### Description I am using Kemi with the app_python3 module. I was getting what appeared to be random TypeError exceptions thrown within the Kamailio app_python3 module. I later discovered that this only happened when calling a Kamailio function that exceeded the duration specified in the latency_limit_action core parameter. Also, the line printed in the logs displayed Null values in the 'file:' and 'func:' fields. #### Reproduction To reproduce the issue: 1. You must be using Kemi with the app_python3 module, with the cfgengine set to python. 2. Set the following in your kamailio.cfg file: ``` latency_log=2 latency_limit_action=100000 ``` 3. Run a Kemi function call that takes more time than the latency_limi_action set above. You may have to lower it if your computer is a fast runner. Here is my suggested code: ``` jsreload = dict() jsreload["jsonrpc"] = "2.0" jsreload["method"] = "tls.reload" jsreload["id"] = 1 KSR.jsonrpcs.exec(json.dumps(jsreload)) ``` 4. Use python version 3.11 #### Log Messages 45(324) INFO: app_python3 [apy_kemi.c:377]: sr_apy_kemi_exec_func(): alert - action KSR.jsonrpcs.exec(...) took too long [752946 ms] (file:(null) func:(null) line:491) 45(324) ERROR: app_python3 [python_support.c:167]: python_handle_exception(): apy_exec: ksr_rtimer_dodebug(rtimer): Unhandled exception in the Python code: TypeError: expected bytes, str found The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/etc/kamailio/kamailio.py", line 491, in ksr_rtimer_dodebug KSR.jsonrpcs.exec(json.dumps(jsreload)) SystemError: <built-in function exec> returned a result with an exception set ### Possible Solutions The solution is to replace PyBytes_AsString(..) calls with calls to PyUnicode_AsUTF8(..) in the PY_VERSION_HEX >= 0x030B0000 block of apy_kemi.c. The PyBytes_AsString expects a Bytes value but reeives a Unicode value instead, thus causing the TypeError exception. Enclosed is a patch file with the fix implemented: [kamailio-5.8.2.patch.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/1619573… ### Additional Information * **Kamailio Version** - output of `kamailio -v` ``` # kamailio -v version: kamailio 5.8.2 (x86_64/linux) 3fa5f4 flags: USE_TCP, USE_TLS, USE_SCTP, TLS_HOOKS, USE_RAW_SOCKS, DISABLE_NAGLE, USE_MCAST, DNS_IP_HACK, SHM_MMAP, PKG_MALLOC, MEM_JOIN_FREE, Q_MALLOC, F_MALLOC, TLSF_MALLOC, DBG_SR_MEMORY, USE_FUTEX, FAST_LOCK-ADAPTIVE_WAIT, USE_DNS_CACHE, USE_DNS_FAILOVER, USE_NAPTR, USE_DST_BLOCKLIST, HAVE_RESOLV_RES, TLS_PTHREAD_MUTEX_SHARED ADAPTIVE_WAIT_LOOPS 1024, MAX_RECV_BUFFER_SIZE 262144, MAX_SEND_BUFFER_SIZE 262144, MAX_URI_SIZE 1024, BUF_SIZE 65535, DEFAULT PKG_SIZE 8MB poll method support: poll, epoll_lt, epoll_et, sigio_rt, select. id: 3fa5f4 compiled on 09:58:55 Jul 12 2024 with gcc 12.2.0 ``` * **Operating System**: <!-- Details about the operating system, the type: Linux (e.g.,: Debian 8.4, Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS 7.1, ...), MacOS, xBSD, Solaris, ...; Kernel details (output of `lsb_release -a` and `uname -a`) --> ``` # uname -a Linux xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 5.10.0-30-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.218-1 (2024-06-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux ``` -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/issues/3915 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
