segmentation fault while running test suite and possible bug in documentation.

[Vimarsh Chaturvedi]

Hey guys, 

My first time posting here. 

I downloaded the Django source code and I was going through the instructions given in "Writing your first patch for Django".

I am working with Python 2. So, I installed packages via the py2.txt in the requirements directory. 

So, first with the possible bug. 

So, the documentation says, after your done with the installation run: 

./runtests.py 

which gave me the following error:

ImportError: No module named django

The README inside the tests directory says to run: 

PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH ./runtests.py

This command didn't give any error and the tests started running. 

So, Is this a bug in the documentation, or is there something I'm missing? 

Moving on to the segmentation. 

I run the test suite thrice. The first time it gave a seg fault w/o running any tests the other two times it gave the same error after running about 3k - 4k tests. 

The exact error is: 

16858 segmentation fault   PYTHONPATH=..:$PYTHONPATH ./runtests.py

Can any one help with this? 

Is this because I'm running Python 2.x and not Python 3? 

Thanks

Regarding the segfault it's likely related to this: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/24080

A bug in sqlite.

Hey Vimarsh,

Since Django contains no C code, a segmentation fault usually indicates a bug in Python.

Did you search https://code.djangoproject.com/ for similar issues? This error happened on some versions of a popular OS distribution, although it hasn’t been reported in the last few months.

If you can’t find anything, please report your OS / Python / sqlite versions.

Thanks,

PS - I’d love it if you said hello to everyone on this mailing list, and not just men. Try “hey folks” next time?

Hey Josh, 

Thanks for the response. 

Hey Aymeric, 

Apologies. Won't happen again. Didn't realise what I was typing. Where I'm from "guys" just refers to everyone. 

Regardless. Apologies. 

Thanks

Vimarsh, you correctly used the word. "Guys" may be used to refer to members of a group regardless of sex.
