Here is a proof of concept patch that defines a context manager that disables the crash popups using SetErrorMode [0]. I tested it only on Windows 7 (and Linux, where it's a no-op). As an example, the patch fixes the crash popup caused by test_capi. [0]: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms680621%28v=vs.85%29.aspx FWIW I attempted to use WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule too, and I was able to access it from ctypes.windll.kernel32.WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule on Win7, but then it wanted me to define a DLL with 3 functions, so I tried to find a simpler solution.

FWIW I attempted to use WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule too, and I was able to access it from ctypes.windll.kernel32.WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule on Win7, but then it wanted me to define a DLL with 3 functions, so I tried to find a simpler solution.
