[python-win32] debugging outlook addin

[Christian K.]

I need to debug an outlook addin written in python which crashes outlook 
in a reproducible manner. How could I do that? Is it possible to have 
the addin loaded from within a pdb session?
The addin uses the mapi msgstore wrappers from the spambayes project.
The crash occurs while the addin is starting a background job in a 
thread. MAPIInitialize is called by the new thread as required by the 
msdn docs. The thread then is busy for some tens of seconds exporting 
mailitems by calling MailItem.Save provided by the OOM. In general this 
works fine, but on one system outlook crashes after a while without any 
python traceback. Sometimes the problem will disappear, especially when 
I insert print statements in the export loop (heisenbug?).

Thasnk, Christian
