if I modify the .inx file to have a dependency on a python file as well, and if that python file consists of the following 2 lines of code :
import sys, subprocess
subprocess.Popen('pstoedit -f plot-svg "%s"' % (sys.argv[1]))

then the pstoedit program appears to execute normally and it appears to generate proper svg output, and that output shows up in the popup DOS window for one second and then disappears.

So there seems to be some confusion as to who is "stdout"
There are in this case no crashes and no unusual messages other than the message saying "Failed to Load"
