show a python core dump, with full debug symbols

[bukzor]

This shows how to enable full debugging symbols for python segfaults.

I don't expect you'll merge this, but you might find it interesting.
See output here: https://travis-ci.org/bukzor/travis-coredump/jobs/40320201

very cool, thanks, seems worthwhile to merge into a separate branch, perhaps python, to live as a working example? I'm confused however - how you are triggering a segfault exactly?

It's an edge case I found while testing my own project: install a wheel of
coverage while running under coverage. There's much more straightforward
ways to do it, shown in the doc for the gdb cpython helpers:

import ctypes
ctypes.string_at(0xffffffff)

--phone is hard.
