PyType_IsSubtype ()

Sheldon

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what this error mean:
#0 0x4008376e in PyType_IsSubtype () from /usr/lib/libpython2.3.so.1.0

The core file backtrace can be found below.
I am using Numeric and Python2.3 on a Linux OS.

Any help is appreciated!

It's not an error. It is just a frame from the backtrace.

To understand the crash better, one would need to see more frames from
the backtrace. Ideally, one would run the program in a debugger to
analyse it further.

I ran the program in GDB and it crashed giving the following backtrace:

#0 0x4008376e in PyType_IsSubtype () from /usr/lib/libpython2.3.so.1.0

#8 0x4007490d in PyObject_Init () from /usr/lib/libpython2.3.so.1.0

Can you make head or tail of this?

Not yet, although it hints to a bug in Numeric.

It now would help if _numpy.so was compiled with debug information enabled.

No, we still need more information. Can you tell us what version of Numeric you
are using? The latest is 24.2, so you might want to try that if you are not already.

Also, please try to come up with the smallest self-contained snippet of code
that demonstrates the bug so that the rest of us can try to replicate it.
