Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: getlines() already returns an empty list on OSError. Clearing the cache on MemoryError will help to avoid other MemoryErrors. And after this there is a large chance the repeated reading will be successful. In any case it wouldn't make worse.
If don't change linecache, then we should patch all places where linecache is used: traceback, idlelib, warnings, trace, debugger, etc. I intentionally made the fix at the low level, so it fixes all issues in one place. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23838> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
