exec_file fails completely on Python 3.1 and above #371

Open hajokirchhoff opened 3 years ago

hajokirchhoff commented 3 years ago

When PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x03010000, boost::python::exec_file passes an invalid string to Py_RunFile.

The problem is that char* f points to a temporary buffer returned by the UTF conversion routine PyBytes_AsString, but this buffer is deallocated via Py_DECREF before f gets passed to Py_RunFile.

I will create a pull request with a fix shortly.
