Brett Cannon added the comment: OK, so I have attached a possible patch. I found out that tuple.__repr__ didn't do anything to prevent infinite recursion since you can't pull it off from Python code. But obviously C code is another matter. =)
Same goes for object.__str__; it didn't think about a type's tp_str doing something that could lead to an infinite recursion. Assigning back to Georg to make sure I am not doing something stupid nor that the approach is to broad by changing _PyObject_Str() and tuple.__repr__ instead of BaseException itself. I have not written tests yet as they are rather difficult to do for what the C code is doing without relying specifically on how exceptions do their __repr__/__str__. ---------- assignee: brett.cannon -> georg.brandl keywords: +patch status: open -> pending _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1686386> _____________________________________
