PyRun_SimpleFile() crashes on Windows but not on Unix; why?
1160
This is very sensitive to the compiler vendor, version and (perhaps) even options. If the FILE* structure in your embedding program isn't the same as is assumed by the Python interpreter it won't work.

The Python 1.5.* DLLs (``python15.dll``) are all compiled with MS VC++ 5.0 and with multithreading-DLL options (``/MD``).
1162
If you can't change compilers or flags, try using :cfunc:`Py_RunSimpleString`. A trick to get it to run an arbitrary file is to construct a call to :func:`execfile` with the name of your file as argument.
1163
Also note that you can not mix-and-match Debug and Release versions. If you wish to use the Debug Multithreaded DLL, then your module *must* have an "_d" appended to the base name.
