New submission from STINNER Victor: The import_init() function calls Py_FatalError() at any error. This is not kind for Py_NewInterpreter() which calls import_init(): Py_NewInterpreter() exits Python with a fatal error, instead of returning NULL, on import_init() failure. The pyfailmalloc tool can be used to easily inject faults (memory allocation failure) to test this issue: see issue #18408.
import_init() should return an error instead of using Py_FatalError(). ---------- messages: 193377 nosy: brett.cannon, haypo, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: import_init() should not use Py_FatalError() but return an error type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18507> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
