Pyscripter randomly locks up - still

[jlaispx]

This is a continuation of #641

This random "not responding" problem has been happening for the last 4 years. It happens several times an hour.

It is now 2021 and this problem still happens in Pyscripter 3.6.4.0 x64 and Python 3.9

The "solution" seems to be always "upgrade to latest version". This action, at no time, has prevented this error happening again. I have tried all the "tweaks" that people have suggested.

I have been trying to use Pyscripter for many many years, and like what it does in general. It is this problem that has forced me to move on to other IDE's that are more stable.

I hope you are able to solve it, otherwise I cannot recommend it to all my students.

Could you please try version 4 and report if the issue still occurs?

I used 3.x alot and got a hanging PyScripter from time to time, really very seldom. Using 4.x PyScripter (with Python39) hangs on a regular basis, mostly when using the interpreter window. KIlling PyScripter leaves a active, heavily working python alive, consuming cpu time. Updating the rpyc libraries did not change anything. I guess, there is some race condition decoupling PyScripter and python.exe when usigng rpyc.
