Could you try this patch and see if it fixes the failures?
I'm at a loss as to why this happens, but judging from the traceback the
spiexceptions module is getting unreffed somewhere and when garbage
collection kicks it it barfs on an object with refcount 0. So I'm
forcing an incref of the module to confirm that.
I tried various tricks on 32 bit Debian, with Python 2.6, 2.7, Python
compiled from Fedora's SRPM and I never saw anything wrong. Will keep on
trying, but tommorrow evening, time to sleep :(
Cheers,
Jan
