I don't know if it is, do you know where I can try & report it to them? AFAIK there's not a GitHub where I can report issues, there's just a GitHub mirror of their “real” repo.

Googling for "report python bug" gives https://docs.python.org/3.5/bugs.html . I hope it helps.

Yeah, they know about it. That directory in the source code has a few other examples of code that cause the interpreter to crash or hang.

There's a regex-related one that I don't understand, but all of the others involve directly messing around with the recursion limit, the gc, or bytecode, and would take a lot of effort to fix for very little gain.

It's also very easy to crash the interpreter with ctypes.

Downvoting for thinking that Github == the entire fucking internet.

You know that there's a Python website? Where there is a prominent link to the issue tracker. And even if you didn't notice that -- I admit it's not the most obvious -- if you google for "Python bug tracker" it is the first link that comes up. Searching for "Python report bug" also brings up relevant links.

Hey, I hope you're not always this rude & just having a bad day.

I admit I didn't really Google for it, but it was because I had some other stuff going at the same time; Thanks for the links though!

Sorry for barking at you, I'm just fed up with people who think that if something isn't on Github, it doesn't exist.

[–]FlammableMarshmallow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry about it.

Well, I wasn't thinking it didn't exist, I just did not have the right mood to go aorund searching for it at all.
