Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: python-apport
When embedding python (as in with Boost Python) one sometimes will have
an empty or non-existent sys.argv variable. If the program crashes,
while the python instance is active, apport will run, but will crash
with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: __import__ not found
Error in sys.excepthook:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport_python_hook.py", line 49, in
apport_excepthook
binary = os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.getcwdu(), sys.argv[0]))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'argv'
This is because sys.argv doesn't exist for some embedded instances of
python (this is a really rare instance).
A simple work-around (aka hack) is to edit
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport_python_hook.py
And modify it look like:
import os
import sys
# new lines
try:
sys.argv
except:
sys.argv = ['no_main']
