Yes, I have read the mailing reference in the beginning of your mail... and I'll stick to C given the nature of what I have to do (especially since this is now working ;-) ). > Stefan > >

Segfault when using own C-written module and exiting python

by Laurent Gautier

Dear List, I am having trouble with some of the use-cases for a C-written module of my own (if curious, I am working on Python-R interface... this is open source so I can provide the whole source if needed). Everything is working just fine and as expected... until the python process exits. When running my test script through gdb and with the '-v' flag for Python, it ends with --- # cleanup __main__ Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0xb7dde8c0 (LWP 19670)] 0x080f3d08 in PyObject_GC_UnTrack () --- I have looked for information on the internet... but have not found much. Would this kind of error be familiar to anyone ? Thanks, Laurent
