PythonWin --> drwatson

I have installed PythonWin from the <pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.exe>
distribution. When I try to open it, the message "PyWin32 has
encountered a problem ..." appears, and a drwatson error report is
generated.

Python 2.6 itself, from a cmd window or using IDLE, works without problem.

I cannot find any reports of similar behavior in FAQs, forums, or
general "googling", and am looking for suggestions of remedies.

Running WinXP Home, SP3.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Frank,

Have you tried uninstalling PythonWin and reinstalling it using the
Windows installer package? Is there any entry in the Event Viewer
application log when this happens?
Thanks for your reply, Allan. I am not sure what you mean by "the
Windows installer package" -- a *.msi file?. I cannot find a *.msi file
at Sourceforge, which is where the <pywin32-212.win32-py2.6.execame
from. When I use the latter (I have uninstalled and reinstalled using
this many times now!), I get no error entries in the Event Viewer.
However, when I try to open PythonWin, the Event Viewer shows the
following message:

"Faulting application pythonwin.exe, version 2.6.212.0, faulting module
mfc90.dll, version 9.0.21022.8, fault address 0x0004453f."

Granted, win32 is maintained as a separate package, but the ActiveState
Python download (which includes it by default) is still only on Python
2.5.2
The standalone package has been available for months, since the Alpha
stage I believe. I don't believe it will install without an installed
Python 2.6.
PythonWin 2.6 of Oct 2 2008 works for me. XP Pro service pack 3.
[ActiveState is not really relevant to this discussion.]

Yes, Dennis, I have Python 2.6 installed, and it works perfectly from a
cmd window and from IDLE.

Yes, Dennis, I have Python 2.6 installed, and it works perfectly from a
cmd window and from IDLE.
FWIW, I have Python 2.6 + pywin32 build 212 installed on XP SP3 and both
the command line interpreter, IDLE, and Pythonwin they all work fine.

Is yours XP Home or XP Pro? Mine, where Python 2.6 works but pywin 32
build 212 does not, is XP Home.

I've un-installed Python 2.4, re-installed Python 2.3 and PythonWin for 2.3, but it's still broke. When I start PythonWin, sometimes it looks like it is going to be okay. But as soon as I open a .py file, the interactive window grabs the focus and will not let go. I am stumped. Is there something PythonWin uses that I could try re-installing? WxPython maybe?

I've been having a problem with PythonWin that seemed to start completely spontaneously and I don't even know where to START to find the answer.

I tried returning it to its original (smaller)...
