Im starting development with python, and tried some simple commands like calculations.

But, some times python aborts with "Segmentation fault:11" In google i didnt find a similar issue or solution for that.

Python is installed with homebrew. home-brew doctor command don't show any issues for the python installation and is up to date.

Have anyone an Idea how to fix this ?

Here is the OSX Crash Log: http://pastebin.com/rKpPJKxJ

Hmmm... spread the word. The following seems that it fixed it:

cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3 
cd ./lib/python3.3/lib-dynload 
sudo mv readline.so readline.so.disabled
