Category: Demos and Tools Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Closed >Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Olly Betts (olly) >Assigned to: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Summary: pydoc seems to run some scripts! Initial Comment: Ubuntu 5.10 "Breezy Badger" Linux 2.6.10 Python 2.4.2 Running pydoc on some scripts (for example regextest.py as supplied with python) just seems to hang: pydoc /usr/share/doc/python2.4/examples/Demo/comparisons/regextest.py Feeding it EOF (Ctrl-D) makes it actually generate documentation and exit. But as well as showing the documentation, I get output which appears to be the script actually having run with itself as an argument! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2005-11-08 23:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I'm feeling generous tonight. :-) Thanks for the report. I updated regextest program. Committed revision 41414. Committed revision 41415. (2.4) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Date: 2005-11-08 08:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139309 pydoc imports modules, it doesn't run scripts. It just so happens that regextest isn't written correctly and does things it shouldn't do when imported. You should file a new bug on regextest.py, or at least change the summary accordingly... but a new bug would end up in the summary again, and would be more likely to be fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Olly Betts (olly) Date: 2005-11-08 03:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=14972 So I guess this is a bug report for that missing check in regextest.py in the python distribution. Is running a script which is missing this check an inherent feature of how pydoc works then? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Ippolito (etrepum) Date: 2005-11-07 18:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=139309 Some scripts are broken, this one is missing a check to see if it's a script or a module: if __name__ == "__main__": main() ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1348477&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
