But dev tools don't actually execute the code they create in-process; they write the executable code out to disk and a new process is spun up from that image. So there should be no need to disable DEP for anything that the toolchain creates directly. Given that this was affecting multiple programs, the most likely culprit is either an anti-virus program or a virus -- though you probably can't rule out some kind of glitch in the OS itself. :/ -- Curt Hagenlocher c...@hagenlocher.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
