pythonwin crash when printing large string (10K)

[David Lees]

It does not crash on my Win98SE box using the same version of
PythonWin.  However, there is a noticable lag (maybe a 1/2 second) for
susequent pythonWin commands after executing your print.  One question
to ask is why do you want to print such a long string.  If you assign
the string to a variable you can access it in little pieces that fit on
your screeen with little stress on resources.  For example:

>>> x = 'largestring'*1000
>>> print x[1100:1111]
largestring
