I would actually prefer just sys.setsegfaultenabled() without a
controlling environment variable. If necessary, the environment
variable can be checked in site.py and sys.setsegfaultenabled()
called.
As I suggested on python-dev, I also think this belongs to a separate
module rather than core or sys. The relevant code is already
segregated in a file, so turning it into a module should not be
difficult. The only function that probably must stay in core is
_Py_DumpBacktrace(). With say "segvhandler" module, site.py can
include something like this:
if sys.getenv('PYTHONSEGVHANDLER'):
import segvhandler
segvhandler.enable()
Does the latest patch address the GIL/multithreading issues? |
