[issue31168] IDLE hangs with absurdly long __repr__s

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

I am quite aware that tk text widgets (and probably other widgets) have 
line-length limitations.  Which issue this duplicates depends on what action 
you propose.  #28840 proposes addressing limits in the docs. #1442493 is about 
code changes.

[issue31168] IDLE hangs with absurdly long __repr__s

[Dan Snider]

New submission from Dan Snider:

Objects with a 500,000+ character __repr__ will cause the IDLE shell to hang 
and thus lose any progress on open windows. 200,000 (on a decent system) seems 
to be the tipping point where it can never recover.
