Segmentation fault while creating dataframe from list of mixed-type rows

[selik]

In [2]: pd.DataFrame([
   ...:     [1, 2],
   ...:     (3, 4)
   ...: ])
Segmentation fault: 11

I'd like to see a TypeError here, instead of a segfault.

Thanks! I can confirm this behavior on master:

In [1]: import pandas as pd; pd.__version__                                                                                                      
Out[1]: '0.25.0.dev0+37.g5c40cf2'

In [2]: pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], (3, 4)])                                                                                                           
Segmentation fault

Looks like a regression, as this previously raised a TypeError in 0.23.4:

In [1]: import pandas as pd; pd.__version__
Out[1]: '0.23.4'

In [2]: pd.DataFrame([[1, 2], (3, 4)])
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError: Expected list, got tuple

Seems a bit odd that the error shows no traceback of function calls because whenever there is an exception, python always show the traceback of exception.
This behavior could be because it's directly printed somewhere after catching the exception OR there's some error in API Calling to CPython Code.

I would like to work on this issue and solve it.
