It's the first time in the three years I've been using python that a program crashes without a nice traceback to give me a clue of what might be wrong. After searching a little, it seems it's one of those hard to get down to cases, so I've no idea where to look for. Briefly what I do is, select some rows from one table, do some number crunching and insert or update rows in another table. The C extensions I'm using are numarray and MySQLdb (indirectly, through Sqlalchemy).
What makes the problem worse is that it's not deterministic; I can restart it from (a little before) the point of crash and it doesn't happen again at the same point, but it might happen further down. Now, I wouldn't mind restarting it manually every time since the crashes are not all that frequent; problem is, it's supposed to be a long-running process that will probably take days to finish normally, so I want it to run overnight too. Any hints ? Thanks, George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
