Description Gökçen Eraslan 2008-09-13 02:06:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.1)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

In kdebindings 4.1.1, PyKDE4 crashes with the following code: 

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

from PyKDE4.kdecore import KGlobal

KGlobal.charsets().codecForName("")

An exception or fallback to ISO-8859-9 may be a better behaviour.

Changed severity to "crash". I hope to have selected only the right bugs (>100) :-)
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2013-09-12 21:41:44 UTC
This crash report is at least 3 years old and there were no further comments or status updates since then.

Therefore we believe that this crash is already fixed in recent KDE 4 versions or the backtrace is no longer applicable to the current KDE 4 sources.

If the crash still happens with a recent KDE version (4.10.5 or 4.11), please add an updated backtrace or provide steps to reproduce. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

(To prevent automatic closing of this bug in the future, please set the bug status to ASSIGNED or CONFIRMED)
