OK, I can reproduce the problem on a clean virtual machine running a pristine XP home SP2. No Python was previously installed. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Python 3.2.1 MSI from http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.1/ 2. Run IDLE from start menu 3. Close IDLE 4. A pythonw.exe process stays running after IDLE has exited Running steps 2-3 N times leaves N pythonw.exe processes alive
