*facepalm* Yeah, that's the one I didn't think of. But now I have an even bigger question. ... ... ... # /usr/lib/python2.7/sre_constants.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.7/sre_constants.py import sre_constants # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.7/sre_constants.pyc Segmentation fault Why is sre_constants segfaulting?! It's such a simple file! I assume the "matches" comment means it thinks there's no problem with the .pyc file; is it possible that, despite those checks, there's an issue there? I could delete the .pyc and try again, but I'm scared that'll fix the problem and leave me unable to figure out the true cause :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
