[New-bugs-announce] [issue11702] dir on return value of msilib.OpenDatabase() crashes python

[Mark Mc Mahon]

New submission from Mark Mc Mahon <mtnbikingmark at gmail.com>:

Running the following code:

>>> import msilib
>>> db  = msilib.OpenDatabase('c:/windows/installer/1c7a1.msi', 1)
>>> db
<_msi.Database object at 0x01E230A0>
>>> dir(db)

(Python crashes - tested on current Trunk and Python 2.7.1).

I tried tracking it through the C code - and it seems to be a problem when dir is checking for __dir__ (the pointer in PyObject_GetAttrString seems to be incorrect).
