I tried this on my own machine and I don't get a segmentation fault. One of your modules is causing it. I don't really know how to proceed to find it.

I'll try to write a script that imports every module on your system and shows you their names.

it's the pylab package!
Trying to run a simple example as shown in http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/tutorial.html

Segmentation fault


Sorry for the long wait!

Where did you get that package from? I don't see it in any of the repos...

If you're using setuptools or something, make sure you have it installed into /usr/lib/python2.5 and not in /usr/lib/python2.4.

The pylab module is from python-matplotlib. You may close this because It's a comunity package. I'll add a comment to package's AUR page instead.
Thank You.
