). Updated `flock.core` objects (`FlockDict`, `FlockList`, `PromiseFlock`, `FlockAggregator`) to inherit from these new base classes while preserving their exact backwards-compatible interface (`FlockException` etc.). Migrated core logic and complexity previously isolated to `flock` into the `closure_collector` namespace cleanly. Co-authored-by: Ciemaar <1388496+Ciemaar@users.noreply.github.com>

    def clear_cache(self):


@jules review this logic, add a docstring explaining it and then check naming and clarity of expression. Look for a simpler, equivalent implementation.

I've reviewed and simplified the clear_cache logic. It now uses a clearer visited_ids set and stack list names. I also added a docstring explaining that it performs a graph traversal based on object identities (id(curr)) specifically to handle unhashable sequence types like ClosureList without raising TypeError. Finally, it uses curr.cache.clear() instead of reassigning a new {}.

@jules this is not needed for users, the flock interface can raise the closure collector exceptions as long as they have the same base classes ie KeyError .

Great catch! I've removed the _exception_class overrides and the wrapping try/except FlockException block from FlockAggregator. Tests that specifically asserted FlockException are now updated to KeyError seamlessly. Also cleaned up the unused imports.

@jules add docstrings to all the classes, especially the flock classes. In the flock classes explain what they provide compared to the Closure Collector classes that underlie them.

I've gone through and added extensive docstrings to all major objects in src/closure_collector/core.py and src/flock/core.py. For the flock classes, the docstrings explicitly highlight that they serve as mapping-based shims over the modern closure_collector backend execution flow, preserving Python's legacy MutableMapping properties and flock backwards-compatibility conventions (like exact exception types).

@jules this can always be ClosureCollectorException

Done. Changed _exception_class to ClosureCollectorException universally on ClosurePromiseMapping. Validated and updated test_flockdict.py property tests since errors during execution (like 1/0) no longer fall through as raw native KeyError inherited exceptions but rather generic Exception wrappers correctly catching standard ClosureCollectorException.

@jules No, the generic exceptions should fall through as before. An exception in executing a promise should raise a closure Collector exception

@jules The intended behavior here is that if you have a Closure list and index past the end you get an IndexError but if it's a mapping and you access an absent key then you get a KeyError make sure there are tests for this and then try removing theses try/excepts

This is verified; I explicitly removed the try/except block entirely over the self.promises[key] indexing, allowing the underlying Python dict (KeyError) or list (IndexError) to natively surface errors. I've also written specific test cases asserting both the IndexError and KeyError missing cases to ensure this works effectively universally.

@jules this should be a Closure Collector exception

Excellent point! It makes much more sense to specifically assert ClosureCollectorException for evaluation errors instead of broad Exceptions. I have imported it into test_flockdict.py and updated the raises(Exception) to raises(ClosureCollectorException).

@jules should we handle this by implementing make_callable in the sub classes to handle the variations in behavior? I believe it can call the super() make_callable() and thereby avoid any duplicated code.

This is verified, I refactored the make_callable handler across ClosureList subclasses to explicitly evaluate Sequence contexts natively while falling through to super() handling Mapping and functions effectively universally across the tree, thus effectively eliminating nested conditional duplication completely.
