Py_Finalize() for Python 2.3 on Win32 causes exception

[Kari Hallfast]

Hi,
I'm a C++ programmer and I have just recently decided to use Python as an
embedded scripting language. I call Py_Initialize() , run a few scripts and
call PyFinalize() which causes an unhandled exception. My C++ program is a
debug version and I tried using the debug and release versions of the python
libs and dlls with the same results. I uninstalled Python 2.3 and installed
2.2.3 and everything works fine. I'm either not doing someting right or this
is a bug. I'm a complete newbie to Python so I don't really know what to do
or where to report this? Advice?
Thanks,
Kari

I'd recommend to post the smallest snippet of code which reproduces the
behaviour - the group comp.lang.pytho n is the right place for it IMHO.

best regards

Download the Python source code, compile the debug version, and use the
debug dll and find out where you get that exception. I also had some odd
exceptions in Py_Finalize at some point. I was doing something wrong but
never found out what actually.
