makepy must be run after restart of pythonwin

[bk]

hi,

thank you for the hint, but i solved the problem myself.
i didnt knew that that the following two lines in py-script must be added:

from win32com.client import gencache
gencache.EnsureModule('{00062FFF-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}',0,8,0)

now it works fine. my skills in python in python are not really advanced, so
the python-mailinglists are good help for me.

so long
ben

I suggest you examine the attributes of win32com.client.constants. Perhaps
there is a case sensitivity issue. makepy can cause attributes that were
previously case insensitive to become case sensitive.

I also recall somewhere a discussion about win32com.client.constants not
being populated immediately. Consider waiting a moment after dispaching.
