[New-bugs-announce] [issue20703] RuntimeError caused by lazy imports in pdb

[Xavier de Gaye]

New submission from Xavier de Gaye:

Issuing the 'continue' pdb command with a lazy_import.py script as:

# START of lazy_import.py
import sys, pdb

for m in sys.modules:
    if m == 'sys':
        pdb.set_trace()

# END of lazy_import.py


gives the following output:

$ python lazy_import.py
> lazy_import.py(3)<module>()
-> for m in sys.modules:
(Pdb) continue
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lazy_import.py", line 3, in <module>
    for m in sys.modules:
RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration
