akira added the comment: Victor, where can you reproduce it (OS, python version, what C lib)?
I don't receive segfault, only sigpipe (see msg217818 ). Here's gdb backtrace after the signal: Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe. 0x00007ffff71e1040 in __write_nocancel () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82 82 ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S: No such file or directory.
