[Python-Dev] Possible error in Python 2.4 garbage collector

2007-11-26 Thread Moritz Mühlenhoff
Hi, we're running into a problem with the Python interpreter, which we suspect triggers a bug in the garbage collector or a related part of the memory management. We are using Python 2.4.4 in the version from Debian 4.0. Our C application imports various Python plugins using PyNode_Compile().

This is almost certainly not a bug in python. A cursory look indicates that a list being traversed in list_traverse has a NULL member. I'd suggest examining the other members of the list to figure out what this list is. Use the debugger for this, that is what it is for. It is probably a list

Hi there, since ssl module is still in development I thought it would have been better asking such question here instead of on comp.lang.python. I'm interested in using the ssl module with asyncore but since there's no real documentation about it yet I've been not able to write something
