I came across a strange occurrence: in the python interpreter, I do the following:
>>>import numpy
>>>help(numpy)
The help displays correctly, but as soon as I press q to return to the interpreter:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I have no idea what causes the segfault and it still happens if I import numpy with a local name (the typical np). This does not happen with any other libraries. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling numpy but that made no difference. Is numpy too large to handle that way or is something wrong with my interpreter? How can I fix this?
I am running Ubuntu 13.04 32-bit and using Python 2.7.4.
UPDATE:
PYTHONSTARTUP and PYTHONPATH are both empty.
Writing a script which does this has exactly the same effect.
Also, numpy and other libraries work perfectly, it's just the help call that messes up when used on numpy.
UPDATE 2:
For test.py:
if __name__ == "__main__":
import numpy
help(numpy)
Here is the gdb output:

Without open(...) I also found:

解决方案
From the Python side, I managed to track it down to this function in pydoc.py...
def pipepager(text, cmd):
"""Page through text by feeding it to another program."""
pipe = os.popen(cmd, 'w')
try:
pipe.write(text)
pipe.close()
except IOError:
pass # Ignore broken pipes caused by quitting the pager program.
...specifically the line pipe.write(text).
The problem goes away if you change that function to...
def pipepager(text, cmd):
"""Page through text by feeding it to another program."""
import subprocess
pipe = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdin=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True).stdin
try:
pipe.write(text)
pipe.close()
except IOError:
pass # Ignore broken pipes caused by quitting the pager program.
...which might be a reasonable workaround, although I'm still investigating why that fixes the problem - there's very little difference between the strace(1) output for the two cases.
Update
Leeward has filed a bug report for this.
