New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org>:
I replaced dozens of Py_FatalError() calls with better error reporting, but there are still many places calling Py_FatalError(). The problem of Py_FatalError() is when Python is embedded into an application: Python must not kill the whole process. Well, even in the "regular" Python (/usr/bin/python3), Python should not exit immediately on an error. For example, the readline module calls Py_FatalError() on memory allocation failure, whereas PyErr_NoMemory() could be used: PyErr_NoMemory() should work since it should not allocate memory. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 355651 nosy: vstinner priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Replace Py_FatalError() with regular Python exceptions versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38631> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
