Summary: eat 100% CPU when "Force full reparse" 

Initial Comment:
it seems to come into a infinite loop, and I can't do
anything but Ctrl+C to end emacs and all my datas were
lost.
It ocurred every time I type M-/ for code completion.
my emacs is 23.0.0.1, checkout from the branch
unicode-2 on April, 2, 2005

I am having the same problem.  

It started happening around the time my box was upgraded to
the new Debian stable release, Sarge.  

I am using version 4.75 of python-mode.  

The problem manifests seemingly randomly for me.  It seems
to happen more with short python files.  I can not think of
a long or old (pre-upgrade to sarge) python file where I've
had this problem.  

I am not using M-/ (code completion).  The problem may
manifest when I hit return to go to a new line or when I hit
backspace to unindent out of a block that I've just ended.  

I am using gnu emacs version 21.4.1

I am forced to kill <pid> from a different terminal to close
my emacs, since I run it in the foreground of a terminal.

Any suggestions for how to fix this problem would be greatly
appreciated.  It makes it nearly impossible to use
python-mode when at any time emacs can freeze and loose all
of my work (since my last save.)  I'm sorry I have not been
able to reproduce the problem consistently yet.  If that is
helpful I will attempt to do so.

Best regards,
Todd DeLuca

P.S. some diagnostic info (a repeat of what was mentioned
above):
$ emacs --version 
GNU Emacs 21.4.1

from top command:
3440 td23      14   0 19336  18m 2900 R 99.9  0.5  16:05.32

M-: py-version RET
"$Revision 4.63 $"
I downloaded it from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/python-mode, whose version
was tagged as 1.0alpha
Where can I get the version 4.75?

I've tried write codes as you said:
a.foo = 12
a.  M-/ repeatly
First: "py"
Seconed: Force full parse and the problem occurred.

Hmmm...  It's been years and years since Python-mode 1.0alpha was
released, so I suspect you're looking in the wrong place for the version.  
We are currently at 4.75.  You can get the current python-mode version
by typing

    M-: py-version RET

When I hit M-/ at the place you indicated, it completes with "c12".
I have no idea why it chooses that completion, but it doesn't hang.
It's not obvious to me what it should expand in this context.  Did
you have something in mind?  If I change the code to

    ...
    a = A('abc')
    a.foo = 12
    a.

when I hit M-/ it properly expands to "a.foo" for me.

Please try upgrading your python-mode.

When I'm editing C source files in cc-mode, the problem
doesn't occur

OK, here's an example:
#!/usr/bin/python
class A:
        def __init__(self, name):
                 self.name = name

if __name__ == '__main__':
        a = A('abc')
        a.<------------- M-/ here, the bug can be reproduced

the python-mode is 1.0alpha

Can you provide an example Python file where this happens?  Given that
M-/ runs dabbrev-expand, I'm skeptical this has anything to do with
python-mode.

What version of python-mode.el are you using?
