Hi
With 0.87 and 0.86.2 mpl randomly crashes when executing this script:
---------------------------
from pylab import *
from matplotlib import verboseverbose.level = 'debug-annoying'
##verbose.level = 'debug'rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
plot([1,2,3])savefig("image.eps")
---------------------------The crash is triggered when savefig() is called and only if
rcParams['text.usetex'] = True. The error message is(test.py:7258): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to
pango_layout_set_text()I tried to track it down but the crash seems to occur in *different*
code segments (calling "python test.py" several times it crashed
sometimes after a call to dvips, sometimes dvipng, gs, ...). Sometimes
it even *doesn't* crash at all.I have the following pango-stuff installed (Debian):
elcorto@...662...:~$ COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l | grep pango
ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1ii libpango1.0-common 1.8.1-1
ii libpango1.0-dbg 1.8.1-1
ii libpango1.0-dev 1.8.1-1
I can't reproduce your result with pango 1.10.3 installed on a gentoo
system with python-2.4.2. Does the script crash if you set
verbose.level=silent? It looks like one of the stdout or stderr messages
from dvips/gs/dvipng is returning unicode, in which case you could try to
convert them to strings before passing them to verbose.report. Just a
guess.Yes, with verbose.level = 'silent' the script runs and saves the image
but in interactive use the interpreter crashes (an errow message window
pops up, verbose.level: silent in matplotlibrc).Did you try to wrap the stderr/stdout output with str()?
No. I have to correct myself. I just tested it again (with verbose.level
= 'silent' in the script and/or matplotlibrc) and it *does* crash so
it's not the verbose messages. This seems truly random ...
cheers,
steve
