>From Googling around, this looks to me quite similar to the problem described here: http://blog.rabbitvcs.org/archives/312
The author points to the cause of a mixture of modules with both static and dynamic gtk bindings being active at the same time. Because `help()` (and pydoc for that matter) iterate over all modules, actually importing them to get at the documentation, I believe that this causes a similar incompatible mixture of 'active' modules to occur. Can anyone confirm that this is actually the case? -ack -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/896836 Title: Segmentation fault when asking help() for the list of modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/896836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
