Run a script twice and Blender crashes

Support Basics & Interface
1

Windows ME, Blender 2.28c.

If I run any Python script twice (such as to create two geodesic domes), it crashes Blender. I have no idea if there is an error message on the MSDOS window because it closes too fast for me to read it…

I did a quick search and saw nothing about anyone else ever having experienced this problem, so I thought I’d ask.

Thanks, folks.

I doubt it, what does this do:

import Blender
print "Hi!"

If you are getting an error what you need to do is start blender from a terminal. I guess one easy-ish way to do this is to create a batch file.

"C:\Program Files\Blender Foundaton\Blender2.28c\blender"
pause

this will run blender (assuming that is where blender is) and print “Press Enter to continue” after blender finnishes.

or you can open a command prompt, then run blender.

Now, do you have python installed? (not that it is relavant)

I believe SysAdm was asking about this the other day, I dont’ know what it is though. (was S68, I only remember the S and the avatar)

I have the same problem, with a script I’m writing. I believed it was my poor Python skills, but it runs nicely on the latest CVS build. So get Ztonzy’s last Win build and try the script there!

Doubt all you like. It changes nothing.

Judging from your response, I seem to have given the wrong impression that I’m approaching this problem from the Python side. I am not. Beyond installing it and configuring my computer so Blender can find it, I know little to nothing about it. Yet.

What I am referring to is that every single script I have downloaded and run in Blender crashes it to the desktop if I run the script twice. Seemed a bit odd, so I thought I’d ask if it was just me. This does not mean that some script I have not tried won’t work, simply that my sample thus far has been 100% negative.

I forgot to mention before that it is Python 2.3.2. Perhaps it’s too new a version?

2.2.2

Some have used 2.2.3 with reported success.

indeed, you should use version 2.2.3 with blender

Sadly, this version crashes me too. Ah well.
