[Eric] eric4 problem on Vista: pythonw.exe has stopped working

[Wilde, Marion G]

Sir,

Python is run from a DOS window; the trick I've found to make it close the window after 
executing a python script is to "call xxxx.py" rather than transferring control to it.

Here are two small code snippets that may help:

test.bat

	@echo off
	call c:\python2.4\python test.py
	exit

test.py

	import os
	os.listdir(os.getcwd())
	# kill time loop so that the display is visible long
	# enough to see it
	for i in range (50000000):
		pass 

I've executed this on my Windows XP machine, and it works to close the DOS window when the
program exits.

Thanks for suggestions.
I'm trying to compile PyQt.

In the meantime I cas report the debug messages of eric4.
The last message appears when I close the program.
It seems that eric4 is not the problem. : )

Ciao ciao.
