There's no substitute for a well placed print call :) strace _might_ give you some clues. At the very least, if you see excessive calls to select, you know the main loop is stepping quite a lot, which probably means you have a very low duration timer running. It might then be helpful to add some debug lines to kaa's nf_generic.py to see what timers are getting invoked and how often. You could also try disabling your KeyboardInterrupt handler and let it bubble up uncaught, and then hit ctrl-c when it starts sucking cpu and see if anything informative shows up in the traceback. > The next problem is that the HTMLParser is not as robust as with > Python-2.4 or Python-2.5.

In fact, doing diff on the two versions, the only change is with the unescape() method, and to me it looks like the 2.6 version is more feature-complete. Are you seeing tracebacks in unescape()? If not, the crashes might be caused by something else. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Freevo-devel mailing list Freevo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-devel
