    Pythonwin crashes

    Does anyone else have a problem with Pythonwin crashing after running a
    python script with graphics libraries? Whenever I use Pythonwin to run
    a PyGame or PyOgre script, Pythonwin crashes when the script exits.

    I know it's probably because the Pythonwin interpreter can't read from
    the console once the graphics mode has been changed, but has anyone
    discovered a workaround? I'd like to know if this problem is specific
    to my machine, or if others have witnessed this.

    Thanks
    Tim

      I think it's pretty much universal. Pythonwin crashes when you run
      programs with Tk in them.

          The problem is that PythonWin uses MFC-based windowing, and runs
          programs as a part of the same process that the IDE itself runs in.

          This means that there are conflicting requirements for windowing, and
          this can lead to PythonWin getting confused enough to crash and die.

          To avoid this you need a development system that uses a remote debugging
          technique - WingIDE, for example, can successfully debug programs based
          on Tkinter, wxPython and other graphical toolkits, because the programs
          it runs are run as separate processes.

          regards
