[Tutor] Script Crashing in Windows 2000

[Alan Trautman]

Brian,

Are you converting the Linux/Unix file format to Windows. i.e. \n the \r\n.
The is a Unix to windows converter on your Linux box if you did the default
install. It could be improper line termination causing it to fail on any
windows box.

Subject: [Tutor] Script Crashing in Windows 2000


I've written a python script for a fantasy hockey league I'm in, and I'm
using Python 2.1 on Mandrake Linux 8.2.  I have a friend who downloaded
Python 2.2 on his Windows 2000 and when he runs the script, it 'crashes'
after he enters a search criteria and hits enter.  The whole screen
disappears.  I'm hoping if I include the section of code I have
questions about that someone could offer advice. The following script is
stored in the same directory as two text files, "fwfha_skaters.txt" and
"fwfha_goalies.txt" and the script works well on my computer.  If
someone could tell my why it isn't working on Windows I'd be grateful.
