That suggests it's still in Py_Initialize().  What does the gdb
command 'bt' say???

I'd also try another experiment: instead of "run" try "run -S".  This
passes the -S option to Python when it is started, so that it doesn't
try to load site.py (which executes rather a lot of Python code).  I'd
be interested in seeing how much you can do interactively in that
case, of if it still crashes in Py_Initialize().
