We're going to need way more information than this to help you. This error tells us almost nothing about where the problem might be.

Here's a helpful process. In the Python program, right at the top before any functions are declared, put this in:

import os
print os.getpid()
raw_input()

That will print out the program's PID and pause it, waiting for you to hit enter. In another terminal, run "gdb." Inside gdb, type:

attach <pid>
c

Where the <pid> is what was printed by the progra. The "c" tells the debugger to continue. Now, go back to the program's window and hit enter. When the crash occurs, gdb will pick it up. You can then type "bt" in gdb to get a back trace of the program. This will help identify while line of what file caused the error.
