Category: Python Interpreter Core Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Adam Olsen (rhamphoryncus) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Reading /dev/zero causes SystemError Initial Comment: $ python -c 'open("/dev/zero").read()' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? SystemError: ../Objects/stringobject.c:3316: bad argument to internal function Compare with this two variants: $ python -c 'open("/dev/zero").read(2**31-1)' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? MemoryError $ python -c 'open("/dev/zero").read(2**31)' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int The unsized read should produce either MemoryError or OverflowError instead of SystemError. Tested with Python 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1174606&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
