Cool thanks for the insights! The os._exit(0) was a new one for me. It works! No more crashes. Great workaround.
Like Chad said, I learned to add the uninitialize call in 2016 and according to the maya documentation this is still valid for 2017. I disabled all my startup scripts I think. I did this by calling these commands before executing the python script: set MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH='' set PYTHONPATH='' Or is there something more that might be needed to be disabled? Is there another preferred way to disable the environments that is loading scripts and plugins? If it works for Chad Vernon then there must be something wrong with my setup/installation/environment...
