hard crash when calling send_command() with eyelink about pygaze

[smathot]

Hi Daniel,

For me this works fine on Windows XP. Could you try to trace this down further? send_command() is just a wrapper around this:

import pylink
pylink.getEYELINK().sendCommand("my message")

What happens if you send commands directly with PyLink? It would be weird if calling send_command() always crashes always, because it is heavily used internally.

Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Hi Sebastiaan,

I finally got around testing this. It also crashes when you call the sendCommand function directly through pylink. Weirdly enough, this does not happen when using the old eyelink plugins...

I tested this on Windows 7 with the latest snapshot of pygaze. This is the error output

Not that this will probably mean anything to you, but just for the sake of completeness. eyelink_core.dll appears to be the culprit.

The pylink version appears to be 1.0.0.43. I might try upgrading (if it's possible to find a newer version. the SR forum is quite a mess)
