Tried it in a few versions on a couple computers, and was unable to reproduce.
-----Original Message----- From: python-win32-bounces+rdahlstrom=directedge....@python.org [mailto:python-win32-bounces+rdahlstrom=directedge....@python.org] On Behalf Of Mark Tolonen Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 9:16 AM To: python-win32@python.org Subject: [python-win32] Serious bug in pywin32? Today I ran PythonWin and accidentally typed 'python' at the interactive prompt out of habit, since I often use the cmd prompt instead. PythonWin immediately crashed. I re-ran PythonWin and tried again. Same crash. Ran again...typed 'import os'. No crash, but the interactive prompt hung. Anything typed at the interactive prompt now hangs. I have removed and reinstalled pywin32. I even removed and reinstalled my entire Python 2.6.1 installation (including deleting any Python-related keys in the registry). It still doesn't work :'( Python itself (run from the command line) gives the expected: Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec 4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> python Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'python' is not defined Any ideas how to get PythonWin working again? Anyone else see the same issue (don't try this on your favorite system). I will file a bug on SourceForge. -Mark _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 DISCLAIMER: This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
