This is another reason I'm glad 2014 moved to Python 2.7.3. Just makes
it easier to deal with PyQt tools. If you have Steve and Jo's plugin,
they just work 'out-of-the-box' without having to use the system Python
or deal with PyWin.

Sorry to drag this one up after so long, thought I'd state the
resolution. Essentially it was due to pywin32 post install function
wigging out, but this never materialized as an issue since everything
else relying on it works fine. So if you ever find XSI does not start
up after flicking over to external python:
- try reinstalling pywin32 (it will probably state there was an
exception running the postinstall functionality).
- copy python27.dll to windows/system32/
Should be alright from then on.
hth someone, it's been a right pita for us.

You could also try using Process Monitor to see what's going on,
and to compare with a working install.

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.

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
