I don't believe this is a bug. You've discovered a nasty corner-case, but I think it's expected behaviour. There is a PEP open to make this behaviour a bit nicer: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0533/ The fact that older Python 3.5/6 versions don't get the infinite loop could be considered a bug, but this was fixed a while ago (bpo-25612), and it seems unlikely that this fix would be back-ported. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42762> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
