In general, try to make a *small* example that reproduces the problem you have.

You are initializing the interpreter on *each* call to getPackages - 
don't do that. Worse, "inside a thread". Just initialize the 
interpreter when your program begins, and finalize it when your program ends.
Your current code does not call Py_Finalize when an error occurs. The 
next time, you invoke Py_Initialize again; and you shouldn't.
