New issue 1897: Regression in 2.3 that causes Pypy.exe to crash when PyFFI is run https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issue/1897/regression-in-23-that-causes-pypyexe-to
Xavier de Rauville: At some point between Pypy v2.2.1 and v2.3, a change was made to Pypy which is causing a program I use called PyFFI to crash when it is run. The problem is still present in Pypy v2.4 I am using Windows 8.1 if my OS is relevant to the problem. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Extract the contents of *PyFFI Toaster.7z* to anywhere on your PC. 2. Extract the contents of *Pypy root.7z* into the root directory of a Pypy 2.2.1 installation. 3. Open the *PyFFI Toaster* folder you extracted. 4. Edit *oblivion_optimize - pypy.bat* to point to the correct location of **Pypy.exe** and the **Scripts** folder that you extracted. 5. Run *oblivion_optimize - pypy.bat* (if you're using Windows. If you are using a different platform, you will need to create an equivalent script for your platform). Let it run for a few seconds to make sure it works then force close or wait for the process to finish. 6. Repeat the above for a Pypy v2.3 or later installation (you may need to delete the contents of *PyFFI Toaster/Out*). What should happen: Your PC's CPU becomes fully loaded, a log file appears in the *PyFFI Toaster* folder with a lot of text and files get placed in the Out folder. What happens with Pypy v2.3 - 2.4: Pypy.exe crashes, a log file appears in the *PyFFI Toaster* folder with an error and maybe a bit more text and you may see the message box shown in **PyFFI error.png** if you're using Windows. _______________________________________________ pypy-issue mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-issue
