Close program built with py2exe

[Steve Ingram]

Found out what I'd done, and it wasn't py2exe causug the problem. I wasn't
 closing the main dialog properly, I was calling Close() instead of
Destroy(), so the dialog stayed in memory, basically it was still running.

Thanks for your help,

steve

have you checked if any exceptions occur during application shutdown?

it could be that the GUI toolkit manages to remove all windows, but that
something goes wrong at the application level before the GUI gets around
to shut down the message loop.
