revitpythonshell: revit crashes from REPL but not from

Dear @daren-thomas ,

the following script - to export a sheet set as dwfs - runs fine when defined as external script but crashes every time when executed from RPS-REPL. (on RVT Arch2015 and 2016) Any idea why? I usually prototype in the (awesome) REPL and would hope to get the same effects as when code was run from button/journal.

Best, Frederic
