Calls of the form tesseract.XXXX(*args,api) crash Python 2.7

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Each of the 3 examples listed in Project Home result in IDLE crashing and 
requiring a shell restart
2. The error can be attributed to calls of the form tesseract.XXXX(*args,api) 
where api = tesseract.TessBaseAPI()

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Following the examples, I should see either the text output of the image 
supplied or the confidence values from the OCR algorithms.  Instead, I see the 
crash popup pictured in the attachment.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using Python 2.7 on Windows XP (SP3).  This issue has occurred with both 
version 0.7.5 and 0.8-1.6

Please provide any additional information below.
When I remove the aforementioned calls, the test programs run (without expected 
output of course).

Honestly, I don't know where the bug is. Why not using windows 7?

I have the same issue under Windows XP.
On machine with Windows 7 the same code does not cause any issue.
