[issue40404] Python quit unexpectedly

I'm sorry you are seeing that crash but I'm afraid it is difficult to know exactly what is going here without more information. It appears you are using a Python 3.7.7 from Homebrew along with NumPy and other similar third-party packages from somewhere. The macOS crash trace indicates that the crash occurred within the system dynamic loader, dyld, while apparently being called to find a function pointer for Python's import machinery (in _PyImport_FindSharedFuncptr) to dynamically link to. But with a standard non-debug build of Python, it's not really possible to figure out what was being called and exactly why. Without a reproducible test case, there is nothing much more we can do and, even so, it's pretty unlikely to be a problem in Python itself, more likely some combination of incompatibly-built C or C++ extension modules, environment variable, etc.  Also, without knowing any context here, e.g. was this something that worked before you did some upgrade, etc, it makes it even harder for anyone to speculate.  If you can provide a simple test case, starting with how you installed everything and the exact steps to reproduce, somebody here *might* be able to give a better hint but you will likely get better help if you submit all that information to another forum that specializes in macOS NumPy, if nowhere else, StackOverflow.  Good luck!
