New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncogh...@gmail.com>:
While working on the first PR for bpo-44800 I provoked an obscure failure in PyImport_ImportModule by making PyEval_GetGlobals set an exception when returning NULL (as PyEval_GetLocals has done since bpo-18408 was implemented for Python 3.4). This ticket covers adding an embedding test case that: * ensures PyEval_GetGlobals() returns NULL without an exception when no Python frame is active * ensures PyEval_GetLocals() returns NULL and sets an exception when no Python frame is active * ensures PyImport_ImportModule still works when no Python frame is active There's an option to slightly change the behaviour of `PyEval_GetLocals()` to NOT set an exception in the "no Python frame" case, and instead only set the error when there is a Python frame, but something goes wrong when attempting to access the fast locals array (such as a memory allocation failure). ---------- assignee: ncoghlan messages: 416611 nosy: ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: Ensure PyEval_GetGlobals() doesn't set an exception when returning NULL type: enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue47204> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
