hint 1: the use of "may" in that sentence is intentional. hint 2: python 2.4 wasn't built with Visual C++ 6.0 (but python 2.3 was) hint 3: on Windows, this message is displayed when the "abort" function is called (including when an assert fails): http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k089yyh0.aspx the python interpreter will call abort() when it stumbles upon a fatal error (Py_FatalError), or when an internal assertion fails. when this happens, the program will print a "Fatal Python error" message to both stderr and the debug console before it calls abort. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
