When creating a sample renderer, I've also experienced few crashes:
most often the reason was an exception thrown from python which caused
invalid behaviour in c++ code. You can try to wrap the "bad" python
code in a try/except block to find out what goes wrong.

Setting renderer to support only certain type of features is not
possible now. Your suggestion will work fine.
