Well, but sometimes you don't have a core file (because you didn't run ulimit before launching Python and the crash wasn't expected; if the crash is very erratic, by the time you've fixed the system limits, you don't manage to reproduce it anymore, or it takes hours because it's at the end of a very long workload). Sometimes you don't have the gdbinit file around (for example, Mandriva doesn't ship it with any Python-related package). Sometimes you are under Windows. etc. :-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
