mayapy throws segmentation fault 11 errors when executing functions

[Alex W]

I'm just getting started with Python for Maya, following the book Practical Maya Programming with Python, and I am getting stuck quite early.  When I use mayapy, I get segmentation fault 11 errors when I try to execute functions and simple lines of code:

>>> import sys

throws the error

>>> def hello():

...          return 'Hello, Maya!'

also throws the same error.

I'm running a student version of Maya 2014 on mac osx Yosemite.  Any thoughts?

Can you show us your error log ?

This is the error from the mayapy window.  Is there a more detailed error log that I should be able to access?

I was able to get things working by downloading Maya 2015.  I was resisting this because the projects I have been working on were 2014, but this is unrelated so it's okay.  Not sure what the problem is, but I see in one of the Maya 2015 Service Packs, a mayapy interactive prompt issue similar to mine was resolved, so maybe it had been a problem for a while?

MAYA-36024 mayapy crashes on Mac 10.9 with interactive input in the prompt, there is a bug report, don't know is it the same.

Hey Alex,

I just upgraded to Yosemite this week and I am getting this error as well in mayapy 2013 and 2014. Before I upgraded, it was working.

I'm always scared to update to the latest osx release, as a developer, because there always ends up being funny quirks. usually do the one just before :-)
