Question

when I try and run python->help()->modules I get this:

% python
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Apr 13 2012, 11:08:33) [C] on sunos5

>>> help()

help> modules

Please wait a moment while I gather a list of all available modules...
file ghash.c: line 875: assertion `hash_table->ref_count > 0' failedfile ghash.c: line 875: assertion `hash_table->ref_count > 0' failed
Segmentation Fault

and just like that, down it goes. My question is why? and How can I fix it?

I can access the modules fine in code, just can’t bring up the list from the help menu. The other tags from help work fine too. It is just this one that breaks

Answer 1

Run python -vv and repeat your steps. See what module fails to import.

Or install faulthandler. Enable it and repeat your steps.
