Well, the problem is pretty basic, but you would have a really hard
time to find it.... The problem happens at that line, but not because
of that line... It would happen with any call to the numpy C API (the
first one for that matter).

Here is your problem ! in your init function, you HAVE to call import_array():
PyMODINIT_FUNC initfoo() {
Py_InitModule("foo", foo_methods, "bla bla");
import_array();
}
This initializes the numpy C API. Without this call, all functions of
the numpy C API are actually dangling pointers, and do not point to
any valid function.
