Description Andriy Pylypenko 2009-02-12 15:00:15 UTC 
There is a bug in the py-xmlrpc module which leads to crash of the interpreter. In the module the PyObject_NEW()/PyMem_DEL() are used while the PyObject_NEW()/PyObject_DEL() pair must be used. This bug is well known actually and very old. But the project looks to be abandoned so the fix has not been incorporated into the source code yet. Here is this bug report and fix at the project's tracker.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1734819&group_id=23992&atid=380301

Fix: PyMem_DEL() calls must be replaced with PyObject_DEL() calls.

Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: Install the module under Python 2.5 or higher and try to import it.
