It might be worth trying the new pyGPlates 0.35 source code mentioned in [this post](https://discourse.gplates.org/t/python-shell-segmentation-fault-after-exiting-when-importing-pygplates/487/5).

It fixes the seg fault on exit for Python 3.9 (but might also fix your Python 3.8 issue, if it’s the same problem, although I’ve only heard of this particular _seg-fault-on-exit_ problem happening with Python 3.9).
