protocol.py, brine.py, and compat.py causing trouble

[Josh English]

I do not know what these three filesare doing, but suddenly they have caught in a loop every time I try to run some code.

I grabbed the trace decorator from the python library and this is the last bit of the output:


trollvictims.py(129):         if self.current_attack:
trollvictims.py(130):             print "returning", self.current_attack, type(self.current_attack)
<string>(532):  protocol.py(439):  protocol.py(228):  protocol.py(229):  protocol.py(244):  brine.py(366):  brine.py(368):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(366):  brine.py(367):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(366):  brine.py(368):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(366):  brine.py(367):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(366):  brine.py(368):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(369):  brine.py(369):  protocol.py(245):  protocol.py(221):  brine.py(339):  brine.py(340):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(181):  brine.py(182):  brine.py(184):  brine.py(186):  brine.py(188):  brine.py(189):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(108):  brine.py(109):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(108):  brine.py(109):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(181):  brine.py(182):  brine.py(184):  brine.py(186):  brine.py(187):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(108):  brine.py(109):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(181):  brine.py(182):  brine.py(184):  brine.py(186):  brine.py(187):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(108):  brine.py(109):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(181):  brine.py(182):  brine.py(184):  brine.py(186):  brine.py(188):  brine.py(189):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(108):  brine.py(111):  compat.py(18):  brine.py(112):  brine.py(113):  brine.py(114):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(181):  brine.py(182):  brine.py(184):  brine.py(185):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(152):  brine.py(153):  brine.py(155):  brine.py(157):  brine.py(159):  brine.py(161):  brine.py(163):  brine.py(164):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(197):  brine.py(203):  brine.py(181):  brine.py(182):  brine.py(183):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(196):  brine.py(341):  compat.py(18):  protocol.py(222): 

This is where I managed to send a keybord interrupt. I was working just fine, tweaking a line, running the code, tweaking a line, running the code, until this point.

I'm on Windows 7 using Python 2.7.5. I should upgrade, and will do so, but what are these files and why are they suddenly crashing on me?
