2010-10-10 python.exe crashes or hangs on help() modules
when bad modules found
#######################################################################
SUMMARY
The python.exe command line interpreter crashes or hangs when
typing first >>>help() then >modules and a corrupt module is found.
Python 2.7 WinXP SP3 see version details in OUTPUT sections
#######################################################################
EXPLANATION
# -----------------------
I have a workaround as a user. However it appears to be a bug
from previous Python versions, 2.5 and 2.6 from what I've seen
through Google and other help() module tickets.
The workaround is simply remove the corrupt package.
# -----------------------
I've noticed when there is a corrupt package on my PC in the
Q:\Python27\Lib\site-packages folder that seems to cause
a problem when issuing >>>help() then >modules in Python.
Python command line interperter doesn't gracefully exit the
assertion, it crashes or hangs.
When entering python.exe, idle.exe or pycrust.bat (runs pycrust.py),
typing help(), then typing modules, the help routine runs most of
the "search-for-packages" routine fine (see OUTPUT SECTION below)
and seems to find all the installed modules but when it's
finished it does the following:
- python.exe either crashes, or puts up a help> prompt window and
then drops to the DOS command prompt as seen below.
MS window error:
python.exe has encountered a problem and needs to clos.
We are sorry for the inconvienience
AppName: python.exe
AppVer: 0.0.0.0
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 00a20fdf
- IDLE.py doesn't crash but after the >>>help() >modules it shows
the errors in .py files
- PyCrust.py runs the >>>help() > modules it then shows errors
in .py files, it then crashes
In my case you will note the problem occurs on my install of the
pythonwin package. On my system pythonwin will work until I exit.
I installed a new version pythonwin just after installing Python 2.7.
The pythonwin version always crashed on exit since it was installed.
The old pythonwin was deinstalled before installation of the new.
However, having a corrupt installed package shouldn't crash python.
pythonwin version: pywin32 build214
# -----------------------
Something of note:
All my development, including Python 2.7 installation and
packages and projects are on my Q: drive, which is
a mapped drive pointing to a sub-folder on a
networked-shared folder in WinXP.
Actual Folder:
D:\SUBST_DRIVES\DRIVE_Q_DEVELOPMENT
Net-shared Folder:
\\Mycomp\D$\Subst_drives
Mapped Folder:
Q: = \\Mycomp\D$\Subst_drives\DRIVE_Q_DEVELOPMENT
Although not directly used by the user (me) I also have
subst'd drives attached to sub-folders of:
D:\SUBST_DRIVES\DRIVE_Q_DEVELOPMENT
such as:
U: = D:\SUBST_DRIVES\DRIVE_Q_DEVELOPMENT\Projects\Python27\current
I only mention this in case the >>>help() >modules routine,
while seeking modules, can traverse folder structure attached
to soft and hard link combos, symbolic links and junction points
or whether they have an effect on traversing the folder structure
while searching for packages.
However, I went directly to the folder holding python.exe
at D:\SUBST_DRIVES\DRIVE_Q_DEVELOPMENT\Python27\python.exe
When doing help() modules .\python.exe crashed at the end of
executing "modules" as well.
# -----------------------
So far, I personally have not come across any other issues
with my installation and python programs and demo code run
with Python 2.7 except the previously noted exiting-of-pythonwin
