tests/public_parameter_test.py read only a module's top-level functions and the direct methods of its top-level classes, and only their named parameters, so a _var function under an if, in a nested class or function, an async def, and a *args or **kwargs parameter went unread. The walk now visits every node with its dotted name, over FunctionDef and AsyncFunctionDef, reads vararg and kwarg, lists a name defined twice once per definition, and never lets a Public annotation hide an integer one under the same name.

No such definition is in the package, so the shapes are held in _CONTROL, both orders of an if/else redefinition and an @overload included. The prose says what the walk reads, an annotation naming int or Integer; aliases stay unresolved, as btclib's port narrowed them.

Local review dedicated reviewer: CHANGES REQUESTED on 27b4e86 (a redefinition hid the first definition, a regression on main's top-level walk; _CONTROL described twice) and on 508410f (the controls held one order only), then CLEARED 3d956a3

btclib's copy (tests/public_parameter_test.py at btclib-org/btclib 7a1be877) has the same redefinition gap; its port is filed separately.

Closes #483

…483)

tests/public_parameter_test.py read a module's top-level functions and
the direct methods of its top-level classes, and their named parameters
only. A `_var` function under an `if`, in a nested class or in a
function, an `async def`, and a `*args` or `**kwargs` parameter passed
unread. The walk visits every node with the dotted name of the functions
and classes that enclose it, over `FunctionDef` and `AsyncFunctionDef`,
and reads `vararg` and `kwarg`. It recurses through
`ast.iter_child_nodes` rather than calling `ast.walk`, which yields
nodes without their enclosing names.

The walk lists a name defined twice, as an overload or in the two
branches of an `if`, once per definition, and a `Public` parameter does
not hide an integer one under the same name. Keyed by name alone, the
last definition would hide the others: an `int` overload followed by a
`Public | bytes` implementation would read as nothing, where the
top-level walk on main reads the `int`.

No such definition is in the package, so the controls move to
`_CONTROL`, a source holding each shape the walk claims to reach, and
two it does not: a plain name and `_Position = int`, an alias under
another name. The walk matches the annotation's text, so such an alias
is not read. The module docstring's walk paragraph, the comment on
`_INTEGER` and CONTRIBUTING.md say what the walk reads, an annotation
naming `int` or `Integer`; aliases stay unresolved.

The file is PR btclib-org/btclib#2949's port with ecc's package path,
table and controls on ecc's own functions. btclib's copy can take it
back, the tree-specific lines aside, the redefinition fix included.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified which integer-annotated parameters are covered by the public-parameter checks.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage to include nested and conditional definitions, methods, async functions, variadic parameters, and overloads.
    • Added checks for annotations using unions and containers, and for parameters with duplicate names but differing annotations.
    • Included a control fixture in the checks.

The parameter census now recursively finds _var and _var_ functions, including nested and conditional definitions. It inspects all parameter kinds and checks matching annotations against Public requirements and documented exceptions.

Changes: Parameter census

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recursive function and parameter scan
tests/public_parameter_test.py, CONTRIBUTING.md
The test recursively collects _var functions and examines positional, keyword, and variadic parameters. It matches annotations containing int or Integer and includes a control fixture for nested, conditional, overloaded, and async definitions.
Package census validation
tests/public_parameter_test.py
Shared checks identify integer parameters without a Public annotation or recorded reason, and reasons that no longer match. Package checks and fixture tests use these checks.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Explanation

[#483] The recursive walk records dotted names for nested and async functions. It reads variadic parameters, and _CONTROL tests the requested shapes. However, _var_functions uses ast.iter_child_nodes, not the ast.walk API required by the issue.

Resolution

Use ast.walk with dotted qualified names as required by #483. Preserve the existing shape and duplicate-definition tests.

ACK 3d956a3

Not checked: the walk and test_the_walk_reaches_what_it_claims were not run, since no interpreter is at hand. Neither were the body's uv run --locked pytest -n 3, its mutant runs, or its claim that the old and new walks find the same parameters in the package. A grep of src/ecc agrees with that last claim: it finds no nested or async _var function and no *args or **kwargs in one.

 #2956) (#2958)

tests/public_parameter_test.py keyed each `_var` function by its dotted
name, so a second definition under that name replaced the first. On
main, `if C: def f_var(a: int)` with `else: def f_var(a: Public)` read
as `{'m.f_var.a': 'Public'}`, and an `int` overload followed by a
`Public | bytes` implementation read as nothing.

The walk now lists each definition with its name, and keeps the
annotation that is not `Public` where two share a parameter's name.
`_CONTROL` holds both orders of an `if`/`else` redefinition and an
`@overload`.

The file is ecc's tests/public_parameter_test.py at
btclib-org/ecc@01eff76b (PR btclib-org/ecc#486), byte for byte, except
the lines this tree keeps of its own: `_PACKAGE`, the empty
`_NOT_OPERANDS`, and the asserts on btclib's own `_var` functions, which
read the names from `dict(_FUNCTIONS)`. CONTRIBUTING.md takes ecc's
sentence on what the walk reads.
