The following code produces a strange error ValueError: Cannot pickle code objects from closures in Sage 9.4. It does not happen at SageCell, and also disappears if I remove if set(v)&S condition. What's wrong?

def mytestproc(n,G,S):
    V = [v for v in G.vertices() if set(v)&S]
    return n*len(V)

def test(n):
  G = DiGraph()
  return sum( val for _,val in sage.parallel.multiprocessing_sage.parallel_iter(2, mytestproc, [((n,G,S),{}) for S in Subsets(1..n)]) )

test(2)

A difference with SageMathCell might be due to different Python versions; compare the output of import sys; print(sys.version).

Python version 3.9.5 here and there. So, it does not explain the different behavior.

You are right. Instead, the difference can be seen by running

import types
from copyreg import dispatch_table
reduce_code = dispatch_table[types.CodeType]
reduce_code??

On my local machine this shows sage.misc.fpickle.reduce_code, whereas on SageMathCell it shows ipykernel.codeutil.reduce_code (which does not include the check for objects from closures). Seems fishy.

The condition in the list comprehension is like a lambda, and it doesn't like that you want to capture S in it.

You can avoid lambdas that capture other objects by using partial from functools:

def mytestproc(n,G,S):
    def f(S, v):
        return set(v) & S
    from functools import partial
    V = list(filter(partial(f, S), G.vertices()))
    return n*len(V)

Why it does not like capturing S? And why SageCell does not have this issue?
