There is a similar crash and several duplicates on https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/421318, it started happening recently and doesn't match totem changes so it could be a pygtk issue

Comment 6 Tim-Philipp Müller 2009-10-01 12:32:51 UTC

This was actually a bug in totem's python plugin loader. This should fix it:

 commit 11d6c1ba5a3fad3bfb34d44e0a4205025c6c5b69
 Author: Alessandro Decina <alessandro.decina@collabora.co.uk>
 Date:   Wed Sep 30 18:33:48 2009 +0100

    totem-python-plugin: ensure and release GIL before unrefing python object
    
    Should fix 'Fatal Python error: PyEval_SaveThread: NULL tstate' error
    when closing totem with the BBC plugin loaded. Might happen with other
    python plugins as well.
    
    Fixes #593967.
