Georg Brandl added the comment: The reference to faulthandler is a good addition. The other added sentence reads repetitive and can be left out. Proposal: There are, however, enough ways to crash Python with :mod:`ctypes`, so you should be careful anyway. The :mod:`faulthandler` module can be helpful in debugging crashes, e.g. from segmentation faults produced by erroneous C library calls. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13951> _______________________________________
