Package: python2.7 Version: 2.7.13-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
Pytorch (https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch) is an application that is written in python, C and C++. There's high interoperalibity between code written in these languages therex. The issue is that there are cases when an exception is thrown by C++ code that subsequentely calls some C code before being caught. In ppc64le builds, without the -fexceptions gcc flag, such exceptions are not caught when the execution returns to C++ code from C code. This makes some Pytorch tests fail. Compiling CPython with -fexceptions seems to solve this issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: ppc64el (ppc64le) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-powerpc64le (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages python2.7 depends on: ii libpython2.7-stdlib 2.7.13-2 ii mime-support 3.60 ii python2.7-minimal 2.7.13-2 python2.7 recommends no packages.
