[Python-apps-team] Bug#620859: cython: MemoryError swallows error message

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: cython
Version: 0.14.1-4
Severity: normal

If you raise MemoryError, the error message doesn't show up:

$ cython test_oom.pyx
$ gcc $(python-config --cflags) test_oom.c -shared -o test_oom.so
$ python -c 'import test_oom'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   File "test_oom.pyx", line 1, in init test_oom (test_oom.c:511)
     raise MemoryError('punt')
MemoryError


This used to work fine in 0.12.1-1.1:

$ cython test_oom.pyx
$ gcc $(python-config --cflags) test_oom.c -shared -o test_oom.so
$ python -c 'import test_oom'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
   File "test_oom.pyx", line 1, in init test_oom (test_oom.c:503)
     raise MemoryError('punt')
MemoryError: punt
