This appears to be a long-standing problem in the standard linecache module. It doesn't handle packages correctly. In the updatecache function, line 82 does this:
basename = os.path.split(filename)[1] In my example, filename is 'logging/__init__.py', so basename becomes '__init__.py'. Later, updatecache iterates through sys.path joining basename to each entry, calls os.stat on the result to see if it is valid, and accepts the first valid file it finds. sys.path contains '.', so the first valid file is './__init__.py' -- obviously not the source file it was looking for. The attached patch checks for basename == '__init__.py' and uses the passed-in filename instead. For a package, that should give the relative path to the __init__.py file from a location is sys.path. ** Attachment added: "Proper handling of packages in linecache" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8483418/linecache.py.patch -- pydoc logging traceback https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70902 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
