Also consider passing a logging object to make_archive and see if it prints out anything interesting before the segfault. import shutil import logging import sys logger = logging.getLogger() logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logger.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stderr)) shutil.make_archive(..., logger=logger) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
