[Python-bugs-list] [Bug #116144] Python 2.0b1 hangs

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #116144, was updated on 2000-Oct-05 08:35
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Python
Category: None
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: Platform-specific
Priority: 3
Summary: Python 2.0b1  hangs

Details: Hi

My python program hangs after a while,  cannot even kill through ^C.  just hangs!

I am running python on the DEC Alpha system.   The program goes through 
a large flat file biological database. Reads entry by entry and prints 
some information after parsing each entry.  (an entry consists of number of lines).
I can give you more detail, if this was an unknown problem.

We definitely need more information! One problem is that we don't have a DEC Alpha system to test on, so we can't easily try if out even if you gave us the source of your script and the input data!

Of course it's also possible that it's a bug in your program, or a change in Python that has nothing to do with DEC Alpha. But we can't tell from what you're saying! Can you reproduce the problem with a small test script? Also, please try if this is still broken with Python 2.0b2.

Hi

Thanks for the response.  Actually I tested with  version 1.5.2  1.6  and 2.0b on Dec
machines . Same problem.

I am trying with linux, so far it is running (it will take another 5-7 hours to finish).
If  this succeeds with linux,  I will again try with DEC machine and let you know.

The data file is too large, I can give you ftp address to copy .

So at least show us your code! If you dont' want to make it public, mail it to guido@beopen.com.

Comment:
The combination of "parsing" and "can't kill via ^C" suggests it's hung in the bowels of a regexp search (if so, should be reducible to a 1-liner!).
