R. David Murray added the comment: Agreed, there's nothing for us to do here. It sounds like you may need to go to a help forum to work through your crash. If you learn things that you think it would be valuable to add to the docs, please do submit a doc enhancement issue/PR. -- nosy

Paul Moore added the comment: I'm a bit confused what you're asking for here. Certainly if you embed Python, you can get crashes, just as with any other C program. Pass an invalid pointer to a Python API, build your application and the Python DLL with incompatible C runtimes, free memory you d
