python-3.10.0-amd64 build corrupt?

[lohphat]

I installed the python-3.10.0-amd64 package and whenever I try to play a YT vid in a browser, my system would hang. Uninstalling this build fixes the problem. When I install the 3.10 build via the MSFT app store it's stable.

How do you know that the previous Python 3.10.0 installation caused the browser crash?
Can you reproduce the crash?

Python could only affect other processes, if Python runs.
If there is no Python process running or started, then Python could not be the cause.

If I have this package installed and play vids on YT it soon crashes. I remove it and the crashes stop. The other installer from the app store has not caused any crashes.

I've been replacing nVidia drivers and disabled h/w acceleration in Firefox and nothing stops the YT playback crashes other than removing this build. I was able to get the system to crash watching YT via Chrome too.

All I can imagine is that there's some library file that's in the path when this build is installed which is causing the problem.

The system doesn't BSOD -- the screen and mouse freeze while the audio continues in the background albeit it stutters. I have to hold the power button in to force shutdown and reboot.

I guess this could be the right direction.

Which package are you using?
