New submission from Nina Zakharenko: When difflib.compare() is used on two moderately large sequences with little or no common elements, a RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded occurs.
This error became apparent when testing another bug (see: issue 19217) in the AssertEquals() method of the unit test library. A sample program to reproduce this issue in 3.4 is attached. To repo in 2.7 remove the list() wrapper from the range call. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: diff_bug34.py messages: 216479 nosy: gregory.p.smith, nnja, r.david.murray priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Difflib type: crash versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.4 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file34911/diff_bug34.py _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21253> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
