Description
Environment
- Pythonnet version: installed from master branch on 30th March 2021
- Python version: 3.9.2
- Operating System: Windows 10
- .NET Runtime: Microsoft.NETCore.App 5.0.4, Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App 3.1.13
Summary
Registering a RawProxyEncoder
with PyObjectConversions.RegisterEncoder()
causes the script to fail with a stack overflow.
Thanks
First of all, I'd like to say thanks to everyone who's contributed to this project. It's incredibly useful for us to write one set of code to serve both .NET and Python developers. We've had very few problems with Pythonnet. Thanks very much.
Details
I ran into a problem with Pythonnet converting System.Collections.Generic.List into a native python list as described in issue 1153.
lostmsu recommended using a RawProxyEncoder to disable the automatic conversion. Unfortunately, if I register an encoder and then call a .NET method the system crashes with a stack overflow.
import sys
from pathlib import Path
from clr_loader import get_coreclr
from pythonnet import set_runtime
api_path = Path('..\\PythonStubs\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp3.1')
sys.path.append(str(api_path))
rt = get_coreclr(runtime_config=str(api_path / f'PythonStubs.runtimeconfig.json'))
set_runtime(rt)
import clr
import System
from Python.Runtime import PyObjectConversions
from Python.Runtime.Codecs import RawProxyEncoder
class ListAsRawEncoder(RawProxyEncoder):
__namespace__ = 'Dummy'
def CanEncode(self, clr_type):
return clr_type.Name == 'IList`1' and clr_type.Namespace == 'System.Collections.Generic'
if __name__ == '__main__':
list_encoder = ListAsRawEncoder()
PyObjectConversions.RegisterEncoder(list_encoder)
domain = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain
print("Found", domain.GetAssemblies().Length, "assemblies in domain")
The output is:
Stack overflow
Commenting out the call to RegisterEncoder prevents the crash.
