I understand. The guy has a problem today for which there is a solution that I posted. If he's "been meaning to look into the problem" and he's posting to python-dev I presume he knows at least a little about running gdb if he's operating in a Unix environment. These two gdb commands

source .gdbinit
pystack

shouldn't be too much of a barrier.
