thank you i did find solution i did have just change: 

     unpackedData = struct.unpack(unpackFormat, data)  to

     unpackedData = struct.unpack(unpackFormat, data.decode('string_escape'))

Next time you report an error, please include the whole traceback, not 
just the exception message. That information is included for a reason.
 
You might also want to print out the value of data in your updcrc 
function, since that is where the problem is occurring.
 
Finally I might point out there is little point to the struct.unpack 
since you don't use its result, but I am guessing this is because your 
algorithm is currently in transition.

Nope. Do not see it. My ugly stupid way works. I guess I will just proceed with that and write my howto accordingly.

You REALLY should read some material on how HTTP works. I'll try to sketch

a few important points. First, suppose you have an HTML page (album.html)
with two images in it:

<html><body>
<p>This is me: <img src="/images/myself.jpg">
and this is my cat <img src="/images/garfield.jpg">

</body></html>

Suppose the URL for that page is http://some.server.com/gabriel/album.html
and you type that in your favorite browser. This is what happens:

1) The sees the initial "http:" and says "I'll use HTTP". Then sees
"some.server.com" and opens a connection to that server on port 80. Then

sees "/gabriel.album.html" and builds an HTTP GET request for it.
2) The server receives the GET request, looks for the "album.html"
document, determines the right Content-Type, and returns it specifying

"Content-Type: text/html"
3) The browser receives the HTML text and tries to display it. When it
encounters the first <img> tag it looks at the src attribute; it doesn't
know that image; so a *NEW* HTTP request is required. This time it says

"GET /images/myself.jpg"
4) The server receives the GET request, looks for a file with that name,
determines that it's a jpeg image, and returns its contents along with a
"Content-Type: image/jpeg".

5) The browser receives the image and is able to display it.
6) The same thing happens with the second <img> tag, there is a third HTTP
GET request for it.

Note that:
- The images themselves *aren't* in the HTML page, they are somewhere

else. HTML is text and contains ONLY the URI for the image.
- THREE DIFFERENT requests are done to show that page. Each one returns A
SINGLE OBJECT of A SINGLE TYPE.

The above was using static HTML with static images. If you use CGI to

generate dynamic content, it's the same thing. From the browser point of
view, there is no difference: it still will generate three different
requests for the three pieces (one html document with two images).

Your CGI script (or scripts) will receive three different requests then:
when requested for HTML, return HTML; when requested for an image, return
an image. They are DIFFERENT things, DIFFERENT requests, happening at

DIFFERENT times, so don't mix them.

I think that combining Steve's responses and mine you now have enough
information to be able to solve your problems. Perhaps if you re-read the
whole thread from start you'll have now a better understanding of what's

happening.

Thanks for the info.
 
To call a dll function, it needs a C style IDispatch*. PyIDispatch is
a python wrapped one. I found a reference from:
 
http://svn.python.org/projects/ctypes/trunk/comtypes/comtypes/test/test_win32com_interop.py
 
which shows how to convert C style to python style. Unfortunately i
need the reversed version.
 
I will post the question to python-win32.

I've had a quick look at the PyIDispatch source and I can't see any obvious
way in which the underlying IDispatch is exposed. May have missed something,
but it's possible that there's not way out.

 Interestingly, you could solve this by using python 3. :-)
 round(x[, n])
    Return the floating point value x rounded to n digits after the
decimal point. If n is omitted, it defaults to zero. Values are
rounded to the closest multiple of 10 to the power minus n; if two
multiples are equally close, rounding is done toward the even choice
(so, for example, both round(0.5) and round(-0.5) are 0, and
round(1.5) is 2). Delegates to x.__round__(n).
 
 My turn: ;-)
 
def yaround(x):
    i = int(x)
    f = x - i
    if f != 0.5 and f != -0.5: return round(x)
    return 2.0*round(x/2.0)
 
a = (-10.0, -9.0, -8.0, -4.6, -4.5, -4.4, -4.0, -3.6, -3.5,
     -3.4, -0.6, -0.5, -0.4, 0.0, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.9, 1.0,
     1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 10.0, 100.0)
 
b = (-10.0, -9.0, -8.0, -5.0, -4.0, -4.0, -4.0, -4.0, -4.0,
     -3.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0,
     1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, 10.0, 100.0)
 
for i in range(len(a)):
    assert yaround(a[i]) == b[i]
