I am running Python 2.5.4 compiled with gcc (Gentoo 4.3.2-r2 p1.5, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.2

My program uses python interface to two C modules namely libnids (pynids) and adns (adns-python). My program is written all in python. When I run my program it aborts.

As Martin said, this is off-topic for python-dev until the problem has been demonstrated to be in the interpreter itself rather than in the extension modules (mis)use of the interpreter's C API.

Until then, comp.lang.python or the user lists for those two C extension modules would be a more appropriate place to ask the question.

Cheers, Nick.

P.S. (From a quick glance at the stack trace, my initial bet would be on python-nids PCAP handling calling back in to the C API without reacquiring the GIL first)
