See 900092-patch.txt for a candidate patch against Python
2.4.1. Props to Justin Campbell for most of the heavily
lifting (but you can blame me for any problems ;).
This fix restore the tracing of a 'return' event for
exceptions that cause a function to exit.

Well, the superficial fix doesn't work (sorry for posting
too soon). It turns out that PyTrace_EXCEPTION is sent for
any exception, not just one causing the function to exit.
So I guess the best fix may be to have hotshot always
install its profiler_callback to handle CALLS and RETURNS,
and then optionally install the tracer_callback to handle
only LINEs. Anyway, that works for the one test case I've
been using (a runcall of a function which simply does
"import pickle").
By the way, I'm testing with 2.4b1.

I ran into this today, so I decided to look into it. It
looks to me like the problem only happens if you profile
with lineevents enabled. In that case, hotshot uses the
tracer_callback function (in _hotshot.c) to dispatch trace
events. This function explicitly ignores exception returns
(PyTrace_EXCEPTION), which can lead to an unbalanced stack
of calls/returns when the log is loaded (if an profiled
function exits with an exception).
It seems on the surface that tracer_callback ought to handle
exceptions the same way as normal returns. This would be
consistent with what happens when profiler_callback is used,
since PyEval_EvalFrame dispatches sends a Py_RETURN to
c_profilefunc when exiting because of an exception.

Could this be related to 1019882?

Hmm, the file was too big, even though it was compressed.
I've uploaded it to
http://home.student.uva.nl/johannes.gijsbers/roundup.prof.bz2
now.

While the original report isn't very useful, I've ran into
this problem multiple times as well. I can reproduce it
using the attached profile file (compressed because of the
large size) and the following console session:
Python 2.3.4 (#2, Jul 5 2004, 09:15:05)
[GCC 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import hotshot.stats
>>> stats = hotshot.stats.load('roundup.prof')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/hotshot/stats.py", line 12, in load
return StatsLoader(filename).load()
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/hotshot/stats.py", line 51, in load
assert not self._stack
AssertionError
>>>
I'm not sure who's baby hotshot really is, so I'm leaving
this unassigned.
