[Pythonmac-SIG] Re: MacPython-OS9 2.3b1 - No OS9 or OS8.6 reports yet

[Richard Collins]

Hello Jack,

Some slightly different results: G4 desktop running 9.2.2, after having 
changed the RAM allocation for the IDE to 64001K (see below). These 
results are having booted into 9.2.2, not running classic.


200 tests OK.

Before changing the memory setting, I experienced some instability. 
Here is the end of the log


117 tests OK.
108 tests failed:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<input>", line 1, in ?

     from textwrap import fill
MemoryError

this also brought up a different window with a message like "no memory 
for new parser" appearing several times


the first two tests crashing with Memory error were:

test_pep277
test test_pep277 crashed -- exceptions.MemoryError:
test_pickle
test test_pickle crashed -- exceptions.MemoryError:


The nasty bit is that after changing the memory setting and repeating 
the tests, things got worse. the IDE crashed, and pretty hard, with a 
type 2 error.

After restarting and trying the tests again, there was another failure 
which brought up a traceback window, which I was not able to copy or 
save from, but I did get a screen dump. I tried a "post mortem", but 
this froze the machine.

After the next restart, I got the following stuff on starting the IDE, 
so I had to reinstall.

EOFError: EOF read where object expected


Hope this helps!

One other thing that may skew these results, is that after my first 
install, and investigating to see if the icons were still being 
positioned over each other, I ran the ConfigurePython script. It was 
only when I saw what it did that I realised, the installer has already 
done this. So some of the above trouble could have been caused by 
ConfigurePython being run twice ?

BTW, I'm not going to see my mail for a while after tonight.
