Hi, PyDoc is working well, if invoked without flags on the modul in question. But when I use it with '-w' to produce html-output, I get an extremely long Traceback after a runtime of an hour or two. Here is a short part from it:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pydoc", line 4, in ? pydoc.cli() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/pydoc.py", line 2117, in cli writedoc(arg) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/pydoc.py", line 1383, in writedoc page = html.page(describe(object), html.document(object, name)) File "/Users/maxwell/Packages/SciPy_complete-0.3.2/build/lib.darwin-7.7.0- Power_Macintosh-2.3/scipy_base/ppimport.py", line 397, in _scipy_pydoc_Doc_document File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/pydoc.py", line 283, in document if inspect.ismodule(object): return self.docmodule(*args) <snip> File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/repr.py", line 49, in repr_list s = s + self.repr1(x[i], level-1) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/pydoc.py", line 319, in repr1 return self.escape(cram(stripid(repr(x)), self.maxother)) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/pydoc.py", line 111, in stripid if re.search(pattern, repr(Exception)): File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/ python2.3/sre.py", line 137, in search return _compile(pattern, flags).search(string) RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded What's going wrong? When I ask Pydoc to write html documentation for other modules there is no problem at all. It just works fine. And this traceback tell me nothing about my module, only about PyDoc. For it matters: I'm stuck with Python2.3 for compatibility reasons in this project and the module I'd like to see documented uses scipy and it is not really a small module anymore (about 1000 lines, including docstrings and comments). Anybody an idea how I can force PyDoc to produce html output on this module?
