This shows how to enable full debugging symbols for python segfaults.

I don't expect you'll merge this, but you might find it interesting. See output here: https://travis-ci.org/bukzor/travis-coredump/jobs/40320201

very cool, thanks, seems worthwhile to merge into a separate branch, perhaps python, to live as a working example? I'm confused however - how you are triggering a segfault exactly?

It's an edge case I found while testing my own project: install a wheel of coverage while running under coverage. There's much more straightforward ways to do it, shown in the doc for the gdb cpython helpers: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EasierPythonDebugging

import ctypes ctypes.string_at(0xffffffff)
