New submission from Douglas Greiman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: When python is invoked with -v or -vv under Windows, the process of importing the codec for sys.stderr causes a message to be written to stderr, which in turn causes the codec to be recursively imported. Sometimes the stack overflow exception is swallowed, other times it is not. The bug depends on the particular locale settings of the Windows machine.
To reproduce: python_d.exe -v and look for many repeated imports of encodings.<some codec> Patch is attached. ---------- components: Interpreter Core files: py3k-win-codec-recursion-20080315.diff keywords: patch messages: 63570 nosy: dgreiman severity: normal status: open title: Patch for fatal stack overflow in Windows caused by -v type: crash versions: Python 3.0 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9678/py3k-win-codec-recursion-20080315.diff __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2297> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
