you mean this one:

Py_FatalError("PyThreadState_Get: no current thread");

Perhaps it needs a separate error message, that avoids the usual = Python cleanup and trickery and just prints the error message and exits ?

void Py_FatalError(char msg) { fprintf(stderr, "Fatal Python error: %s\n", msg); #ifdef macintosh for (;;); #endif #ifdef MS_WIN32 OutputDebugString("Fatal Python error: "); OutputDebugString(msg); OutputDebugString("\n"); #ifdef _DEBUG DebugBreak(); #endif #endif / MS_WIN32 */ abort(); }
