here is an updated version that specifically checks if the destination specified by the --output flag is the same as the running interpreter, this matches the error i was having more closely and should hopefully not interfere with other users work flows of course i am assuming here that you are not relying on the pdb shell as a notification to copy the file over, if you do feel free to ignore this updated patch - Da_Blitz ------------------------------------------------------------- Double check to ensure we are not overwriting the current interpreter --- a/pypy/translator/goal/translate.py +++ b/pypy/translator/goal/translate.py @@ -285,6 +285,10 @@ elif drv.exe_name is None and '__name__' in targetspec_dic: drv.exe_name = targetspec_dic['__name__'] + '-%(backend)s' + # Double check to ensure we are not overwriting the current interpreter + if os.path.realpath(drv.exe_name) == sys.executable: + raise ValueError('File "' + drv.exe_name+ '" already exisits (--output)') + goals = translateconfig.goals try: drv.proceed(goals) _______________________________________________ pypy-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
