[python-win32] Application exception in Python.dll

[Tom_RobbinsMilne@swissre.com]

Hi,

I have a series of python programs that communicate over sockets. 
The server is using asyncore, the clients just the bare socket library.
The system is just storing strings of XML associated with a particular 
name, kinda like a poor man's file system.

The trouble is that it mostly runs fine, but every once in a while (lots 
of activity each day, but trouble once every week or so) one of the 
applications dies mysteriously. Is there anyway to track down the trouble? 
Would a different version of python be better? These processes are 
launched and then run until they die. I'm thinking of bouncing them 
nightly, but would prefer to find the trouble and fix it.  Advice very 
much appreciated.

The error I'm getting is:
 Event viewer:
Faulting application python.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module 
python24.dll, version 2.4.150.1012, fault address 0x000t2f60
Doctor Watson:
                The application, C:\Python24\python.exe, generated an 
application error.
                ....
                The exception generated was c0000005 at address 1E07EF60 
(python24!PyObject_GetAttr).


BTW, I did post a query awhile ago about launching excel as part of this 
system, which would respond to a remote query. I have that working, but 
we're not in production yet so I thought I'd hold off on letting y'all 
know that it worked until it actually got used in anger.
 
Thanks,
Tom
