Martin Mokrejs added the comment: Hi Ramchandra and Christian, I am using numpy, matplotlib, expat/cElementTree, doing a lot of os.Popen calls. But I think the problem is taht I have huge lists and when I do not need them I do del(_mylist) in the code ASAP. That probably causes a lot of churn.
Here is one stacktrace I just got with the faulthandler installed. It does not show in the trace any 3rd-party module so can I conclude it is a core python bug? Just recompiling with "-ggdb" so eventually will have better stacktraces. Does this help? I don't have the gdb stacktrace as I recompiled the binary now again ... :( Fatal Python error: /mnt/1TB/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-2.7.5-r2/work/Python-2.7.5/Objects/dictobject.c:1009 object at 0x40c0a60 has negative ref count -1 Fatal Python error: Aborted ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17234> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
