Without computers, keyboards and monitors most C programs wouldn't be
much use, either. That doesn't make a malfunctioning computer monitor a
C problem. And it doesn't make a linkage problems a C problem either.

The indentations of the first message cross-posted to comp.lang.c and
comp.lang.c++ suggest that it was the latest in a series of earlier
messages posted somewhere else (comp.lang.python?). Those earlier
messages might have contained additional information. If that
information was relevant, it should have been included when the message
was first cross-posted to comp.lang.c or comp.lang.c++. You might be
right about it being "Python source code ... written in C", but nothing
in the messages that were posted here makes that obvious.

 That sounds like a C issue to me.

If it were a C problem, then the C source code that produced the problem
should have been shown. It's hard to debug code that you can't see.
