Antoine Pitrou added the comment: > As for the status code, it looks like a bash bug:
Your script gives different results here (on Ubuntu): $ ulimit -c 0 $ ./python dumpcore.py 6: False $ ulimit -c unlimited $ ./python dumpcore.py 6: False That's because Ubuntu overrides the core file pattern: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern |/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c If I ask for a regular core file, the script works: $ sudo sh -c "echo core.%p > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" $ ./python dumpcore.py 134: True Which means the test really threatens to be unreliable (other systems may install similar mechanisms by default). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18623> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
