catch all exceptions when using pip _internal?

[emilburzo]

Bug Report

With the latest version of pip (19.2.3), versionfinder (and thus awslimitchecker) crashes when running on AWS lambda.

It is because of a recent addition to pip's subversion.py, which doesn't expect sys.stdin to be None

I've opened an issue also at pip, but it might make sense to have a broad catch-all exceptions approach for the internal API, in versionfinder

@emilburzo Thanks, I'll definitely look into this, but it might be a little while before I can take any action on it.

Since you happened to mention it though... I was unaware (or forgot???) that anyone had gotten awslimitchecker running in Lambda. Is there any chance that you have any code you can share for packaging and/or deployment?

I think that's fine / there's no rush, affected users can either:

• pin their pip version to a previous release
• upgrade to the newest pip as soon as it's out (my pip PR got accepted, just needs a release)

Interesting, I didn't know this was problematic, for me "it just worked" :)

It feels pretty basic, but if it helps someone, sure, I can put a sample repo together.

@emilburzo Apologies for how long it took me to get around to this. I've confirmed a fix for it in #8 and released that as 1.0.0, which is now live on PyPI.

Thank you so much for reporting this!

@jantman thank you!

and also very late, but here's that example awslimitchecker-on-aws-lambda thing
