This is confusing. A seg fault kills the process immediately. No
exception (in the Python sense of that word) is raised.

Do you have a Python extension that is written in C, or are you
embedding Python in a C program -- in other words, is a Python script
calling a C function, or is a C program calling a Python function?

What is it that you are calling "the python libraries"? Tell us the
filenames of these libraries. *Show us what is output on your stderr
when you experience "Segmentation fault from the python libraries".*

Was this Python/C combination recently created by current personnel, or
do we have a case of vanished author(s)?

It would also help if you told us what platform (hardware and software)
that you are running on, what version of Python, and what versions of
any 3rd-party Python modules/packages that may be involved.
