Python 2.6 on AMD64 recusion crash
by Mark Hammond Aug. 23, 2008

Aug. 23, 2008

While looking at 2.6 for Windows, I've found a recursion related crash in test_cpickle on 64bit builds. Specifically, the 'cPickleDeepRecursive' is causing a stack overflow, and the debugger tells me the actual recursion depth was 629 at the crash. The reason the 64bit build doesn't see more crashes is apparently due to another regression in 2.6 - http://bugs.python.org/issue3373. It appears that in some cases, the recursion counter is actually incremented *twice* for each entry, thereby … [View More]

IDLE croaks on both beta3s?
by Terry Reedy Aug. 22, 2008

Aug. 22, 2008

Marks Summerfield and Dickenson report 2.6/3.0 b3 will not run IDLE http://bugs.python.org/issue3628 because idlelib/run.py needs s/set_daemon(True)/daemon = True/ Assuming they are correct and this is general: 1. Is not there any test to make sure that IDLE basically runs? For instance by having it run a file that writes a test file? 2. If the Windows installers have not been made yet (they are not on Python.org yet), could they incorporate the needed change? For me, this is a show … [View More]

2.6 on Windows
by Barry Warsaw Aug. 21, 2008

Aug. 21, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Can anybody verify and hopefully fix the problems seen in the Windows bots for the trunk (i.e. 2.6)? http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/stable/ 3.0 doesn't look too bad, and I'm going to release beta 3 anyway, but I hope we can get the 2.6 Windows buildbots looking green after the beta. These will definitely block the release candidates. Thanks, - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) … [View More]
