Stop using ctypes
Registered by

Python's ctypes FFI is incompatible with Boehm GC, since it keeps pointers to Boehm-managed objects in the Python-managed heap. To correctly integrate Python and Ecru, all interaction with Boehm-managed objects has to be done from C, where the pointers can be kept on the stack or in the Boehm-managed heap.
