Re: visit_decref: Assertion `gc-gc.gc_refs != 0' failed.
[alexLIGO] I got this error when trying to execute the following python command with in a C module: Py_BuildValue Do anyone have any idea what this error is about? Just the comment on the failing assert: assert(gc-gc.gc_refs != 0); /* else refcount was too small */ There are more pointers to the object than the object's reference count says there are. That's fatally bad. Probably due to a missing Py_INCREF, possibly due to an extra Py_DECREF. And does anyone have any idea how to debug a python script? You need to debug C code here, not Python code. It's unlikely that the problem is in C code that ships with Python; it's far more likely to be in your C code, or in C code from a third-party extension module. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
