New submission from Torim: If invoking pydoc either from a system shell or as a help() method in an interactive Python interpreter, it crashes with SIGSEGV signal at exit. It crashes only with larger documentation contents, smaller do work as expected.
Example with numpy module docs: 1. launch Python interactive interpreter with `python' 2. type `import numpy' 3. type `help(numpy)' # large help, displayed by PAGER environment variable or `more' if missing 4. press `q' to quit the help 5. SIGSEGV "Segmentation fault" received, python interpreter crashes Note: if you move in a documentation at the end (last line), you can then escape (quit) anywhere without a crash ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 193037 nosy: torim priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Pydoc crashes on large contents type: crash versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18447> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
