Playing around with Python and I'd thought I would see what I could do with the scripting in Cmud and Cmud Pro. I made a basic trigger and found that if exact python language isn't used then Cmud gets very angry and gives a runtime error and dies.

Anyone else experience a problem like this?

Nope. I'm using ActivePython to test this - if you're not, give more information on which WSH implementation of Python you're using. If I enter invalid syntax into an alias and run it from the command line, I get a standard "invalid syntax [Python ActiveX Scripting Engine]" CMUD syntax error dialogue, which isn't very descriptive, but is the proper way.

EDIT: I tell a lie. Hidden under the normal CMUD syntax error dialogue is the following:

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: D:\CMUD\cMUD.exe

This application requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

And pressing OK causes CMUD to close. However, I tested this with RubyScript and PerlScript as well, and neither of those caused a runtime error when calling invalid syntax. In addition, CMUD isn't developed with MS C++ and shouldn't have anything to do with it - I'm guessing that it's the Python scripting engine that's causing the error to appear, and not CMUD.
