FIXED: Simple python thread causes instant crash

Bugs
1

This happens in both 20140 and 33840 64 bit on Windows 10. but not 20140 on Mac.

Simply go to the TextPort and enter:

import _thread
def test():
    print('test')
_thread.start_new_thread(test, ())

This causes the application to instantly crash. Cannot create a simple python thread in any context in the application.

This happens on multiple PCs.

Hello.
Looks like the same crash that was recently fixed:

We should be posting an update soon.

Cheers

I hit run on that code and TouchDesigner instantly dies (TD crashes and the process goes away without warning or error). Version 33840. Win 10 x64.

It does look like it works if I don’t use a print statement.
