For quite a while I have this weird problem on my Windows 10 machine. When trying to launch a Django server with (and sometimes even without) debugging on PyCharm, I get this error:
...
pydev debugger: process 10532 is connecting
Connected to pydev debugger (build 163.8233.8)
Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)
That's how it looks without debugging:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PyCharm\bin\runnerw.exe" D:\project\env\Scripts\python.exe D:/project/manage.py runserver 80
Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)
The strangest thing is that if I re-run, some of the times (1 success in about 4-6 reruns) it will launch successfully. I also couldn't reproduce this problem without PyCharm.
Specs: Windows 10 Pro, Pycharm (this happens on versions 5.x through 2016.3) x86 and x64 versions, Python 3.5x, Django 1.8-1.10.x.
Any ideas why this happens or how to get some more detailed info about the crash?
EDIT This is what the Event Viewer reports about the error:

EDIT 2 I've narrowed down the problem. The error appears to originate from restart_with_reloader
in autoreload.py
after this statement:
def restart_with_reloader():
while True:
args = [sys.executable] + ['-W%s' % o for o in sys.warnoptions] + sys.argv
if sys.platform == "win32":
args = ['"%s"' % arg for arg in args]
new_environ = os.environ.copy()
new_environ["RUN_MAIN"] = 'true'
# this line crashes the whole script
# I guess the problem arises in native code
exit_code = os.spawnve(os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, args, new_environ)
# debugger disconnects here
if exit_code != 3:
return exit_code
Maybe someone from the Python community has seen something similar?
