https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61996 Bug ID: 61996 Summary: pywikibot.replaceExcept() may hang or cause an infinite loop Product: Pywikibot Version: compat (1.0) Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: Unprioritized Component: General Assignee: Pywikipedia-bugs(a)lists.wikimedia.org Reporter: info(a)gno.de Web browser: --- Mobile Platform: --- In some circumstances pywikibot.replaceExcept() may hang or have an infinite loop. Neigher keyboard interrupt nor any other event works anymore an the workstation must be restarted. Maybe this is caused by a malformed undetected regex. On the otherhand any interrupt should be possible to kill the task. I found this on compat, maybe it is also the same problem in core. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
