Re: [Visualpython-users] Re: scene.exit=0

What you're seeing has not been reported by anyone else. As far as I 
know, you're the only user experiencing the disastrous behavior you 
report, that starting from IDLE you can run only once before everything 
closes down. This has nothing to do with the scene.exit bug, which 
everyone experiences (if they use that not very commonly used feature).

The uniqueness of your experience suggests something odd about your 
particular computer environment, but I have no idea what the problem is. 
One thing you might try, in desperation, is to uninstall VPython, then 
uninstall Python, then reinstall.
