Hello,
This concerns a known bug in the frame_setlineno() function for Python
2.5.x and 2.6.x (maybe in earlier version too). It is not possible to use
this function when the address or line offset are greater than 127. The
problem comes from the lnotab variable which is typed char*, therefore
implicitely signed char*. Any value above 127 becomes a negative number.
The fix is very simple (applied on the Python 2.6.1 version of the source
code):

+++ frameobject_fixed.c Fri Dec 05 11:27:42 2008

line = f->f_code->co_firstlineno;
new_lasti = -1;
for (offset = 0; offset < lnotab_len; offset += 2) {
- addr += lnotab[offset];
- line += lnotab[offset+1];
+ addr += ((unsigned char*)lnotab)[offset];
+ line += ((unsigned char*)lnotab)[offset+1];
if (line >= new_lineno) {
new_lasti = addr;
new_lineno = line;
It would be nice to fix it for Python 2.5 and above, in order to have a
proper MSI installer for Windows.
Best regards,
Fabien Bouleau
