python24 2.4.5 core dumps with trivial operations

[lucadex@…]

I installed the python24 port on my Mac Book Pro Intel (OS X 10.5.4).

Then, after performed a "port_install" operation to activate this new version I run the python interpreter with these two trivial commands:

import re dir(re)

and got a "Bus error".

These are the operation I performed: [lucamac:~] luca% sudo python_select python24 Selecting version "python24" for python [lucamac:~] luca% python Python 2.4.5 (#1, Aug 27 2008, 10:36:10) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import re dir(re)

Bus error

This is the dump message I got from the System: "Process: Python [23040] Path: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python Identifier: Python Version: ??? (???) Code Type: X86 (Native) Parent Process: tcsh [216]

I'm using MacPorts version 1.6.0.

Any guess? TIA!
