Python source debugging with gdb for a C Module

So I'm getting a SIGSEGV signal from my Python C Module. The module has been tested/built in Windows and now I'm attempting to use it under Linux (Linux Mint 17 64-bit). I'm very new to gdb but is there a way to get it to show Python's Source code?

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
PyErr_SetObject (exception=0xae3818, value=0x7ffff7e229f0) at ../Python/errors.c:70
70      ../Python/errors.c: No such file or directory.

If you want gdb to show you the code in a file, you need to tell it where to look for the file.

You can do this using the directory command followed by the path to the source files.
