catch/block assertion pop-up?

[Christoffer Hulusjo]

Hi.

I'm using a 32bit Python module to control a graphics application (Eyeon
Fusion), that the developer of the application has released to allow
python scripting. The module is known to have a bunch of bugs and the
company that made it tells me that there is not a scheduled update
anytime soon.
I'm using simple commands that allows me to access the applications
function, it looks something like this.

.....
fusionApp.Connect()
settingsTable = fusionApp.GetSettings()
.....

The problem is that on some specific functions (which actually works
and returns the requested data), it outputs assertion errors, which is a
pop-up window like this...

"Fusion Assert" (title)
"File: FusionScript.cpp"
"Line: 361"
"Condition: false"
"Debug, Disable, Skip" (buttons)

So I'm getting all the data I need, but the popup error assertion makes
my application useless as it could halt for user interaction at any
time. By the looks of the error message it seems to be something
actually happening in a c++ dll that the python module wraps to connect
to the host application.

I can't wait for the developer to update the library so my question is,
Are there any way to suppress/block/catch dialogs that are poping up or
assertions? it doesn't trigger any exception so I cant use try, catch.

I'm using Python 2.5.2 32bit build on Windows XP 64bit OS.


Best regards
Christoffer
