Pygame segmentation error

Question

I was running the kivy script below:

main.kv:

<RootWidget>:
    tabs: tabs
    TabbedPanel:
        id: tabs
        panel1: panel1
        panel2: panel2
        panel3: panel3
        panel4: panel4
        panel5: panel5
        do_default_tab: False
        TabbedPanelItem:
            id: panel1
            text: 'Monday'
        TabbedPanelItem:
            id: panel2
            text: 'Tuesday'
        TabbedPanelItem:
            id: panel3
            text: 'Wednesday'
        TabbedPanelItem:
            id: panel4
            text:'Thursday'
        TabbedPanelItem:
            id: panel5
            text: 'Friday'

main.py:

from kivy.uix.tabbedpanel import TabbedPanel
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout
from kivy.properties import ObjectProperty


class RootWidget(FloatLayout):
    def __init__(self):
        pass

class MainApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return RootWidget()

if __name__=='__main__':
    MainApp().run()

and then it all of the sudden I got this error:

Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Pygame, but the error is reoccuring. I am using 64bit python 2.7.6, and i installed pygame and kivy from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Well it seems I solved this problem and it had nothing to do with a corrupted pygame install or anything installed in general. The empty __init__ function caused this error! Hope this is useful for people perplexed in the future.
