I posted the crash report a couple of weeks ago.... and there was no

I worked out for myself that it was readline causing the problem - but

ordinary console window for me :-(

I'll see if I can still find it...............

I've googled - but can't find any reference to 'Gary Bishop's python 
tools'... are they for cygwin python or 'real python' ? :-)
