Summary of Changes

Hello @praneetnadella, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the "cloudpickle" serialization mechanism by introducing a new utility for generating deterministic identifiers for Python classes. This change aims to provide optionality for UUID determinism during the pickling process, which can be crucial for consistent serialization across different environments or runs. The "pickler" module's "dumps" function has been updated to facilitate passing configuration for this new deterministic behavior to "cloudpickle".

Highlights

• Deterministic ID Generation: A new helper function, "_generate_deterministic_id", has been introduced in "cloudpickle.py" to generate consistent, deterministic IDs for Python classes across different processes. This function handles various class attributes, including TypeVar objects, class metadata, dictionary contents, and source code location.
• Configurable Cloudpickle Dumps: The "dumps" function in "pickler.py" now accepts an optional "config" parameter. This parameter is passed directly to "cloudpickle_pickler.dumps", allowing for external configuration of cloudpickle's behavior, specifically enabling optional UUID determinism.
