Re: [rsf-devel] Issue with rendering pdfs using madagascar

[Zhicheng G. <zhi...@ut...>]

The problem is caused by this line in tex.py:
exec(progs, locals())
And it used to be 
exec progs in locals()

This actually is a bug from python. Check the following link.
https://bugs.python.org/issue21591 <https://bugs.python.org/issue21591>
And this problem is fixed in Python 2.7.9.
Maybe you can upgrade your python or if it’s difficult to do that I can help you fix it in Madagascar’s source code.
