Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: When I run this with 3.2.2 IDLE, from an edit window, I get an MSVC++ Runtime Library window: "Runtime Error! .../pythonw This application has requested termination in an unusual way...". When I close that, IDLE continues. So I would say that this is not a crash and not even a bug, but a particular choice of undefined behavior given infinite loop code. So we have no obligation to change it. I presume the change from 2.x is a side-effect of a change to improve something else.
def recurse(): recurse() recurse() does print "RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded" but only after printing a l o n g traceback. So for running from IDLE, I at least half prefer the immediate error box with no traceback. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy type: crash -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13644> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
