[New-bugs-announce] [issue3241] warnings module prints garbage

Mon Jun 30 07:56:40 CEST 2008

New submission from Ralf Schmitt <schmir at gmail.com>:

The warnings module prints garbage when the __file__ points to a binary.
This happens e.g. when freezing applications with bbfreeze/py2exe.

It's easy to reproduce even without freezing:

~/ python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> __file__=sys.executable
>>> import md5
