[issue12894] pydoc help(modules keyword) is failing when a module throws an exception at the import time
New submission from Christian S. Perone christian.per...@gmail.com: Pydoc is failing when running the ModuleScanner().run() when you execute: help(modules keyword) ... if some module throws an exception at the import time. See this example: help(modules convolve) Here is a list of matching modules. Enter any module name to get more help. numpy.numarray.convolve scipy.fftpack.convolve Traceback (most recent call last): File stdin, line 1, in module File C:\Python27\lib\site.py, line 467, in __call__ return pydoc.help(*args, **kwds) File C:\Python27\lib\pydoc.py, line 1727, in __call__ self.help(request) File C:\Python27\lib\pydoc.py, line 1768, in help self.listmodules(split(request)[1]) File C:\Python27\lib\pydoc.py, line 1873, in listmodules apropos(key) File C:\Python27\lib\pydoc.py, line 1975, in apropos ModuleScanner().run(callback, key) File C:\Python27\lib\pydoc.py, line 1938, in run for importer, modname, ispkg in pkgutil.walk_packages(onerror=onerror): File C:\Python27\lib\pkgutil.py, line 125, in walk_packages for item in walk_packages(path, name+'.', onerror): File C:\Python27\lib\pkgutil.py, line 125, in walk_packages for item in walk_packages(path, name+'.', onerror): File C:\Python27\lib\pkgutil.py, line 125, in walk_packages for item in walk_packages(path, name+'.', onerror): File C:\Python27\lib\pkgutil.py, line 125, in walk_packages for item in walk_packages(path, name+'.', onerror): File C:\Python27\lib\pkgutil.py, line 110, in walk_packages __import__(name) File C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\lib\pubsub\core\arg1\__init__.py, line 16, in module raise RuntimeError(msg) RuntimeError: Should not import this directly, used by pubsub.core if applicable After suppressing the exception by changing the apropos() method inside the pydoc.py: Line: ModuleScanner().run(callback, key) To: ModuleScanner().run(callback, key, onerror=lambda error: error) The problem is fixed, but I really don't know if this is the best way to suppress this and if we should suppress these exceptions, I think that as the intent of the help(modules keyword) is to find things with the keyword in the name, we shouldn't let the exception be propagated to the user. -- components: Library (Lib) messages: 143502 nosy: Christian.S..Perone priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pydoc help(modules keyword) is failing when a module throws an exception at the import time type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12894 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
