[Python-Dev] RELEASED Python 2.3.3 (release candidate 1) (original) (raw)

While building and trying out the windows installer yesterday, I had some crashes in pydocgui.pyw (the module documentation server), both on win98SE and on XP Pro. The crash ocurred when it was closed, and it seems only when the test suite was also installed (usually it also finds something in the test suite). Win98 was unhelpful as usual in only showing the top of the machine stack, winXP displayed a message box showing an access violation in TclNotifier.

I were not able to debug this, because I couldn't get Tkinter to work in the version running from the build dir, and I had no more time - I assume there are some env vars to be set so that it finds the tcl and tk dlls.

I could not reproduce the problem with the final built which is no out in the cold, so I assume it was a temporary problem. But it would be nice if other people could try this out as well before this comes back later on me.

Thanks,

Thomas
