That's right, pychecker is not a concern. It's very unlikely to be part of the problem. Do please consider that it could be part of the *solution* -- which missing modules? what directories are they in on your co-workers' machines? what directories are they in on your machine -- same/different/none??? Answers to those questions might just give you a clue as to what is going on. Talking about clues, are there entries in drwtsn32.log from when Python crashes? Do they give any clues? > When I saw the pychecker anomally, I decided to rein-install Python & a > few of the packages. Uh-oh ... what packages? Which few? Suggestion: (1) Re-install Python. Check if it crashes. (2) Install package 1, check, install package 2, check, ... Note: Uninstalling Python will blow all your packages away iff they are all installed in the site-packages directory of the Python installation. It may be worth exploring this hypothesis: package has PYD or DLL, it's corrupted, it's installed outside the normal Python package hierarchy, so doesn't get cleaned away ... Recall that you get Python crashing only when run in the command window; this may indicate that the PATH environment variable is causing something else to be loaded than what you expect. Try looking in every directory in that path to see if there is any old rubbish there: python*.exe, python23.dll, some_package.dll, some_package.pyd, ... BTW, if python -v doesn't clue you in, try python -vv ---- that's "v" * 2, not dubya :-) HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
