GitPython on OSX 10.7 and Python 2.7 Bug

[kennethreitz]

Not sure what's causing this, but help would be appreciated :)

Exception TypeError: "'NoneType' object is not callable" in <bound method WindowCursor.__del__ of <smmap.mman.WindowCursor object at 0x101547f18>> ignored

How could I reproduce this ? Its not happening when running the unittests.

I'd really love to see this fixed as soon as possible. I'll pay you money.

I must apologize for being so slow with this, but my life kept me on the edge and made it hard to get started on non-commercial projects again. However, money is not the issue here.

Would it help you if I just merged your fix in ? I wouldn't want to release it though as I intend to get rid of the getrefcount() calls alltogether.

Tomorrow I will move into another office, which keeps the commercial work, so I can, should and must continue on working on my opensource projects at home - plenty of issues piled up in the past months.

could you merge my fix and state in the commit messages that it is only a temporary fix, until you can refactor and fix things the way you envision? it would be nice to have a version of smmap out on pypi which didn't raise exceptions, even if the fix is just a temporary hack. the proper solution -- your re-write of things -- could be in a following major release version.

@Autoplectic +100.

[Byron]

This is now fixed using Kenneth's workaround.
A new version was uploaded to pipy: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/smmap/0.8.2 .

Doing this wasn't so bad after all, lets call it a start :).
Thanks for all your patience !

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!

Enjoy your cake!
