How does one debug a crash in python.exe (actually the debug info says
wxMSW...dll)? No console messages, no assertions nothing. And I don't
get the crash on my machine but one of my colleagues does.
My question has two parts - one general: how does one debug such
crashes in any situation. Two, in this specific case, the crash occurs
for my colleague when he selects a row in the grid and move the mouse.
He says it consistently crashes, while it never once has crashed for
me. We have different data views.
OS: XP Sp1
Python: 2.3.5
wxPython: 2.6.1.0
Any suggestions, ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kartic,
these are the really bad ones.

I'm no expert.
What does the crash say (Access Violation? C0000005)?

Drag or simply move?
Every time?

When you copy his data view on your machine and try out?
Or do I misundertand you?

I have requested that he send all that information from the Windows
error report.

Every time on a move.

Hmm.. I have not yet tried getting his version of the data to my
machine to take a look simply because it is an involved process. But I
am plan to do that sometime today or tomorrow.
I wonder if there is a debug version of wxPython that I can download.
The download section does not appear to have one.

There were some problems in wxWidgets about the 2.6.0 release;
maybe they are solved in the meantime, and because of Robins
absence, they are still in 2.6.1.0.

This would also interests me; try and error repetitions are
tiresome and livelong.

Hmm.. that is interesting. If I have time, I will build from CVS and
see if the crash goes away.
