Seeing 10-50% speed ups in import time for common structures 🚀
The general purpose of this PR is to lazily import structures within
`langchain_core.XXX_module.__init__.py` so that we're not eagerly
importing expensive dependencies (`pydantic`, `requests`, etc).
Analysis of flamegraphs generated with `importtime` motivated these
changes. For example, the one below demonstrates that importing
`HumanMessage` accidentally triggered imports for `importlib.metadata`,
`requests`, etc.
There's still much more to do on this front, and we can start digging
into our own internal code for optimizations now that we're less
concerned about external imports.

## Local CodSpeed results
We're still working on configuring CodSpeed on CI. The local usage
produced similar results.
Looks like `pyupgrade` was already used here but missed some docs and
tests.
This helps to keep our docs looking professional and up to date.
Eventually, we should lint / format our inline docs.
This pull request includes various changes to the `langchain_core`
library, focusing on improving compatibility with different versions of
Pydantic. The primary change involves replacing checks for Pydantic
major versions with boolean flags, which simplifies the code and
improves readability.
This also solves ruff rule checks for
[RUF048](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/map-int-version-parsing/) and
[PLR2004](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/magic-value-comparison/).
Key changes include:

**Description**
Currently, when parsing a partial JSON, if a string ends with the escape
character, the whole key/value is removed. For example:
```
>>> from langchain_core.utils.json import parse_partial_json
>>> my_str = '{"foo": "bar", "baz": "qux\\'
>>>
>>> parse_partial_json(my_str)
{'foo': 'bar'}
```
My expectation (and with this fix) would be for `parse_partial_json()`
to return:
```
>>> from langchain_core.utils.json import parse_partial_json
>>>
>>> my_str = '{"foo": "bar", "baz": "qux\\'
>>> parse_partial_json(my_str)
{'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'qux'}
```
Notes:
1. It could be argued that current behavior is still desired.
2. I have experienced this issue when the streaming output from an LLM
and the chunk happens to end with `\\`
3. I haven't included tests. Will do if change is accepted.
4. This is specially troublesome when this function is used by
187131c55c/libs/core/langchain_core/output_parsers/transform.py (L111)
since what happens is that, for example, if the received sequence of
chunks are: `{"foo": "b` , `ar\\` :
Then, the result of calling `self.parse_result()` is:
```
{"foo": "b"}
```
and the second time:
```
{}
```

(Inspired by https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/26918)
We rely on some deprecated public functions in the hot path for tool
binding (`convert_pydantic_to_openai_function`,
`convert_python_function_to_openai_function`, and
`format_tool_to_openai_function`). My understanding is that what is
deprecated is not the functionality they implement, but use of them in
the public API -- we expect to continue to rely on them.
Here we update these functions to be private and not deprecated. We keep
the public, deprecated functions as simple wrappers that can be safely
deleted.
The `@deprecated` wrapper adds considerable latency due to its use of
the `inspect` module. This update speeds up `bind_tools` by a factor of
~100x:

Description:
Improved the `_parse_google_docstring` function in `langchain/core` to
support parsing multi-paragraph descriptions before the `Args:` section
while maintaining compliance with Google-style docstring guidelines.
This change ensures better handling of docstrings with detailed function
descriptions.

- [ ] **PR title**: "core: google docstring parsing fix"
- [x] **PR message**:
- **Description:** Added a solution for invalid parsing of google
docstring such as:
Args:
net_annual_income (float): The user's net annual income (in current year
dollars).
- **Issue:** Previous code would return arg = "net_annual_income
(float)" which would cause exception in

We have a test
[test_structured_few_shot_examples](ad4333ca03/libs/standard-tests/langchain_tests/integration_tests/chat_models.py (L546))
in standard integration tests that implements a version of tool-calling
few shot examples that works with ~all tested providers. The formulation
supported by ~all providers is: `human message, tool call, tool message,
AI reponse`.
Here we update
`langchain_core.utils.function_calling.tool_example_to_messages` to
support this formulation.
The `tool_example_to_messages` util is undocumented outside of our API
reference. IMO, if we are testing that this function works across all
providers, it can be helpful to feature it in our guides. The structured
few-shot examples we document at the moment require users to implement
this function and can be simplified.
Given the current erroring behavior, every time we've moved a kwarg from
model_kwargs and made it its own field that was a breaking change.
Updating this behavior to support the old instantiations /
serializations.
Assuming build_extra_kwargs was not something that itself is being used
externally and needs to be kept backwards compatible
This adds support for inject tool args that are arbitrary types when
used with pydantic 2.
We'll need to add similar logic on the v1 path, and potentially mirror
the config from the original model when we're doing the subset.
Ruff doesn't know about the python version in
`[tool.poetry.dependencies]`. It can get it from
`project.requires-python`.
Notes:
* poetry seems to have issues getting the python constraints from
`requires-python` and using `python` in per dependency constraints. So I
had to duplicate the info. I will open an issue on poetry.
* `inspect.isclass()` doesn't work correctly with `GenericAlias`
(`list[...]`, `dict[..., ...]`) on Python <3.11 so I added some `not
isinstance(type, GenericAlias)` checks:
Python 3.11
```pycon
>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.isclass(list)
True
>>> inspect.isclass(list[str])
False
```
Python 3.9
```pycon
>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.isclass(list)
True
>>> inspect.isclass(list[str])
True
```
