Package: python2.4-dev Version: 2.4.4-4 First of all, I'm not sure whether this is a bug with python2.4-dev or with python2.4 itself, but I think as those packages are closely related, that doesn't matter that much.
I have the following minimal reproducer of the problem: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat pytest.c #include <Python.h> int main() { Py_Initialize(); PyRun_SimpleString("print 'hello world1'"); Py_Finalize(); Py_Initialize(); PyRun_SimpleString("print 'hello world2'"); Py_Finalize(); } Now, the two scenarios, one with python2.4 2.4.4-3 which works and one with python2.4 2.4.4-4 which is broken: [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg -l python2.4-dev Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii python2.4-dev 2.4.4-3 Header files and a static library for Python [EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc -o pytest pytest.c -I/usr/include/python2.4 -lpython2.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./pytest hello world1 hello world2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] dpkg -l python2.4-dev Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii python2.4-dev 2.4.4-4 Header files and a static library for Python [EMAIL PROTECTED] gcc -o pytest pytest.c -I/usr/include/python2.4 -lpython2.4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./pytest hello world1 hello world2 Segmentation fault [EMAIL PROTECTED] So, it looks like something broke between 2.4.4-3 and 2.4.4-4 which made calling the interpreter more than once impossible. Both is on Debian unstable with the difference of the two package versions. If you need more information, please don't hesitate to contact me. Greetings, Stefan -- Dipl.-Inf.
