New submission from Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk>: time.time() can return None, or sometimes NaN. If it can't get a "proper" value from the OS then I would expect it to throw an exception. The docs don't mention anything about error conditions.
This was originally reported to Ubuntu One and there has been discussion / attempts to reproduce (it affects several people and so wasn't an isolated case): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-control-panel/+bug/844435 The issue is that with the unexpected response from time.time(), a ValueError was caused later when converting the time: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/79283418/Traceback.txt Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntuone-control-panel/ubuntuone/controlpanel/web_client/libsoup.py", line 55, in _handler msg.status_code, msg.get_uri().to_string(False)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1120, in debug self._log(DEBUG, msg, args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1249, in _log record = self.makeRecord(self.name, level, fn, lno, msg, args, exc_info, func, extra) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 1223, in makeRecord rv = LogRecord(name, level, fn, lno, msg, args, exc_info, func) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 280, in __init__ self.msecs = (ct - long(ct)) * 1000 ValueError: cannot convert float NaN to integer ---------- assignee: haypo messages: 158608 nosy: haypo, michael.foord priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: time.time can return None or NaN _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14613> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
