FreeCAD breaks Python

[ei14]

I use FreeCAD. I also program in Python. In my case, these are separate things, never mixed. Yet when I run help("modules") in a Python environment, Python crashes. I determined this is because import freecad causes a crash.

I do not want to use FreeCAD functionality in any of my Python programs. But I also do not want to uninstall the entirety of FreeCAD just in order to use the offline Python documentation reader pydoc. FreeCAD should not break my coding environment! It's a CAD software! What gives?

Frankly, why does FreeCAD even pollute python3.XX/site-packages to begin with? It's a GUI software that, from a user perspective, should have nothing to do with Python programming as far as I know.

Here is the Python output of import freecad:

Python 3.12.3 (main, Apr 23 2024, 09:16:07) [GCC 13.2.1 20240417] on linux

I am not knowledgeable enough to interpret this output.
