Hi,
I've been evaluating a suite of python code originally targeting CPython 2.5 to
see what needs to be fixed/changed to run under IronPython 2.6. I ran into a
problem in IronPython 2.6 where I redirect sys.stdout through a class object
that forwards output to the original sys.stdout. When control returns to the
python command prompt, an exception is displayed in an infinite loop.
If I redirect sys.stderr first (to the same object) before redirecting
sys.stdout, IronPython 2.6 shows two exception errors then abruptly exits.
Since this particular part of my python code runs fine under CPython 2.5, 2.6
and IronPython 2.0.3, I'm thinking it may be a bug in IronPython 2.6.
What follows is a reproduction case showing IronPython 2.6 exiting after two
exceptions. Note that the redirection is actually working and that the
exception occurs only when the python console prompt is displayed.
1. Create a file called testredirect.py with the following code:
import sys
class _StreamLog(object):
def __init__(self, ostream):
self.ostream = ostream
def write(self, *args):
self.ostream.write("{")
self.ostream.write(*args)
self.ostream.write("}")
def flush(self):
self.ostream.flush()
if not sys.stderr.__class__ == _StreamLog:
sys.stderr = _StreamLog(sys.stderr)
if not sys.stdout.__class__ == _StreamLog:
sys.stdout = _StreamLog(sys.stdout)
print >> sys.stderr, "Redirected stderr\n"
print >> sys.stdout, "Redirected stdout\n"
2. Open an IronPython 2.6 console and import the testredirect module. This
produces the following output:
C:\>ipy
IronPython 2.6 (2.6.10920.0) on .NET 2.0.50727.1433
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import testredirect
{Redirected stderr
}{
}{Redirected stdout
}{
}{>>> }{Traceback (most recent call last):
SystemError: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
}Unhandled exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
SystemError: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
4. Rerunning the above test with -X:ExceptionDetail enabled, I get the
following:
C:\ >ipy -X:ExceptionDetail
