>Description:
Running python 2.6 on amd64, "import tidy", followed by "tidy.parseString(x)" for some x results in a Python interpreter segfault.

RedHat have also encountered this and provided a one-line patch, which works for me.  See:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466069

After adding "_tidy.Create.restype = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p)" per the suggestion there, Python no longer segfaults and I can use the tidy module.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install www/py-utidy on amd64
% python
>Fix:
Per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466069 patch tidy/lib.py such that after line 131:
sinkfactory=SinkFactory()
add the line:
_tidy.Create.restype = ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_void_p)

>Release-Note:
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
 >>> import tidy
 >>> tidy.parseString('foo')
 zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  python
