Segmentation Fault in pyalsa with python 3.12 about linux-show-player HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you reproduce the error consistently?
The change you made shouldn't make any difference, and on the second run the import worked successfully.

A fix has been merged upstream alsa-project/alsa-python@cb75f5c, hopefully we'll se a new release soon.

That is correct. I have tried running this multiple times and these are the result is that it works with modified code and does not work with that modification.

I've tried running it back to back with modified code and unmodified code and then tried it again and still got the same results.

It might be a python issue itself.

Please let me know if you have any additional follow-up questions.

Thanks. I'll try to reproduce the error and do some debug 🐞

The problem is introduced by Python 3.12, not sure by what specifically, I'm able to trigger the crash by simply from pyalsa import alsasq, depending on the conditions, even with the try/except changes it still crashes.

• On Federa it affects also the packaged version of pyalsa (python3-alsa)
• On Arch with pyenv I'm able to reproduce the same behavior

I've opened an issue alsa-project/alsa-python#9

from linux-show-player.

Small update, as a temporary solution, I've added a condition to skip pyalsa installation when python is >= 3.12 ... at least we avoid crashes
