odd problem with makepy

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Shooting blind here (no real clue :0) ):

	16D3C689-5F97-11D2-BC1F-0060B0B52EA7x0x1x1

is being reported as the correct module for AgilentPNA835x.Application,
while:

	16D3C689-5F97-11D2-BC1F-0060B0B52EA7x0x1x0

is being reported as the typelib on which you've run makepy.  I'm guessing
you recently installed an update from 1.0 to 1.1 of the server app.  There
is likely another entry in the makepy dialog pointing to the 1.1 server, if
not, you could try running gencache.ensurecache (or whatever that function's
called) and passing it the version spec 1,1 instead of 1,0 and see if that
generates the desired version of the file.

HTH,
Mike

Subject: odd problem with makepy


  I'm having a strange problem with makepy. This isn't a show-stopper,
since I figured out a workaround, but I wish I knew what is going wrong.

  Here's the problem: I used makepy to generate a .pyc file for a registered
COM server. For a while, everything was fine. But after about two weeks
of bliss, Python began complaining that it couldn't find the server:

>>> import pythoncom
>>> from win32com.client import *
>>> na
=Dispatch("AgilentPNA835x.Application",clsctx=pythoncom.CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER)
...
ImportError: No module named 16D3C689-5F97-11D2-BC1F-0060B0B52EA7x0x1x1

... and sure enough, there is no module with that name. But there is one
almost like it, except
that the list digit is a 0, not a 1. If  I rerun makepy during this session:
