I am unable to find any compiled extensions that this package loads.

As such, any resulting segfault in Python must therefore be a Python bug. No 
pure Python package should be responsible for segfaults in the python 
interpreter itself.

I've got an utterly useless abrt report filed against my pure python 
package. By "utterly useless" I mean only the segfault, with no backtrace of 
any kind whatsoever. I'm tempted to reassign it to python itself.
