Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread

[ruebeckscube]

I've tried installing elpy on two different computers with the same result in both cases. It opens just fine and all the components generally seem to be working, but I periodically get a pop-up window saying that python has quit unexpectedly along with the following Elpy Output:

Output from Backend

There was some unexpected output from the Elpy backend. This is
usually some module that does not use correct logging, but might
indicate a configuration problem.

Here's my configuration output: ~/.local doesn't exist, so I don't think that's the problem. I ran some tests on flake8 and it looks like mock was missing, but I installed that and the problem didn't go away. I was unable to find problems with any of the other modules, but it's quite possible I don't know where to look.

You have not activated a virtual env. While Elpy supports this, it is
often a good idea to work inside a virtual env. You can use M-x
pyvenv-activate or M-x pyvenv-workon to activate a virtual env.

The directory ~/.local/bin/ is not in your PATH. As there is no active
virtualenv, installing Python packages locally will place executables
in that directory, so Emacs won't find them. If you are missing some
commands, do add this directory to your PATH.

Using brewed python + pip for python installs.
Thanks for any help!

Hello and thanks for the report! The output you get is not from Elpy, but from some other module you have installed. I'm afraid I do not know which module would cause this.

It might be because importmagic tries to import every module it can find, which some (misbehaving, IMHO) modules do not like. You can just ignore the output there, or you can try to uninstall importmagic and see if that solves the problem.

I figured it was something like that, but couldn't figure out which module was being cranky.
Uninstalling importmagic did the trick, thanks!
