** Summary changed:
- python3-qrencode fails with SystemError about PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro
+ [SRU] python3-qrencode fails with SystemError about PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro
** Description changed:
+ [ Impact ]
+
+ python3-qrencode is completely unusable as it will crash with the
+ following error whenever any user tries to use to generate a QR code:
+
+ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qrencode/__init__.py", line 47, in
encode
+ version, size, data = _encode(data, version, level, hint, True)
+ SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must be defined for '#' formats
+
+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ Add the following content in a python file:
+
+
+ import qrencode
+
+ (version, size, im) = qrencode.encode("This is working")
+
+ im.show()
+
+ execute the python script. With the fixed package it will display the QR
+ code.
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ It is only defining 'PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN' before including Python.h as is
+ suggested by upstream Python docs. There might be some adverse affect
+ for this but the package is already unusable.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ The same fix from Debian is in Mantic.
+ Noble is also affected but I can not mark the bug status as confirmed. The
NMU fix was lost with the update to 1.2-6. But I have now done a QA upload in
Debian with the fix and also added an autopkgtest which has the same python
script as the test plan. So, when 1.2-7 syncs, Noble will be fixed.
+
+ [ Original Bug Description ]
+
Python3 module qrencode does not allow generating QR codes using
function encode().
The attached very simple script dies as follows:
$ ./python3-qrencode.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
- File "/home/arrigo/temp/./python3-qrencode.py", line 5, in <module>
- qrencode.encode("Hello world")
- File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qrencode/__init__.py", line 47, in
encode
- version, size, data = _encode(data, version, level, hint, True)
+ File "/home/arrigo/temp/./python3-qrencode.py", line 5, in <module>
+ qrencode.encode("Hello world")
+ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qrencode/__init__.py", line 47, in
encode
+ version, size, data = _encode(data, version, level, hint, True)
