This is what I have done recently:
- write a setup.py file for the extension
- python setup.py build --debug [--compiler=mingw32]
- gdb /path/to/python/python.exe
- run
- import and run the test module

gdb then stops at the point where the extension module crashed and you can
inspect callstack, local variables and all the rest. "gdb" calls a nice GUI
debugger on Cygwin btw.

HTH,

Gerhard
