Right now, calling PyMemRawMalloc() before calling PyRuntimeInitialize() calls the function at address NULL, so you get a segmentation fault.

Can we get something more readable? For example:

FATAL ERROR: PyMem_RawMalloc(): malloc function is NULL, did you call _PyRuntime_Initialize?

Regards

Antoine.
