Well, ... I've managed to crash python by using an "ostream" rather than "printf". The code is below. If I replace the std::cout with a printf the code works fine. The symptom is that the cout is flushed to the console as it should be, then the python shell hangs. A few seconds later a "send error report to microsoft" dialog comes up. Here's some of the information it provided, in addition to saying it was an unhandled exception: Error Signature: AppName: python.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: ntdll.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00018fea I'm using Python 2.4.3 (#69, Mar 29 2006, 17:35:34) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32; MinGW Developer Studio 2.05.
