    1. COI've heard (can't remember where) that Cygwin python was buggy and crash prone. Other people are getting core dumps: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-06/msg00161.html. Either see if this happens with bs3, or more preferably, use native Windows python.

    2. CO@dilbert: Thanks for the suggestion, but as I wrote in the OP, bs4 does not produce a core dump in the interactive Python shell, only when it's imported in a script. Thus, seems the problem may not be with the Cygwin's Python.

    3. CONo I'm sure it is. Try running bs4 in the native CPython and I think you'll find it doesn't crash. In any case, importing python modules should never cause Python to core dump; even if the module is problematic, it would raise exceptions but the interpreter itself would not crash.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
