Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com> added the comment: For example:
a = [] for i in range(22): a = [a, a] b = plistlib.dumps(a, fmt=plistlib.FMT_BINARY) The result is 130 bytes long on patched plistlib. But plistlib.dumps(b) will expand to a structure consuming almost a gigabyte of memory on unpatched plistlib. Increasing the level of nesting by one will duplicate memory consumption, so it is easy to consume all available memory on any computer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32072> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
