Hello all,

My python runs and crashes after another run. I am getting errors like
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

program c:\Python27\pythonw.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usuak way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Any Idea ?

my plot also does not work ? frustrating
