Which version are you running?  The Ubuntu version in universe doesn't even have any Python bindings.  Are you compiling it from source?

The value of HAVE_PYCAPSULE_NEW is undefined in config.h. I found: /* #undef HAVE_PYCAPSULE_NEW */ Is that what you were expecting? I didn't touch config.h.

I've finally been able to post a hive that is not working on the internet: http://bethlogic.net/NTUSER.004.DAT

And then this script has the failed assertion (same as in the email): http://bethlogic.net/test-hivex.py

I'm trying checking out the code via git just to see if that produces other results. I'll try setting HAVE_PYCAPSULE_NEW, too. I think this just might be something weird with the set up of my system that the assert fails. I did some "printf debugging" with hivex-py.c and right before the "assert(obj);" line, obj is not 0, which means it should pass, right?
