All the messages you posted are coming from Python itself. I'm
interested in seeing under what conditions is Kodi starting the Python
interpreter. But there's lot of code in Kodi, so I'm not sure from
which place the Python interpreter is started and causing the segfault
you're seeing.

Any chance you do a debug symbols enabled build to get a backtrace of
Kodi ?

Yes, sure. You could also report a bug in the Kodi bug tracker? They
might at least be able to give some hints about what's going on.

Thanks,
