Seg fault when launching my module through my C/C++ application

[Maxime Boure]

Hello everyone,

I made a small python module to command NetworkManager and get some signals
from it.

My script works well alone, but when I launch it from my C/C++ program it
crashes at a certain function (here iface.GetDevices). Here is the function
that crashes and next my gdb print

*def get_device_path_by_type(type):*
*  proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager',
'/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager')*
*  iface = dbus.Interface(proxy,
dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager')*
*  print "iface : %s" % iface *
*  for d in iface.GetDevices():*
*    print "--> after getdevices"*
*    proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', d)*
*    iface = dbus.Interface(proxy,
dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties')*
*    devtype = iface.Get('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device',
'DeviceType')*
*    print "type : %d" % devtype*
*    if devtype == type:*
*      print "%s" % d*
*      return d*
*  print "return none"*
*  return None*

Just so you know I use other function from that script that works well with
my C/C++ application. Do you have any idea of why there would be a threading
problem ? And why a seg fault ?

Thank you for your inputs

Regards

Maxime
