This thread hasn't been close to Python for while now and should be shut down. But, it is actually kind of interesting since you debate possible mechanisms behind the behaviour of my Windows box at work: "Not responding" is happening to me daily for any application including Microsoft's own Office Suite. I hoped it would go away when we moved from Vista to W7 but it didn't.
In all fairness, our computers have both corporate and HP crapware installed so Microsoft may be innocent. Coming from many years of SUN Solaris experience I may be a bit spoiled when it comes to robustness :-) Now, let's leave this behind and spend time on Python -- something I with a formal programming education dating back to 1980 and F77 find fascinating. /Martin -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
