Hi Jules, The crash might be caused by wrong python dll's in the path, or incorrect registry entries for them.
Does simple COM example like this:
import win32com.client
o = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application")
o.Visible = 1
o.Workbooks.Add()
o.Cells(1,1).Value = "Hello"
work from inside plain python (No XSI) on your affected machine?
Are there other python versions on the same machine?
You could check which python27.dll, pythoncom27.dll and pywintypes27.dll are in
the path.
Konstantin.

Subject: External Python not working on some machines
Hey List, we're having some issues where attempting to use external python on
*some* machines means soft crashes on startup. What's wierd is all machines are
the same hardware, and the same python install. Python install is 2.7.4,
pywin32-217.
Anyone got any ideas what could be causing the crash - I'm getting nothing from
soft as it crashes on startup.
Many thanks,
Jules
