[issue42184] pdb exits unexpectedly when calling args

[Irit Katriel]

Irit Katriel  added the comment:

This is true in 3.10 as well. The same happens if __repr__ raises an exception. 
do_args command doesn't handle exceptions from repr.

[issue42184] pdb exits unexpectedly when calling args

[Adam Merchant]

New submission from Adam Merchant :

When an objects __repr__ or __str__ methods return None a TypeError is raised. 
However if this object is passed to a function and `args` is called from within 
pdb, pdb will immediately exit.

Attached to this is bug_example.py which contains a simple example of how to 
reproduce this.

Depending on circumstances this can make debugging difficult.

exact python version that this happened with:
Python 3.6.11
