[issue2462] python.exe slowing my system

2008-03-23 Thread ryan

New submission from ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

Hello!
First of all, i'm not a programmer. I'm running Windows XP Pro. For the
past two/three weeks, every once in a while, my machine runs extremely
slow, and the only strange thing i see in the task manager is a
python.exe. When i stop that process, my machine runs fine again. It's
using 112,000k of memory...i don't know what python is or does, all i
have been able to ascertain is that when it runs, it slows down my
machine. please make it stop. i'm guessing that i'm running an earlier
version of Python, as my computer is older, i'm guessing it's version
2.1.2,2.2, or 2.2.1. I'd really like to trash all python files, yet they
must be in my machine for a reason.  Thank you, in advance.

[issue2462] python.exe slowing my system

Guilherme Polo [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:

You have some application installed that uses Python, be sure to check
that. If you believe that application is using way too much memory, be
sure to report it at the appropriate place.

If you have any other questions, python users mail list would be more
appropriate. This should be closed as it is not a bug in Python.

Dear Mr Peterson:

The FAQ did help somewhat...i figured that it was some 3rd party app, yet i 
have not downloaded any new programming recently, and it seems that python.exe 
runs when it wants to, unrelated to a unique program that i use rarely. 

I did receive a new Java update as well as a new version of spybot, which 
included teatimer, that is all. 

thank you for your input, all the FAQs at different websites merely informed me 
of what python was, not what programs use it. 

Ryan
