Summary

CPython runs the string argument of every numeric constructor through
_PyUnicode_TransformDecimalAndSpaceToASCII before parsing, so digits from any
script — and any Unicode whitespace — are accepted:

>>> int("١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠")
1234567890
>>> int("१२३४५६७८९०1234567890")
12345678901234567890

Changes

  • Add rustpython_common::str::transform_decimal_and_space_to_ascii, a port of CPython's transform. Unicode decimal digits fold to ASCII, Unicode whitespace folds to a plain space, and ASCII input is returned borrowed without allocating. Any other non-ASCII character can never appear in a numeric literal, so it is replaced with ? and the rest of the string is dropped — ? is rejected by every parser at every base, which leaves the error message to the caller that knows the base and owns the original string.
  • Add protocol::numeric_literal_from_str, the shared trim + transform step, and route int() (both try_int_radix and try_int), float() and complex() through it. This is the only step the three constructors share — only int takes a base, and only int and float accept bytes-like input — so each keeps its own entry point around it. Strings holding surrogates fold to an empty (and therefore invalid) literal, as before.
  • float()'s inline mapping is replaced by the shared helper; its previous version left non-digit non-ASCII characters in place, which the new one rejects up front.
  • Decimal() inherits the fix through its int() call in _pydecimal.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Numeric string parsing now recognizes Unicode decimal digits and whitespace, converting them to standard ASCII equivalents.
    • Integer, floating-point, and complex-number conversions consistently apply these normalization rules.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of unsupported characters and surrogate-containing strings, treating them as invalid numeric input.
    • Preserved efficient processing for already-ASCII numeric strings.

CPython runs a string argument through
_PyUnicode_TransformDecimalAndSpaceToASCII before parsing it, so decimal
digits from any script are accepted:

    int('١٢٣')          # 123
    int('0x١f', 16)     # 31
    Decimal('١٢٣')      # Decimal('123')
    complex('1+2j')    # (1+2j)

RustPython only did this for float(), which had the transform inlined.
int() handed the raw UTF-8 bytes to bytes_to_int(), whose digit check is
is_ascii_alphanumeric(), so every non-ASCII digit was rejected — even
though float() accepted the same string.

Lift the inlined transform out of float_from_string() into
common::str::transform_decimal_and_space_to_ascii() and apply it to the
str paths of int() and complex() too. The result is always ASCII: as in
CPython, a character that is neither ASCII, whitespace nor a decimal
digit becomes '?' and truncates the string, which no parser accepts at
any base, leaving the caller to raise the error from the original string.

Bytes-like input keeps going straight to the parser, matching CPython's
split between PyLong_FromUnicodeObject and PyLong_FromString.

This unmarks two expectedFailure tests: test_int.test_unicode and
test_decimal.test_unicode_digits.
All three constructors need the same thing from a str argument: trim it,
fold Unicode decimal digits and whitespace to ASCII, and give up on a
string holding surrogates. Each expressed that last part differently —
float matched PyKindStr and returned b"", complex leaned on to_str()
returning None, int returned an empty Cow — so the rule lived in three
places at once.

Move it into protocol::numeric_literal_from_str() and have all three call
it. CPython repeats this per type because its wrapper is three lines over
a single PyUnicode representation; ours has to match over Ascii/Utf8/Wtf8,
which is worth writing once.

Only the shared step moves. int keeps its base handling, int and float
keep accepting bytes-like input, complex keeps rejecting it, and each
keeps raising its own error, because none of that is shared.

No behavior change: the CPython differential suite is byte-identical
before and after.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared normalization for Unicode decimal digits and whitespace. int(), float(), and complex() string parsing now use numeric_literal_from_str.

Changes

Numeric string normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
ASCII transformation and tests
crates/common/src/str.rs
Adds transform_decimal_and_space_to_ascii. It preserves ASCII input, converts Unicode decimal digits and whitespace, and truncates unsupported characters. Tests cover these behaviors.
Numeric literal normalization
crates/vm/src/protocol/number.rs, crates/vm/src/protocol/mod.rs, crates/vm/src/builtins/int.rs
Adds and re-exports numeric_literal_from_str. Integer string parsing uses the normalized literal.
Builtin numeric parsing integration
crates/vm/src/builtins/complex.rs, crates/vm/src/builtins/float.rs, crates/vm/src/builtins/int.rs
complex(), float(), and integer radix parsing use numeric_literal_from_str for string inputs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e8cc1

The PR adds Unicode digit normalization, but its conversion table omits 180 valid decimal-digit code points, so int(), float(), and complex() would reject valid numeric strings from affected scripts. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merging.

858-860: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Regenerate UNICODE_DECIMAL_VALUES from the bundled UCD.

The bundled UCD defines 770 Nd code points, but the table contains only 590. It omits Kawi U+11F50..U+11F59, Nag Mundari U+1E4F0..U+1E4F9, and 160 other decimal digits. These digits become ?, so int(), float(), and complex() reject valid Unicode decimal strings. Add regression coverage for the missing ranges.
