Never ever, ever, test anything for distribution inside an IDE! Always test it as it will be run - from the OS prompt or filemanager. IDEs can introduce subtle differences of behaviour that conceal bugs. Similarly never ever do a final test with debuggng code switched on or the debugger active, again the debugger can cause subtle changes in behaviour. > For example, when I run it in IDLE, and make a connection to the (camera) > h/w, a dos-like window appears that I otherwise never see.

I didn't write the (1600 line) program, but certainly am modifying it. Do you run it with python or pythonw, that might also make a difference.
