Comment 24 for bug 315996

    thanks, that helps a lot. It looks as if the python code ran essentially to completion before the crash occurred. The problem is either related to threading or the webbrowser import, both of which are unique to this extension.
    would you be willing to try one more experiment, this one is not destructive:

- open a DOS window, perhaps using Start->Run and typing in the command 'cmd'
- type the command : python
- type the command : import webbrowser
- type the command : webbrowser.open("http://inkscape.org/doc/keys046.html")
- type the command : exit()

on my machine this leads to a new browser window opening with Inkscape help.
attached is a trace of what my DOS window looked like after doing this.
