> When I manually trigger the code in typeobject.c:5827, I get a segfault; I'm surprised no test triggered that. I think this triggered one of Victor's guards, added to catch such sort of errors. In this case the function both raises an exception and returns a result. If not catch such sort of error, it can cause unexpected errors or very strange results during executing unrelated code, so crashing as early as possible is lesser evil. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25958> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
