How do I figure out why Python is throwing this non-descriptive error in Windows 7 64 bit

I'm making graphs using scipy on python 2.7 on Windows 7 64 bit. I installed it from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/.

When running scripts, I'm periodically getting error boxes that say:

Title:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Message:

Runtime Error! Program: C:\Python27\pythonw.exe

This ap开发者_Go百科plication has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information

And that's it. How do I begin to figure out what is causing this error?

You could consider installing Visual Studio, and build and install Python and SciPy with debug symbols. When Python subsequently crashes, if I'm not completely mistaken Windows should be giving you the option of debugging it in Visual Studio.

Otherwise, I'd ask for assistance on one of the SciPy mailing lists.
