I remember doing 'dir()' and that's it... probably hit a few cursorkeys out of habit. I was discussing something with a ^@#$*(*#%* suit (the not-very-intelligent type) and our CEO (who was very interested in the strange windows, because he thought I was doing something with ADSL :) at the same time, so I don't remember exactly what I did. I might have hit ^D before ^Z, though I do remember actively thinking 'must use ^Z' while starting python, so I don't think so. When I did roughly the same things after a reboot, all seemed fine. And yes, I did reboot after installing, before trying things the first time. > > And then I started IDLE, and IDLE started up, the menus worked, I could open > > a new window, but I couldn't type anything.

The bluescreen came after my entire explorer froze up, so I'm not sure if it has to do with python crashing. I found it particularly weird that my 'python' interpreter wouldn't exit, and the IDLE windows were working (ie, Tk working) but not accepting input -- they shouldn't interfere with each other, should they ? My laptop is reasonably stable, though somethines has some strange glitches when viewing avi/mpeg's, in particular DVD uhm, 'backups'. But I'm used to Windows crashing whenever I touch it, so all in all, I think this: > On the other hand your laptop might have been screwy already by that > time... Since all was fine after a reboot, even doing roughly the same things. I'll see if I can hit it again sometime this weekend. (A full weekend of Python and Packing ! No work ! Yes!) And I'll do my girl a favor and install PySol, so she can give it a good testing :-) -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
