[SOLVED] Upgrade from Python 2.7.9 to 2.7.10 breaks Brainworkshop

Note: I originally made this post in June 2015, but in Dec. 2015 I found a workaround to get Brainworkshop 4.8.4/4.8.7 to work with Python 2.7.10+. Please refer to the new post at the following link:
http://eatpeppershothot.blogspot.kr/2015/12/enabling-brainworkshop-487-to-work-with.html

=================================================================
Recently Archlinux made python2-2.7.10-1 available in the main Arch repositories. Unfortunately, however, the Brainworkshop N-back training program doesn't work with the latest version of Python 2.

In Gentoo and Arch, the brainworkshop.pyw source file is launched by the startup script /usr/bin/brainworkshop which looks like the following (I have edited it to correspond to my BW data and config files on Dropbox):



After upgrading from Python 2.7.9 to 2.7.10, however, the following error message is generated:

/usr/bin/brainworkshop: line 8:  5212 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) python2 /usr/share/brainworkshop/brainworkshop.pyw --configfile $BRW_CONFIGFILE --statsfile $BRW_STATFILE --datadir $BRW_DATADIR

The actual Python 2 source file is located at /usr/share/brainworkshop/brainworkshop.pyw (.pyw instead of .py so that a separate console window won't be launched). Even launching brainworkshop.pyw directly without any option flags returns Segmentation fault (core dumped). In Archlinux, core dump files are located in /var/lib/systemd/coredump, but rather than trying to analyze a dump of system memory at the time brainworkshop.pyw crashed, I decided to run gdb to see if I could get more informative error messages through a stack trace. Although gdb is normally run on C/C++ compiled executables, gdb (version 7+) will also work with Python if you invoke it as follows:

[archjun@lenovoS310 ~]$ gdb /usr/bin/python2

Now at the gdb prompt, type run followed by the name of the python program:

(gdb) run /usr/share/brainworkshop/brainworkshop.pyw

    raise NoSuchDisplayException('Cannot connect to "%s"' % name)

[Inferior 1 (process 26382) exited with code 01]

So it seems like Python's pyglet module is the culprit once again in breaking Brainworkshop. In a previous post from February 2015 (pyglet 1.2 breaks Brainworkshop), I described a way to get Brainworkshop working again by making a few edits to the /usr/share/brainworkshop/brainworkshop.pyw source file. I have played around with changing some of the parameters in line 1024

window = MyWindow(cfg.WINDOW_WIDTH, cfg.WINDOW_HEIGHT, caption=''.join(caption), style=style, vsync=VSYNC)

but I have yet to succeed in getting Brainworkshop to work with Python 2.7.10.

Workaround

Luckily, BW still works with Python 2.7.9, so I downgraded to 2.7.9 with pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python2-2.7.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (if you don't have this package in your pacman package cache, you can still download it from the Arch Linux Archive) and added python2 to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf as a temporary workaround.

Update 2015-09-07

python2-pyglet in Archlinux was recently upgraded from 1.2.3-1 to 1.2.4-1. Now when trying to run Brainworkshop with Python 2.7.10 I get the following error in brainworkshop.pyw when debugging with gdb:

0x00007fffde270664 in gdk_pixbuf_loader_write () from /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0

It looks like we are no longer getting errors from pyglet like we did above with pyglet 1.2.3, but now we are having problems with libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0. Let's take a look at this file:

[archjun@latitude630 ~]$ ls -al /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 20 20:32 /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 -> libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.3100.6

Apparently libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 is a symlink from the file /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.3100.6

What package owns libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.3100.6?

[archjun@latitude630 lib]$ sudo pacman -Qo libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.3100.6
[sudo] password for archjun: 
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.3100.6 is owned by gdk-pixbuf2 2.31.6-1

[archjun@latitude630 lib]$ sudo pacman -Ss gdk-pixbuf2
extra/gdk-pixbuf2 2.31.6-1 [installed]
    An image loading library

OK~ so gdk-pixbuf2 loads images.

According to gdb, the function that is causing trouble is called gdk_pixbuf_loader_write (). Looking at the Gnome GDK-PixBuf Reference Manual, we can find more detailed information on the C function gdk_pixbuf_loader_write (), but I'm not familiar with C so I am not sure where to start debugging this issue.

A google search for gdk-pixbuf2 gdk_pixbuf_loader_write () segfault returns an interesting (but dated) google code issues page on github that discusses problems with pyglet decoding images using gdk-pixbuf2. One proposed workaround is to try PIL, pyllow or pypng for image decoding instead of gdk-pixbuf2.

Opening /usr/share/brainworkshop/brainworkshop.pyw with a text editor such as vim or emacs quickly reveals that there are no explicit calls to gdk functions in the Python code. We know that pyglet can use gdk-pixbuf2 when it tries to decode images, so I searched for invocations of pyglet.image and found 6 results at lines 1031, 2304, 2327, 4622, 4626, and 4628, respectively:

if sys.platform == 'linux2':
    window.set_icon(pyglet.image.load(resourcepaths['misc']['brain'][0]))
...

self.spr_square = [pyglet.sprite.Sprite(pyglet.image.load(path))
...

self.image_set = [pyglet.sprite.Sprite(pyglet.image.load(path))
...

brain_icon = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(pyglet.image.load(random.choice(resourcepaths['misc']['brain'])))
...

if cfg.BLACK_BACKGROUND:
    brain_graphic = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(pyglet.image.load(random.choice(resourcepaths['misc']['splash-black'])))
else:
    brain_graphic = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(pyglet.image.load(random.choice(resourcepaths['misc']['splash'])))

I should take a look at the Python 2.7.9 to 2.7.10 changelog to see if there are any changes that might affect pyglet image loading...
