This is a duplicate of issue 10060, and as indicated there there really isn't much Python can do about this.  You should report the bug to Ubuntu, but I'm pretty sure there is already a bug in their system for it (which I believe has been fixed).

           Thanks for your comment. I've looked through that very
continuous thread (issue 10060) and than went to Ubuntu.You're  right  ,
there's   bug  #896836 (and several duplicates)   reported  on 2011-11-27
(for Oneiric) with confirmed status. As I understood from recommended
reading  the segmentation fault occurs
because of the conflict between loading dynamic and static bindings in C
based modules.Unfortunately there's no fix for it yet.
