From 20254033b6844ad9501c91f995a1533dd2a8cdce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 13:31:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Speed up startup: defer heavy imports and cut redundant class setup work Optimize both import-time and runtime startup cost, which matters for applications (IPython, Jupyter, etc.) that import traitlets and build/ instantiate many HasTraits/Configurable/Application classes at startup. Import-time: traitlets and its core utils imported inspect (which pulls in ast, dis, tokenize, linecache), pathlib, and ast at module top level, and traitlets.config additionally imported logging.config (pulling logging.handlers, socket, pickle, dataclasses), pprint and json eagerly. All of these are only needed on cold paths (string parsing, filesystem Path/CRegExp traits, help/config-dump output, logging configuration at Application startup). Because the modules use `from __future__ import annotations`, annotations referring to these names are never evaluated at runtime, so the imports can be deferred to their actual (rare) use sites. inspect.isclass(x) is replaced with isinstance(x, type) and inspect.currentframe() with sys._getframe() to avoid needing inspect at all on the class-definition hot path. Runtime: - MetaHasDescriptors.setup_class already walks the full class namespace via getmembers(cls); it now returns that result so MetaHasTraits. setup_class can reuse it instead of doing a second dir()+getattr walk over every class. Same (name, value) pairs, identical semantics. - traits()/class_traits() normalize their metadata filters once instead of rebuilding a _SimpleTest wrapper for every trait on every call. Measured (Python 3.11): import traitlets ~28ms -> ~16ms, import traitlets.config ~47ms -> ~28ms, class definition ~118us -> ~96us/class, class_traits(config=True) ~7.5us -> ~4.2us/call. Full test suite (582 tests), mypy, and ruff all pass.

Three changes: 1. Memoize metadata-filtered class_traits()/traits() results per class. `config=True` filtering was the single largest startup cost (~25-30%), recomputed from scratch ~45x per startup (Application._classes_with_config_traits, KVArgParseConfigLoader._add_arguments, and each Configurable._load_config) for results that are static per class. class_traits/traits now delegate to a shared classmethod that caches the filtered dict per class and returns a .copy() (the existing "fresh dict" contract is preserved — the cached dict never escapes by reference). cls._traits is frozen after class creation, so the only staleness vector is a post-hoc metadata mutation via tag()/set_metadata(); those bump a module-level generation counter and stale cache entries are recomputed. Only constant (non-callable, hashable) filters are cached; callable predicates stay on the uncached path. class_traits(config=True): ~8.3us -> ~1.3us/call. 2. Skip the redundant re-validate pass in HasTraits.__init__. Constructor kwargs were validated twice: once via setattr in the fast loop, then again via _cross_validate + set_trait. The second pass is only needed for traits that actually have a cross-validator; for the common case with none it re-ran validate() on an already-validated value. Now guarded on the same condition _cross_validate itself uses, recording the coerced stored value for the notification. Instantiation with kwargs (no cross-validators): ~1.2-1.4x. 3. Configurable._load_config early-returns when no config applies to the instance, skipping traits(config=True) and an empty hold_trait_notifications() block for the many leaf Configurables that carry no matching config. Also removes a dead `section_names = self.section_names()` local that was computed (twice per instance) but never used. Measured on the synthetic app (Python 3.11): construct+initialize ~2196us -> ~1740us (~21%). Full test suite (583, incl. a new cache-invalidation regression test), mypy, and ruff all pass. Pickling, instance/subclass observers and validators, add_traits, and end-to-end Application config loading verified. Note for reviewers: the class_traits/traits cache is invalidated by tag() and set_metadata(), the supported post-construction metadata-mutation APIs. Mutating trait.metadata as a raw dict after the class has already been queried is not reflected until the next generation bump; this pattern is not used in traitlets and is vanishingly rare in practice, but is called out for awareness.
