Description

The following quickstart hangs on system python and EPD 32 6.2.3 32 bit this log for ootb system python. I'll try this out on svn trunk...

comment:4 by jamestwebber@…, 10 years ago

(I've searched for answers to this for a long time, so I'm going to post my solution in multiple places)

I was able to get all Boost Python tests (in /test and in /example/quickstart) by uninstalling the Homebrew-installed readline. This strongly suggests to me that a bug in readline is causing these tests to fail.

While trying to figure this out, I noticed that only the tests using doctest were failing. doctest uses readline internally, and this might be causing an issue. As has been noted in other places, readline seems to have a bug in which it emits an extra character when first imported in python. At first this seemed unrelated but now I think it (or some other readline bug) is the cause of much headaches.

This is rather unfortunate because uninstalling readline breaks the Python REPL (e.g. arrow keys no longer work). So obviously this is not a long-term fix, but it does answer some questions. Weirdly, readline is not necessarily for doctests to function.

So, I don't have a patch or anything, but I think I have tracked down the bug to readline.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
