[New-bugs-announce] [issue25781] infinite loop in reprlib

[Yury Selivanov]

New submission from Yury Selivanov:

The below code blocks Python eval loop and makes it unresponsive to signals (like ^C).

    import reprlib

    try:
        raise RuntimeError
    except RuntimeError as ex:
        ex.__context__ = ex
        reprlib.repr(ex)
