Hello, I am running WinXP SP2 with Python 2.5.1 and encountered the following issue:
I wrote a script that logs into my mail server, and checks for new messages every 20 seconds. When a new message is found, it displays a Windows tool tip and prints a line to console indicating a new message. When I run the script with python.exe (console), the script runs fine and checks for new messages in perpetuity (as it should). However, when I run the script with pythonw.exe (no console), the script prematurely exits after 10 or 15 minutes. For those 15 minutes, it works as it should, displaying tool tips when new messages arrive. Furthermore, when it exits prematurely, it appears to be exiting gracefully (I have an exit routine that logs out of the mail server and cleans up). Does anyone know why this might be the case? The lines printed to console are purely for diagnostic purposes. Otherwise, the two processes should be identical. Thanks! Brian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
