zsh: segmentation fault python2.7 pywallet.py --recover --recov_device='./thumb7.img'

If I'm not wrong, segmentation fault usually occurs when there are one or two missing libraries/not installed correctly. Some errors in the past also suggest this[1]. One of the users fixed it by installing pycrypto on his own.

It can also mean any of these things happened:

- The program has a bug and got into some memory corruption problem
- NULL pointer deference (does not normally happen in Python)
- The file that was passed to pywallet.py was so large that it messed up some internal state inside Python while some method was being executed and that's how the process got killed.

Although I don't recall missing python libraries being able to segfault a script, usually the worst that happens is a fatal error and it prints a message.
