Brett Cannon added the comment: And under 2.6 on OS X. I doubt this is a BSD thing but more of a recursion depth issue.
And I don't think there is anything to fix here. The recursion depth is a per-thread thing, and this test is blowing the C stack before the recursion depth is reached. If you drop the recursion limit lower the proper exception is raised (I had to drop mine down to 400 to trigger the exception). So this is not a Python issue, per-se, just a limitation of the C stack and how things are implemented. While we do everything we can to prevent crashes, this just can't be helped as the C stack is not under our control. Closing as invalid. ---------- nosy: +brett.cannon resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed title: recursive __getattr__ in thread crashes BSDs -> recursive __getattr__ in thread crashes versions: +Python 2.6 _____________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1430436> _____________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
