> This hits fontforge. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595421 Copy of my comment 20: I looked one more time to the issue: * fontforge code is fine: it calls Py_Initialize() before using the Python C API to initialize its Python namespace (modules, functions, types, etc.), and later it calls Py_Main(). * Python 3.7.0 is wrong: it fails with a fatal erro when Py_Main() is called if Py_Initialize() has been called previously. It is a regression since it worked fine in Python 3.6. * My PR https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/8043 works again the simplest test: "fontforge -script hello.py" where hello.py is just "print('Hello World!')" * This PR is not enough according to Miro, since fontforge requires sys.argv to be set, whereas sys.argv is no longer set when Py_Main() is after Py_Initialize(): https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/8043#issuecomment-401731992 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34008> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
