This form is for hard crashes of the Python interpreter, segmentation faults, failed C-level assertions, and similar. Unexpected exceptions raised from Python functions in the standard library count as bugs rather than crashes.
The CPython interpreter is written in a different programming language, C. A "CPython crash" is when Python itself fails, leading to a traceback in the C stack.
