Segmentation fault on ARM Mac

**Affects:** PythonCall

**Describe the bug**
A segmentation fault when trying to call a constructor from an imported Python package called harmonic, installed with `CondaPkg.pip_add`. The MWE seems to require having a project structure in place, I'm unable to reproduce this using a plain script. The issue is deterministically reproducible, see below.
