Are you calling a script from the Start|Run menu, from a DOS box,
or IDLE? I'm not sure I can visualize what you're doing. If the
pythonwin interface is dying right away, then there's a problem.
You might have a corrupted installation, dll problems, etc. You
could try the old un-installing/re-installing trick...
You might want to try the ActiveState Python distribution for
win32. Check out:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePython/
for nice windoze installers for both Python 2.0 and 2.1 (and their
Komodo IDE is pretty cool, but it needs some horsepower to run
well).
