[issue39977] Python aborts trying to load libcrypto.dylib

[foldr]

New submission from foldr <daniel.dominguez at imdea.org>:

Good morning.

I recently updated my system to MacOS Catalina and python crashes if it tries to load libcrypto.dylib. I have attached the crash report generated by MacOS.

Steps to reproduce:

Calling a binary that loads the library causes the crash:
$ luigi
[1]    70375 abort      luigi
$ dex2call
[1]    70451 abort      dex2call

Loading the library from the interpreter triggers the crash too:

$ python
Python 3.7.6 (default, Dec 30 2019, 19:38:28)
[Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import dex2call
[1]    70536 abort      python

I have tested with https://pypi.org/project/luigi/ and https://pypi.org/project/dex2call/.

Invoking python without any script or with (I suppose) a script that does not require libcrypto works fine:

$ python
Python 3.7.6 (default, Dec 30 2019, 19:38:28)
[Clang 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.16)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

$ python ~/scripts/yt2nb.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/foldr/scripts/yt2nb.py", line 6, in <module>
    e = xml.etree.ElementTree.parse(sys.argv[1]).getroot()
IndexError: list index out of range

The content of yt2nb.py is:
 
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import xml.etree.ElementTree
import sys

e = xml.etree.ElementTree.parse(sys.argv[1]).getroot()
for outline in e.iter('outline'):
	if "type" in outline.attrib and outline.attrib["type"] == "rss":
		url = outline.attrib['xmlUrl']
		name = outline.attrib['title']#.encode("utf-8")
		print("%s youtube \"~%s\"" % (url, str(name)))

I have Python installed from brew and the crash report has all the relevant version numbers.

Let me know if you need more information for testing or reproducibility.

Thank you.
Daniel.
