Public bug reported: I have noticed that "pydoc -k ." hangs on my system.
This method is used by vim-ref (https://github.com/thinca/vim-ref/) to get a list of all entries. With `strace -f`, this is where it hangs: [pid 14429] access("/etc/ld.so.nohwcap", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libatspi.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 17 [pid 14429] read(17, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\20\332\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 832) = 832 [pid 14429] fstat(17, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=178328, ...}) = 0 [pid 14429] mmap(NULL, 2274208, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 17, 0) = 0x7f6ebbbcc000 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ebbbf4000, 2097152, PROT_NONE) = 0 [pid 14429] mmap(0x7f6ebbdf4000, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 17, 0x28000) = 0x7f6ebbdf4000 [pid 14429] close(17) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ebbdf4000, 12288, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ec05eb000, 8192, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ebbffb000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ec03cd000, 81920, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ec0816000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ec0a1f000, 8192, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ec0cb1000, 16384, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] mprotect(0x7f6ec137d000, 32768, PROT_READ) = 0 [pid 14429] munmap(0x7f6ee9dd0000, 183571) = 0 [pid 14429] stat("libgdk-3.so.0", 0x7fff3ac35030) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] stat("libgdk-3.so.0.so", 0x7fff3ac35030) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] stat("libgdk-3.so.0.la", 0x7fff3ac35030) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/girepository-1.0", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 17 [pid 14429] getdents(17, /* 117 entries */, 32768) = 4952 [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Atk-1.0.typelib", O_RDONLY) = 18 [pid 14429] fstat(18, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=65276, ...}) = 0 [pid 14429] mmap(NULL, 65276, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 18, 0) = 0x7f6ee9ded000 [pid 14429] close(18) = 0 [pid 14429] getdents(17, /* 0 entries */, 32768) = 0 [pid 14429] close(17) = 0 [pid 14429] munmap(0x7f6ee9ded000, 65276) = 0 [pid 14429] stat("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Atk", 0x7fff3ac32ee0) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Atk.x86_64-linux-gnu.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Atk.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Atkmodule.so", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Atk.py", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] open("/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Atk.pyc", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] stat("libatk-1.0.so.0", 0x7fff3ac34030) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] stat("libatk-1.0.so.0.so", 0x7fff3ac34030) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] stat("libatk-1.0.so.0.la", 0x7fff3ac34030) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) [pid 14429] futex(0x42ff0a4, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: python2.7 2.7.5-8ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-15.25-generic 3.11.10 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Feb 14 08:11:08 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-28 (626 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: python2.7 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-10-08 (128 days ago) ** Affects: python2.7 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug saucy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1280114 Title: "pydoc -k ." hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1280114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
