Minidump in C when executing Python script

Question

I have written a python script which should calculate the azimuth for a line (with two given points). But every time I run the script, I am getting the following error message:

If I click OK, QGIS closes down. I tried to debug my script with print Messages and I have figured out where it stops, but I cannot explain why and how I can solve this problem:

outdp.addAttributes([QgsField(EDGEID, QVariant.String),

for i, feat1 in enumerate(feats):
   progress.setPercentage(int(100 * i / n))

   fromNode = feat1.attributes()[idx_from]
   toNode = feat1.attributes()[idx_to]

   # search for specific from_node by nodeID
   exp = QgsExpression('nodeID ILIKE \'' + fromNode +'\' ')
   request = QgsFeatureRequest(exp)
   request.setLimit(1)

   for feat2 in inputNodes.getFeatures(request):
       geomFrom = feat2.geometry()

       # search for specific to_node by nodeID
       exp = QgsExpression('nodeID ILIKE \'' + toNode +'\' ')
       request = QgsFeatureRequest(exp)
       request.setLimit(1)

   for feat2 in inputNodes.getFeatures(request):
       geomTo = feat2.geometry()

# calculate azimuth for given edge and store result in attribut "azimuth"
newLine = QgsFeature(outLayer.pendingFields())
newLine.setAttribute(EDGEID, feat1.attributes()[idx_edgeid])
newLine.setAttribute(FROM_NODE, feat1.attributes()[idx_from])
newLine.setAttribute(TO_NODE, feat1.attributes()[idx_to])
newLine.setAttribute(PRIORITY, feat1.attributes()[idx_priority])
newLine.setAttribute(LENGTH, feat1.attributes()[idx_length])
newLine.setAttribute(TIME, feat1.attributes()[idx_time])
newLine.setAttribute(AZIMUTH, geomFrom.asPoint().azimuth(geomTo.asPoint()))

newLine.setGeometry(QgsGeometry.fromPolyline([geomFrom.asPoint(),
                                                  geomTo.asPoint()]))

#add the feature to the layer
(res, outFeats) = outdp.addFeatures([newLine])

# Add the layer to the Layers panel
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(outLayer)
print "Done .. "

I am quite sure that the following line is causing the problem:

newLine.setAttribute(AZIMUTH, geomFrom.asPoint().azimuth(geomTo.asPoint()))

In this line, I am calculating the azimuth angle with two given points. As you can see in the code above, I am receiving those two points from the "inputNodes"-layer.

For your better understanding, the python script loops through the objects of the inputGraph layer (which consists of lines). For each line will the azimuth be calculated, but for this, I need the start- and end-node of the line which is stored in the nodes layer (point-layer). For each line, I am searching the node-layer for start- and end-node by nodeID and store their geometry (geomFrom, geomTo). Both variables are needed for the azimuth calculation.

Any suggestions on what causes the error and how to fix it?
