Description

I get a hang/lockup when I try to `pywrap` the `inspect` python library when using Python3.4. CPU is pegged at 100% on a single core. There is no problem when using Python2.7. I had a friend replicate this under a fresh vagrant install, and then also had a hang under Python3.4 but not Python 2.7 (in their case, running Julia 0.3.x).

I assume this has something to do with the internal use of the 'inspect' module within PyCall, but i'm not certain.

Details below; the hang is on the last line. I would expect instead that "**anon**" (a module) would be returned.
