New submission from Denis Laxalde <de...@laxalde.org>:
On my (Debian 10) system, 'pydoc -k' crashes as follows: $ python3 -m pydoc -k foo Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 197, in _run_module_as_main return _run_code(code, main_globals, None, File "/usr/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/pydoc.py", line 2862, in <module> cli() File "/usr/lib/python3.9/pydoc.py", line 2795, in cli apropos(val) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/pydoc.py", line 2287, in apropos ModuleScanner().run(callback, key, onerror=onerror) File "/usr/lib/python3.9/pydoc.py", line 2248, in run loader = spec.loader AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'loader' (The same happens with current 'main' of CPython.) The module that is tried to be loaded is 'ansible.galaxy.data', installed in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ and it uses a custom (Ansible) finder _AnsiblePathHookFinder. Maybe this finder has problems, but since Finder.find_module() may return None, I believe this should be handled by pydoc's ModuleScanner. If agreed, I'll prepare a fix accordingly. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 410388 nosy: dlax priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 'pydoc -k' crashes when some module's loader is not found type: crash versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46353> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
