It's been years since I've looked at this, but IIRC, a "script item" is
whatever the host wants it to be - eg, in a HTML page, it would be
anything between <script></script> tags. I believe WSH would just use
one for a script file.
The Close() method will generally be called by the host - not calling
this could cause a memory leak (particularly if the COM reference count
also didn't hit zero), but it shouldn't cause a crash. That said though,
I certainly would not rule out a bug in pywin32's implementation.
The absolute best thing for us would be to reproduce the crash in the
test code at
https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/tree/main/com/win32comext/axscript/test.
The next best thing would probably be a stack trace of the crash.
Cheers,
Mark

I've added some debug logging to the top of most methods in
pyscript.py, mostly just announcing that the method was invoked. I was
a little surprised to find that for each invocation of the macro seven
instances of the ScriptItem class were created, instead of just one.
So clearly I have yet to figure out exactly what a ScriptItem is. The
really interesting thing is that if I invoke the macro once for a
given run of the host application, the ScriptItem.Close() method is
called seven times, matching the seven times the ScriptItem
constructor is hit. However, if the macro is invoked twice for a run
of the host application, I still see only seven calls to
ScriptItem.Close(), even though there are now fourteen calls to the
ScriptItem constructor. Can I assume that this is a problem? Sure
smells like one. Where does the responsibility for calling the Close()
method ultimately fall?
