It seems I encountered issue #17797: http://bugs.python.org/issue17797 Should I update the bug with my config? (i.e.: native x64 GUI application embedding version 3.5a2, built with MSVC2013 SP4) Don't even know if I can as a guest... It is unclear to me whether or not a workaround will be implemented in 3.5 branch for pre-MSVC2015 compilers. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
