#100228 — SystemError in python 2.5.4

Hi All,

I am getting the error mentioned below in python 2.5.4.

SystemError: \loewis\25\python\Objects\longobject.c:225: bad argument to internal function.

I also ran the same code in python 2.7.
There I am not getting this error.

I don't know which causes this error. Any solution for this?

Note: The error is coming from the method call findall(path).


Thanks.

Interesting! What platform (OS, etc) are you running this on? Python
2.5 isn't supported any more, so you might have to talk to Red Hat or
someone. Alternatively, given that 2.7 doesn't have this problem, can
you simply write it off as an issue with the older Python, and use 2.7
instead?

ChrisA, Thanks for your quick response. 
I am using Windows and we are using 2.5.4 only.
Is there any workaround?

I wouldn't know. All I know is, upgrading to 2.7 gives you a lot of
other improvements too, so unless there's something serious holding
you back, move forward!

Sounds like your installation of Python is broken. You should never get an
internal error like that.

If it was working, and now isn't, I would strongly suspect the application
has been corrupted, or possibly infected by a virus. I would start with a
virus scan and a disk check, and after fixing any faults that come up,
re-install Python 2.5 (or upgrade to 2.7, which is much better).

I do not have the code for Python 2.5.4 around - therefore,
I looked into that for Python 2.4.6. Based on this (older) version,
the "SystemError" above may come from the "PyLong_AsLong" function
(converting a Python "long" into a "C" "long"). In this case,
the error would be caused by provding a wrong parameter
(neither Python "int" nor Python "long") to "PyLong_AsLong".

At your place, I would have a look at the Python 2.5.4 code
and check there where precisely the "SystemError" comes from.
Then I would try to find out why it gets wrong (this might
require the use of a "C" level debugger).
