I haven't been following this thread, so apologies in advance if this is
something you've already done ---
Have you tried running the program from a command prompt? To do this, go to
Start-->Run and type 'cmd'. Then change to the directory with your script in it
('cd ' followed by the full directory path), and run the script by typing
'python ' followed by the script name.
(you may need to type something like 'c:\python24\python ' instead, if python is
not in your path)
The effect of this is that, when the program crashes, you will be left with a
window showing you (hopefully) some useful error messages.
