I use FortyTwo.py script from http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~Bjoern.Giesler/Download/FortyTwo.tar.gz It worked find under RH5.2 but fails with segmentaion fault in PyDict_New() after upgrade to RH6.0. This persists after I upgraded to python-1.5.2-7 from RH6.1 GDB trace follows. What is interesting, the program works fine if I download python-1.5.2-7.src.rpm and compile it manually, enabling Tcl/Tk support GDB output myprompt> gdb /usr/bin/python (gdb) run >>> execfile("/usr/local/lib/FortyTwo/FortyTwo.py") Traceback (innermost last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

I have no vgetty settup, but I do have a question first: have you tried using the gtk widget set instead of the tk widget set?
Please see if this is fixed in python-1.5.2-9 or later from RawHide, and let me know either way.
This is bound to have been fixed by now.
