Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:
I tried to produce a buffer overflow in get_parent (import.c), but an
attempt to import a module with non-ascii characters is aborted in
getargs.c before get_parent is reached:
>>> __import__("\u0080xyz")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: __import__() argument 1 must be string without null bytes,
not str
This looks like a bug. At the very least the error message is
misleading because there are no null bytes in "\u0080xyz" string.
The offending code is
if ((Py_ssize_t)strlen(*p) !=
PyUnicode_GetSize(arg))
return converterr("string without null
bytes",
arg, msgbuf, bufsize);
at getargs.c:826
However, given the preceding "XXX WAAAAH!" comment, this is probably a
sign of not yet implemented feature rather than a bug.
