Hey Folks, using the recently released python 2.1.3 with version 20.3 of the Numeric package, we are getting this behavior: (tommy@mace)/u0/tommy$ python2 Python 2.1.3 (#1, Apr 22 2002, 16:14:11) [C] on irix6 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import ihooks ihooks.install() import Numeric Segmentation fault
this is happening on both irix and linux. I checked the release notes for Numeric 20.1 but didn't see any mention of import bugs being fixed. a little bit of investigation shows that it isn't even ihooks that causes this, it is any user-supplied __import__: blah.py: import __builtin__ class blah: def __init__( self ): self.real_importer = __builtin__.__import__ __builtin__.__import__ = self.my_import def my_import( self, name, globs={}, locs={}, fromlist=[] ): return self.real_importer( name, globs, locs, fromlist ) _blah = blah() 859:tpelle@parro > python2 Python 2.1.3 (#1, Apr 19 2002, 21:22:42) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)] on linux2 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import blah import Numeric Segmentation fault (core dumped)
anyone out there seen this before? any guess if its Numeric's problem or perhaps a bug deeper down in python's import architecture? any and all clues appreciated, thanks!
