Hi Vincent,
many thanks for your mail.

Some notes:

I'm working on an even tighter integration where PD objects can be directly
managed by object-oriented C or Python code, without the detour of message
generation. This can then be used for dynamic patching or just another
patcher system.

I'm not aware that the stack overflow happens under Windows as well - i
thought it's only when using linux.
Could you send me a simple patch with the crashing py/pyext-dyn combination?

I'll have to investigate but it may take a while since i'm not running jack
at the moment.

best greetings,
Thomas
