When loading Paster web server, python crashes while importing hashlib: motiejus@stopas:~/code/proj/env/bin$ ./python -v ./paster serve ../../proj/development.ini /home/motiejus-gentoo/code/proj/env/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pycrypto-2.0.1-py2.6-linux-i686.egg/Crypto/Hash/SHA.py:6: DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module instead # /usr/lib/python2.6/hashlib.pyc matches /usr/lib/python2.6/hashlib.py import hashlib # precompiled from /usr/lib/python2.6/hashlib.pyc dlopen("/home/motiejus-gentoo/code/proj/env/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so", 2); import _hashlib # dynamically loaded from /home/motiejus-gentoo/code/proj/env/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_hashlib.so Segmentation fault Strangely, importing hashlib from shell within the same virtualenv does not make it crash. It stopped working after full system upgrade. I will attach gdb backtrace in a moment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create virtualenv and install paster 2. get any app that uses paster webserver 3. $ paster serve app.ini Actual Results: Segmentation fault Expected

(In reply to comment #1) > Created an attachment (id=262157) [details] > python gdb backtrace Sorry for confusion, it's really just python -v to show where it crashes.
This certainly doesn't look like it's Gentoo's business. Whatever sits in /home/motiejus-gentoo/code is yours, and the several problems (bundled and outdated code, mixing system python with a python binary that appears to be running from a user-local directory) you are seeing could be resolved if that "paster" package would rely on the system-installed packages instead of bundled ones. The bundled python binary appears to mix its own files with the system files - you could probably unset some python related paths in your environment to get over that, but the question would remain if that's what you really want, rather than writing your own ebuild and installing with that package exactly what "parser" needs of its own and none of what Gentoo cannot provide.
