Jerry does this happen even when Flexiglass is not running? Can you run that python command manually in a terminal? Can you reproduce the freeze when you do this? What is the last line of output before the script freezes? Can you copy and save the entire output from running that script manually? To make sure I understand correctly, you experienced a similar problem with LyX 2.1.x except that LyX did not crash. What is new in beta2 is that LyX crashes. Did I get that right? Thanks for your testing and help in debugging, Scott
