Problem with OTA and python.exe (Read 1618 times)

	Hi, I use VMICRO Pro to program an ESP8266 (WeMos D1 Mini) OTA. It works well except on thing: After the script has been uploaded python.exe will not allways exit automatically. It stays in memory and uses permanent 100% load of 1 cpu core. When I make another upload an addition instance of python.exe is started. It can happen that this new instance now work well or will also not be stopped. Is there a solution to fix this isue? Alex

	Not sure which tool chain version but you could take a look at the end of the python script to see why it's not ending. Do the processes terminate after 5 mins?

	Sometimes a get after a view minutes the message "The uploader returned an error". But even in this case the python.exe stays in memory. I looked to the espota.py file. at the end there is a call to "serve". In the serve-function there are a lot of "logging.info" calls. Maybe there is a way to find out where the logging is going to... And no: The process do not terminate after five minutes. The process stays until I terminate it in the task manager. The process is shown as a sub-process of Visual Studio. When I close Visual Studio the process is still there as a standalone process... About the tool chain version. I use: - Actual Arduino version (1.8.5) - all libraries and boards are up to date. - Visual Studio 2017 (up to date) - Visual Micro Pro (up to date) - Everything on Windows Pro Alex

	Does the process stay open when you upload with the arduino ide? The esp tool chain version is seen/installed via board manager.
