Don't know if it is related but I can't access the CUPS web interface anymore using my normal user account (which IS in the lpadmin group): whenever I try to access the web interface using my account the cups daemon crashes without any message on the cups/error_log.

To access the cups web interface I had to set a password for the root user and subsequently I can perform tasks through the web interface without any problem, but I can't still use the system-config-printer applet.

If this is related (and it IS imho) the problem can reside in CUPS and not in the pyton application as the problem seems to happen upon authentication. The pyton script still need not to leak memory or cpu in case such things happens.
