    I found a work around although it is not desirable. It seems that the subprocess libary work in Test Complete. This will allow you to run program from cmd. This means that you can run python scripts with regular Python not test complete Python and capture the output of these programs. Code will be displayed below.

    testcompletescript.py:

    import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'C:\Python36\Lib\site-packages')
import subprocess


def testing123():
 testing = subprocess.getoutput("path\\to\\external\\script\\externalscript.py")
 Log.Message("output", str(testing))

    externalscript.py:

    import requests


def testing123():
    response = requests.get("https://www.google.com")
    print(response.content)

testing123()

      rec3 , just an addition to what Marsha said - please use the Report Generator tool to get the crash reports when raising a ticket with the Support Team. This should make the investigaion easier.

       

      Also, do share the results of the investigation with us:smileyhappy:
