Control: severity -1 important I fetched the sip source and tried to figure out what is going wrong, and was able to get this gdb backtrace and source location:

May I suggest sip is extended to report a sensible error message instead of segfaulting, if 'sipName' is not set? I'm lowering the severity to important, as there is a well known and easy to apply fix. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
