Hi all,
I find that I semi-frequently get the cryptic message
import site failed; use -v for traceback
printed on standard error when an arbitrary python script receives
SIGINT while the python interpreter
is still firing up. If I use -v for traceback I get something along
the lines of
'import site' failed; traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site.py", line 61, in ?
import os
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/os.py", line 683, in ?
import copy_reg as _copy_reg
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/copy_reg.py", line 5, in ?
"""
KeyboardInterrupt
Is this a bug? I couldn't find any code, but I imagine something like
try:
import site
except:
sys.stderr.write("import site failed; use -v for traceback\n")
which should surely allow a KeyboardInterrupt exception through?
Regards,
Geoff Bache
