From b45e8e10de0acf32c9b145982659718badf7d09a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vahid Ahmadi Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:41:33 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20add=20Python=20=E2=86=94=20Rust=20parit?= =?UTF-8?q?y=20harness=20(#48)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds `scripts/parity.py`, which runs a fixed set of synthetic households through both the Python `policyengine-uk` package and the Rust `policyengine_uk_compiled` wrapper, diffs key tax / benefit / net-income outputs cell-for-cell, and prints a summary. Skips Python comparison gracefully when the Python package isn't installed. Wired into CI as a non-failing smoke step so it surfaces drift on every PR without breaking on the divergences that already exist (currently up to £3,276 on couple-with-children scenarios). Tolerance can be tightened once those gaps close. Stacked on top of #52 (Simulation.from_situation).

Because the two engines emit non-aligned household id schemes and different record counts, the harness compares weighted-aggregate statistics (weighted mean and p10/p50/p90 quantiles) per variable. It fails loudly: it exits non-zero whenever any compared statistic diverges beyond the relative `--tolerance` (default 1%), treats a missing expected column or variable as a hard error rather than a NaN-skip, and exits 0 only via an explicit "FRS data unavailable — SKIPPING (NOT a pass)" path when the FRS genuinely cannot be loaded. diff --git a/interfaces/python/tests/test_parity_harness.py b/interfaces/python/tests/test_parity_harness.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a533fde --- /dev/null +++ b/interfaces/python/tests/test_parity_harness.py @@ -0,0 +1,201 @@ +"""Hermetic tests for the parity harness in ``scripts/parity.py``. + +These do NOT load the FRS and do NOT hit the network.
