Python on shared network drive?

[Chris Goudy]

Hello,

I'm thinking of using Python to send email to users if they check out
a piece of
equipment and forget to return it.

I use python in batch jobs to accomplish small tasks like this. 

The problem is that for this particular script I need to return rows
from an
Access database using WIN32COM that is included in PythonWin.

The previous installation of Python was 1.52, and in order to run it
you needed to move Python152.dll from WINNT\SYSTEM to the root of
where I installed it on the network drive.

After doing this Python ran fine and could be used with submitted
batch jobs.

Well with WIN32COM, python doesn't recognize WIN32API and some other
.dlls when you try to import WIN32COM.client

On my local PC, the DLL's are fine, but if I use another PC, it can't
find them. I think this may have to do with registry settings.  I
imagine the Server will encounter the same problems when running the
job.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem. Can I use win32com on a
shared network drive?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Chris Goudy.
