Crashing Python interpreter! (windows XP, python2.3.4, 2.3.5rc1,2.4.0)


Hi,

I'm using the following combination of software:
- Pydev Eclipse plugin (pydev 0.8.5)
- eclipse 3.0.1
- windows XP SP1
- pygtk 2.4.1
- GTK 2.6.1 (for windows32 native)

When trying to get a list of possible completions for the 'gtk' import object, the python interpreter crashes. Happens with all versions listed in the subject: python 2.3.4, 2.3.5rc1, 2.4.0.

I understand that this isn't a useful report (yet) for anyone to look into the problem, but I'd please like to get any hints on how to get more useful crashdumps etc. to help debugging this.

cheers,

--Tim

First of all, try tightening the field. Are all of these packages needed to
reproduce the error? Try to start the interpreter in a command line window and
see if it happens there, too. That eliminates Eclipse.

Might be a problem with GTK for Windows, I don't know.

Type
import gtk
Does that crash? Or is it something like
dir(gtk)

Try different versions of GTK and pygtk. Look at the pygtk homepage to see
which combination is known to work.

I've been trying to get Tix running with Python on Windows. Since there is no binary distributions of Tix for Windows, it seems the easiest way to install Tix is through IDiscovery's IDEStudio 1.9 (http://starship.python.net/crew/mike/Idle/). This went fine and I ran the "Install Tix into Python" option at the end of the installation, with the target Python installation being the Python 2.2 I just mentioned. I also ran the "Run Tix...

Hi, I can find a few questions regarding the use of distutils for making non-python windows installers, but none of them really helps. Are there any pointers on how to do this? Can it be done? A little OT: What about making MSI installation files instead of .exe? Is it a good idea to consider at all?

I downloaded python-2.5.msi and installed it. I believe its editor is IDE. I understand there's a Win editor called pythonwin. I believe it's in the download pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe, but I'm not sure if this exe file has just the editor or all of Python. Comments? If not how do I get the PythonWin editor by itself? BTW, one of the features I did not like of IDE is the limited file Print command. It puts everything in 16pt type, and...

I am trying to install Python 2.5 on Windows XP. It installs into the root directory on C:\ instead of C:\Python25 which it shows by default as what it plans to install to. Selecting D:\Python25 on a previous iteration put the exe in D:\ and did not create a Python25 directory. On the most recent iteration, when requesting an install to D: \Python25 it appears to have put files on C:\. I am installing on Windows XP Professional. When it...
