First up, thanks again to those who are helping. I think I am getting a better handle on the problem.
I am using: Ubuntu 12.10 Python 3.2.3 Qt 4.8.2 PyQt 4.9.3 I also have the ubuntu -dbg packages: python3-dbg python3-pyqt4-dbg Do I need to run my program with python3-dbg? I tried generating the core with the regular python3 and the backtrace has thousands of lines with only a very few mentioning anything about "No symbol table info available." Like I said, the bt is thousands of lines. I have a feeling that posting that here is not going to win me any friends. Is the problem likely to be in the first few or last few lines, or should I try to find someplace to paste the whole thing? If I do need to run with the -dbg executable, I don't understand why python3-dbg cannot import the PyQt4 modules... $ python3 Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:53:57) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys >>> sys.executable '/usr/bin/python3' >>> import PyQt4 >>> import PyQt4.QtCore >>> $ python3-dbg Python 3.2.3 (default, Oct 19 2012, 19:58:54) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys [60298 refs] >>> sys.executable '/usr/bin/python3-dbg' [60300 refs] >>> import PyQt4 [60323 refs] >>> PyQt4.__file__ '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt4/__init__.py' [60323 refs] >>> import PyQt4.QtCore Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named QtCore [150996 refs] >>> Also...
