Description Ben Beasley 2024-09-06 20:45:57 UTC

When importing any of the VTK Python bindings, an immediate segmentation fault occurs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --clean
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 -i 'python3dist(vtk)'
$ mock -r fedora-rawhide-x86_64 --shell
<mock-chroot> sh-5.2# python3
>>> from vtkmodules.vtkCommonCore import vtkVersion
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Actual Results:  
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Expected Results:  
Successful import; and then, calling vtkVersion() should work and should return something reasonable, e.g.:

>>> v = vtkVersion()
>>> v.GetVTKMajorVersion()
9

In addition to Rawhide/F42, I can also reproduce this in Fedora 41. Fedora 40 seems to be OK.

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2024-09-06 20:48:22 UTC

I’m not certain that this is a Python 3.13 issue, but it seems likely since it appears starting in Fedora 41, and there have been no major packaging changes in vtk itself since Fedora 40. I’m therefore blocking the Python 3.13 tracker bug.
