Could you attach mq.py as well?
It seems like the problem happened because I was updating (truncating) files (tracked by mercurial) while pylint was checking them, and pylint thus got so confused that it crashed. I will try to fix Mercurial so it don't modify the files, but the issue here is that pylint should handle such errors with a (fatal) error message but without crashing.
Reproducibel with f=open('x.py', 'w') f.write('+1\\\n'*100) import os os.system('pylint x.py &') for i in range(f.tell(),1,-4): print i f.seek(i) f.truncate()
That's not something that I would expect to work.
(In reply to comment #5) > That's not something that I would expect to work. That's fair enough. But it happens in real life, and it gives a crash that abrt will report to you (or CC here). I would expect it to fail in a civilized way.
