I assume this is using Emacs's own python.el, not python-mode.el, right?

`next' will only show tiny steps taken right after the point where
you stopped. Typically the inf-loop is much larger, so instead of `next',
use `cont' and interrupt it several times. Each time, use `xbacktrace' to
get a Lisp backtrace (or just `bt' if the Lisp backtrace seems useless).
By comparing the backtraces, we can see at which level of the callstack
happens the inf-loop.
`xbacktrace' only works under gdb (and only if you loaded
...emacs/src/.gdbinit which happens automatically if you start gdb from the
...emacs/src/ directory).

Try to trim down your customization to the smallest one with which you can
still reproduce the problem.
