New submission from Robert Pierce: cPickle fails on large objects, throwing a SystemError exception which is cryptic.
The issue was fixed for pickle in python 3 back in 2011 (http://bugs.python.org/issue11564), but never addressed in 2.7. It seems to be a recurring complaint (e.g., http://bugs.python.org/issue11872), but always seems to be closed without being fixed or explained why it cannot be fixed. Test case from 2011 still fails: >>> import cPickle; cPickle.dumps('a' * (2 ** 31),-1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> SystemError: error return without exception set ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 273795 nosy: rob...@smithpierce.net priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: cPickle fails on large objects (still - 2011 and counting) type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue27880> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
