New submission from Michiel de Hoon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
PyMem_Malloc is called in the Util_ReadAhead function in bz2module.c.
The code checks if PyMem_Malloc returns NULL, but in that case no
MemoryError is raised. So, if in the following code:
>>> input = bz2.BZ2File("myfile.txt.bz2")
>>> for line in input:
... # do something with the line
Python runs out of memory during the for-loop, then the for-loop exits
without an Exception being raised. To the user, it appears that the end
of the myfile.txt.bz2 file was reached and that no error occurred.
In the attached patch, I call PyErr_NoMemory() if PyMem_Malloc fails.
This then raises the MemoryError exception as appropriate.
