Python Standard Library: Tracking Progress

[inumanag]

This meta-issue will be used to track and prioritize all requests for implementing parts of Python's extensive standard library:

Missing methods

• sys.argv (PyError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'argv' #184)
• str.format (String format not supported #209)
• re compatibility with Python (re.compile() cannot identify operator "(?<"  #254)
• Int.sqrt and UInt.sqrt (sqrt of Int and UInt types #459)

Missing modules

• bytearray (error: name 'bytearray' is not defined #177)
• socket (Websocket library compilable by codon #200)
• threading (from threading import Thread gives Error #430)
• struct (Llama running in Codon. Needed Codon file/struct support. #490)
• frozenset (frozen sets #494)
• csv (random.codon:263:13-16: error: name 'INF' is not defined #497)
• typing (from typing import Self not supported #507)
• os (cannot import name “path” from “os.__init__” #572,os.environ.setdefault does not work #583)

Missing major ecosystem packages

• PyTorch (Add native PyTorch support #349)

Can't wait for next release :)

It would be nice to plan for supporting the requests module in codon

I know that it is not native module but it is a widely adopted package (probably more than the socket itself !) and it can be slow even compared to other non-parallel implementations.
