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.
