Here is at least part of your problem:
msgop = PyList_GetItem(work.msgobj, i);
work.msg_scenes[i] = PyString_AsString(msgop);
ppsop = PyList_GetItem(work.ppsobj, i);
work.pps_scenes[i] = PyString_AsString(ppsop);
...
free(work.pps_scenes[i]);
free(work.msg_scenes[i]);
You initialised msg_scenes and pps_scenes with a malloc'ed block but you
then just overwrote the pointer with the result of PyString_AsString. You
don't own the memory for the string returned from PyString_AsString, so
freeing it will cause a corruption. You should copy the string data into
the malloc'ed block (with appropriate length checks).
