Standard output

Description of problem:
python -v brainworkshop.pyw 2>two 1>one 

gives Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-2.7.3-13.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
Almost every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download from
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/brainworkshop/brainworkshop/Brain%20Workshop%204.8/brainworkshop-4.8.4brainwo.zip?r=&ts=1377201480&use_mirror=hivelocity
2. unzip downloaded file brainworkshop-4.8.4.zip
3. python -v brainworkshop.pyw 2>two 1>one 
4. Use ESC to exit from screen with image of brain displayed.

Actual results:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected results:
Normal running.

Additional info:
The software dates from 2010 and may be obsolete or no longer be
supported. I have emailed the author/maintainer to see if this is the
case. However, faulty python code that doesn't seem to link to other modules (in C or C++) should not cause a dump.

I also note the Segmentation Fault message does not appear in the starndard error file.

I don't see how this could be Python's error. The message

AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed

is caused by not cleaning up audio handles properly. This may be result of wrong ctypes usage in pyglet/media/drivers/openal/lib_* (in the sense that there is no deallocation/deinitialization code.
I can't help you here, sorry. I'm closing as cantfix - if you still think that the error is in Python after communication with upstream, feel free to reopen this bug.
