I guess you don't have much options. Depending on how complex your
Python code is, and depending on what exactly you want to find out, a
C debugger may be your best bet. For example, when the Python code
calls back into C functions, you could set break-points on those C
functions, and see if it gets there. Or, you could single-step through
the Python interpreter and watch it execute byte-code instructions.

It may be possible to have a Python debugger invoked as well from C,
but if you've got a Heisenbug, that may not actually help.
