[Twisted-Python] Can a deferred catch a segmentation fault?

[Gerald John M. Manipon]

Hi,

I'm using deferToThread to run some python code which may or may not
be safe.  In particular, the code may load some modules that could
seg fault.  In this case, deferToThread won't work and the python
process will bomb so I was wondering what Defer strategy I could
use to handle this situation:

from twisted.internet import threads, reactor

def segFaultFunc():
     import binning #this will seg fault
     return True

def myCb(res):
     print "Got", res
     reactor.stop()

d = threads.deferToThread(segFaultFunc)
d.addCallback(myCb)

reactor.run()

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gerald
