Yes, including my previous example with repr() a = None for i in range(100000): a = {1: a} repr(a) This is a case where care has been taken for lists, tuples, but not dicts. If we want to fix repr, the recursion checking shoudl probably go into PyObject_repr(). I'm not advocating for a fix, Just pointing out yet another way you can construct objects so that accessnig them will cause a crash. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14507> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
