Python stdout and Win 2003

[Philippe Martin]

Hi,

I have a program at a customer's site that seems to have random problem
which eventually come down to not being able to read/write from serial
ports.

I trapped all the exceptions I could think of and all of them look like
this:
***********************************
(ACCESS CONTROL)Fri, 24 Feb 2006 02:07:18 +0000 : Traceback (most recent
call last):
  File "C
\Python24\lib\site-packages\SC\readers\SC_IDTech_MiniSmart_RS232.py", line
308, in Is_Card_Inserted
    print 'CARD NOT INSERTED'
IOError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor
***********************************

To me that means the print failed ... that stdout was not available anymore.

Am I correct? .... what could cause this.


Many thanks.

Philippe
