Seems to, at least on my 64-bit Win 7 system. (Note that I uninstalled Python 2.7.10 before installing 2.7.12. Not sure if that's strictly necessary but probably safer.)

Yup, my laptop was reproducing the crash with Python 2.7.11, but it runs scripts fine in the latest Golly 2.8 beta with Python 2.7.12. Looks like we can go back to recommending the latest version of Python -- finally!
