BUG: strange string causes segmentation fault on df.to_json · Issue #50307 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import pandas as pd string = chr(56000) print(repr(string)) # This is a valid Python string, but can't be printed normally df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [string]}) df.to_json()

Issue Description

When I run this from the command line, it causes a segmentation fault:

zsh: segmentation fault  python main.py

Expected Behavior

It should not segmentation fault. Perhaps it throws some error saying it can't to_json it, but it probably shouldn't crash the whole Python runtime (e.g. you can't even recover with a try catch).
