Segmentation fault: 11

This type of thing just started after upgrade. I assume there's a connection.

I found a similar symptom with another application after doing piecemeal
updates in MacPorts packages, and my problems went away with a more
rigorous rebuild of packages.

You might try cleaning out your compiled code (if any) and your python
compiled files (the .pyc files).

Looks as though python-dev knows about it:

i had this same problem after i upgraded my MBA to Mavericks.  The solution contained here works beautifully!

The other thing that happened is that Mavericks completely wiped out all my Python libraries.  I just restored them using time machine and they are irking fine again.  And, yeah, i have a use a lot of libraries such as pymssql, ip-tools, cherrypy, json etc.

Thanks for documenting this fix!!!
