[New-bugs-announce] [issue1306] Embedded python reinitialization

[Karemir]

New submission from Karemir:

Hi, 
I'm embedding stackless python in a c++ application under linux. When I 
try to Finalize and Initialize again, I'm getting errors. this is a 
sample code that doesn't work:

int main() {
        Py_Initialize();
        Py_Finalize();
        Py_Initialize();
        Py_Finalize();
}

Second call to Init throws out a nice Segmentation Fault. Here's a 
stack trace:

PyDict_SetItem (op=0x0, key=0x2aaaaab1a4c8, value=0x6bab20) at 
Objects/dictobject.c:616
616             if (!PyDict_Check(op)) {
Current language:  auto; currently c
(gdb) bt
#0  PyDict_SetItem (op=0x0, key=0x2aaaaab1a4c8, value=0x6bab20) at 
Objects/dictobject.c:616
#1  0x0000000000476ac9 in PyDict_SetItemString (v=0x0, 
key=Variable "key" is not available.
) at Objects/dictobject.c:2178

Python/pythonrun.c:995
#4  0x000000000044a8cc in main () at main.cpp:23

I'm using gcc 3.4.6, and Python 2.5.1 Stackless 3.1b3.
