I've have an application which uses tkMessageBox module, multiprocessing module and urllib2 module. For some unknown reason, python child process is crashing silently while fetching a url. This only happens when tkMessageBox module is imported.
Sample code to reproduce the problem is attached. My operating system is MacOS 10.10

When you say 'crash silently', what exactly do you mean?  How are you running the program?

I was able to reproduce this and from the system crash report it appears that this is a duplicate of Issue20585.  The workaround noted there should work for you here: define a "no_proxy" environment variable to prevent Python from attempting to call the System Configuration framework for default proxy settings.  For example, if you don't need a network proxy, you could do:

no_proxy='*' python2.7 crashreproduce.py
