To be thorough I tested the reaction to typing [Ctrl C] at the first
prompt. It then displayed the first part of traceback output,
<output part="1">
C:\Documents and Settings\Alf> sum.v4.py
This program computes the sum of two numbers A and B.
Number A, please: Traceback (most recent call last):
</output>
and seemingly hung for, I don't know, 20 seconds?, whereupon Microsoft's
"Please tell Bill Gates about it" box popped up; the interpreter had
crashed.
Regretfully declining the offer to tell Bill Gates, and this I don't
quite understand, possibly buffer thing?, one more line of output then
appeared:
<output part="2">
File "C:\Documents and Settings\Alf\sum.v4.py", line 13, in <module>
C:\Documents and Settings\Alf> _
</output>
In a normal traceback there are four more lines.
I thought I'd report this so I tried it several times more but unable to
reproduce: instead of above hang + crash + truncated traceback the
complete expected traceback appeared and the program terminated properly.
Can anyone reproduce?
I also have Python 3.1.1 on Windows XP Professional, but it doesn't
crash for me!
Does it happen every time?
