Make CPython segfault in 5 lines of code

This doesn't trigger a segfault for me in Python 3.7, just an exception that `print_exception` expects an `Exception`.

Someone commented below the gist with this one-liner:

    (i for i in []).throw(type('E', (BaseException,), dict(__new__=lambda cls, *args: cls))())

I managed to golf it a bit down to this ;):

    n="__new__";(i for i in []).throw(type(n,(IOError,),{n:lambda c,*a:c})())

Just one character but replace `[]` with `n` too :)

Or save that character by removing the space before `[]` instead (which you can’t do if you write `n`).

Mine produces segfault with

    $ python3.7 -VV
    Python 3.7.5 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:50:52) 
    [GCC 8.3.0]

Some more golfing with yours:

    (i for i in[]).throw(type('',(IOError,),{'__new__':lambda a,*b:a}))
