change Python grpc client so wait loop happens in Python - #1857
Conversation
If we use the C++ wait_result() method, the GIL is locked and no other threads run.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe gRPC clients now wait through a shared Python polling loop. The loop handles terminal statuses, timeouts, negative values, and GIL-releasing sleeps. Tests verify polling, concurrency, GIL release, and live incumbent callbacks. Routing documentation hides Job wait polling
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Python-based polling should allow streams and other threads to progress during waits, but the current tests can fail nondeterministically or before validating that behavior, and short waits may exceed their requested timeout by up to one polling interval. These issues should be corrected before merge. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

The loop checks the deadline and then sleeps a full
poll_interval_s. If less than one interval remains, the timeout error arrives up to one second late and one extra status RPC is sent. ForClient.wait(job_id, timeout=1)this doubles the observed wait.♻️ Proposed change

Remove the scheduling race from this assertion.
get_status call 2 asserts that the worker thread already set progressed. The worker only has the 50 ms sleep window to start and run. On a loaded runner, thread startup can exceed 50 ms, and the test then fails inside the polling loop. Wait on the event instead, so the test proves progress without depending on scheduler latency.
♻️ Proposed change
if polls["n"] == 1:
started.set()
return JobStatus.PROCESSING
- assert progressed.is_set()
+ assert progressed.wait(timeout=2)
return JobStatus.COMPLETEDAs per path instructions: "ensure tests cover edge cases and are not timing-flaky".

Cython 3 cdef class immutable type monkeypatch class attribute subclass override def method
💡 Result:
Cython cdef classes (extension types) are designed for performance and memory efficiency by storing attributes in C structs rather than Python dictionaries, which fundamentally impacts their behavior regarding monkeypatching, attributes, and method overriding [1][2]. Monkeypatching and Class Attributes By default, cdef classes are "immutable" from the perspective of standard Python monkeypatching; you cannot add attributes to them or rebind their methods at runtime [1][3]. Because they lack a dict by default, attempting to assign new attributes to the class or its instances will generally raise a TypeError [1][4][3]. To enable monkeypatching or dynamic attributes, you must explicitly add a dict member to the cdef class definition [4][5]: cdef class MyClass: cdef dict dict Alternatively, if you need to replace the entire class type at runtime, define the cdef class with an internal name and assign it to a Python-accessible variable [6]: cdef class _MyClass: pass MyClass = _MyClass # You can now rebind 'MyClass' at runtime Method Overriding The ability to override methods depends on how they are declared: 1. cdef methods: These are C-level virtual functions, not Python methods. They cannot be overridden by Python def methods [7]. They can only be overridden by other cdef or cpdef methods in subclasses [8][7]. 2. cpdef methods: These create both a C-level virtual entry and a Python wrapper. They can be overridden by Python def methods in subclasses, though this introduces a small performance overhead compared to pure cdef methods [2][9]. 3. def methods: These are standard Python methods and can be overridden by subclasses using standard Python inheritance rules [8][9]. If you attempt to monkeypatch a method onto a cdef class at runtime (e.g., Class.method = new_method), it will fail with a TypeError unless you have enabled dict support or specifically designed the class to be a standard Python class wrapper [3][7]. Even with dict, cdef methods are often baked into the C-level virtual table and may not be easily replaceable via Python-space monkeypatching [7].

Override Client.status on a Python subclass. Client is a Cython cdef class; assigning status with monkeypatch.setattr can raise TypeError before wait runs. Instantiate a heap-type subclass and override status there.

If we use the C++ wait_result() method, the GIL is locked and no other threads run. Run the wait loop in Python and call only the Cython status method to determine if the job has completed.
