segmentation fault when importing local module that imports numba

See original GitHub issue

I keep getting segfaults when importing a local module that contains numba into a file that has symengine imported into it. The segfaults are resolved whenever I remove either one of the imports. Anyone know why this is happening?

I’m using numba 0.53.0 and python 3.8.5 on ubuntu 20.04. I’ve also been able to reproduce this on numba 0.52.0 and python 3.6.9 on ubuntu 16.04.

To reproduce, create two files as follow main.py

import symengine as se
from utils import *

utils.py

from numba import njit

Then

PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 python3 main.py

produces the following:

Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault
