Subject: [python-win32] Exchange event
Message-ID: <9a7a0cc50609041419w25f7524bib5bf3d39dfd03bd3@mail.gmail.com>

I wrote a small application for an exchange server to catch asynchronous
save email invents on a particular exchange inbox.  Everything was working
fine until a co-working pointed out that if two emails are sent to the inbox
very quickly in succession (ie. automated), the application doesn't process
the first email.  I know the email event is caught because the Url prints
properly, but none of the Message Object data will print out.  I've included
my OnSave function below and an example of the trace collecter output, as
you can see in the trace collecter output self.InEmail.From doesn't print
out the correct "jabraham at kelsan.com" <jabraham at kelsan.com>.  I've spent a
few days on this already so if anybody knows what I'm doing wrong, I'd
really appreciate your help.

The process is:
class AutoPilot:
    _public_methods_ = IExStoreSyncEvents_methods
    _com_interfaces_ = ['IExStoreAsyncEvents']


    _reg_clsid_      = "{D7CDBFB7-7B49-4EA4-9F8E-47152ED86991}"
    _reg_progid_     = "AutoPilot"
    _reg_desc_       = "QCM AutoPilot Response System"

        # IExStoreSyncEvents interfaces
    def OnSave(self, pEventInfo, strUrl, lFlags):
        'Called by a store when an item is saved.'

        self.ActionRequired = 'None'
        self.Confirmation = 'No'

        print strUrl
        self.InEmail = Dispatch("CDO.Message")
        self.InEmail.DataSource.Open(strUrl,None,0x1,-1,0x800000,"","")
        print '****From'
        print self.InEmail.From
        print '******'


The trace collecter shows:

The only thing I can suggest is to ensure that both notifications come on
the same thread.  If 2 different threads call OnSave on the same object,
then self.InEmail will not be reliable (although it still isn't clear how
that would cause an empty subject).  From your code, it seems storing
InEmail in self isn't necessary anyway...

Otherwise, try searching outside the Python universe - you may find the
problem described and explained by someone using the exact same technique
but using a different language.

Hallo,

I try to print every member of a windows doamin-group, the username as
well as the group
name. But I just receive the usernames and no groupnames, where is my
fault? 

Here is a small codesnip from a large script of attemps.


codesnip:
###################################################################

import win32net

dict = win32net.NetGroupGetUsers(r'\\domain.com', 'GROUP', 1)
for line in dict[0]:
    print line

########################################################################
####


Thanks a lot of any hint, Matthias

I'm not sure what you were expecting.  That request asks for all of the
users in group "GROUP".  The group name is "GROUP", because that's what
you specified.

If you can hold your feets until tomorrow (CEST) i'll post an example 
when i am back at work.
I have just finished a script which does exactly that part in addition

According to the MSDN documentation, NetGroupGetUsers is used to list
the members of a "global group", and a "global group" can only contain
domain users.  It cannot contain other groups.

Local groups can contain other groups, but you use
NetLocalGroupGetMembers to examine those.

I thought I'd check here in case anyone has already connected django to IIS.


I tried the PyISAPIe, but it doesn't do what django needs and I guess I should 
have looked around at win32 before doing that.

It seems the isapi stuff will do what I want and there's already a model of 
mapping the ISAPI stuff to a python dispatcher at

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoin_ISAPI

Does anyone know if that works as advertised? I'm really not familiar with ISAPI 
terminology, but I can sort of follow that program. Am I right in thinking that 
the install phase somehow creates the dll etc etc?

Hi,

This should be possible as Taskmanager tracks CPU usage for every

You could try http://isapi-wsgi.python-hosting.com/ if django can be
run as a WSGI app (which I believe it can).

TaskManager and perfmon get this information from the Win32 performance
counters.  Unfortunately, the performance counter API is a bit verbose. 
Python-Win32 does include a wrapper library, win32pdh, but I admit I've
never used it.

Still, that should give you enough Google search terms to find the
information...

It should.  The isapi extensions in pywin32 are quite stable and very much
alive.  I'd be happy to help address any ISAPI specific issues that are
found.

Yeah - pywin32 comes with an ISAPI 'stub'.  When a specific extension is
installed, that stub is copied and delegates to a Python module with the
same name.  In the pywin32 isapi/samples directory, you will find a trivial
little 'proxy' application you can experiment with.

Well I thought I'd give the isapi module a twirl as it seemed it would be easy, 
but with IIS 6 running on a virtual Win Server 2003 Web edition I fell at the 
first hurdle. The hosted environment is as standard as I can make it (apart from 
being on a virtual machine).

Did the advanced.py install dance and see that a virtual folder has appeared and 
that there's a new application in the extension pool. I recycled the 
applications and restarted the server, but no matter I cannot get the right page 
to appear at

http://localhost/AdvancedPythonSample/

Just in case I checked and made sure that the  IWAM_XXX and IUSR_XXX accounts 
for the machine both had read and execute permissions, but am unable to get the 
expected result.

As an experiment I tried the same thing on another machine with IIS 5.1, but 
there I get the following error when running the install

C:\Python\Lib\site-packages\isapi\samples>advanced.py install
Configured Virtual Directory: AdvancedPythonSample
Traceback (most recent call last):

     raise AttributeError, "%s.%s" % (self._username_, attr)
AttributeError: IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC.AddExtensionFile

despite this it seems that the application produces a page. However, no matter 
what I try I cannot get the page to say anything other than "This module has 
been imported 0 times". removeing the pyc's and or editing the .py seemed to 
have no effect.

Anyone had better luck with IIS 6?

The message above means that the app is working. The page reload counter 
script does not work but the ISAPI dll is displaying a page.

Don't know about your other problems. I've been able to get IIS + ISAPI 
to work in IIS6 on Win2k3R2.

Hey Guys,

We have been C developers for years and have decided to try a couple
projects using Python. I'm very excited about the potential gains we mayl
achieve using this language.

We have a couple .SWF files that I want to play with a Python application.
I've installed Python for Windows and did some reading about the COM
controls. I've been able to import a Flash COM object but not having much
success making the movie PLAY. I also found an article detailing how to use
wxPython with Flash...but I was wondering if it was possible to NOT use
wxPython.

Are there any samples that I could use to get my Flash movie up and running?

Cheers!

Thanks Dave, I think I figured out the problem with II6. There's an 
additional tab in IIS mmc called Extensions and I had to add the 
_advanced.dll there and enable it before the AdvancedPythonSample folder 
would work.

Flash needs a window to play in.  wxPython is probably the easiest way
to get that window, but you can also create windows using win32ui and
PythonWin.  PythonWin is a relatively thin layer around MFC.  If you've
done MFC for years, that might feel more comfortable.  There are samples
in the python-win32 distribution.

However, in the long term, I suspect you'd be happier with wxPython...

Guys,

I have a simple script that will create a window and print "Hello World".
What I want to do is import this script into another script which control
may program. The problem I'm having is with the Import path. When I move my
"Hello World" script away from the development directories the path gets
lost and Python can not find the modules.

As a C++ developer I would simply compile my project statically....which
includes all of the libraries in one place/package. How do I do this with
Python?

For argument's sake, let's say your new code is saved as HelloWorld.py in a directory named modules, which is a sub-directory under your main project files directory.  Some may disagree, but using a single directory like this for all your custom modules is a good method.
 
import sys
sys.path.append("./modules")
import HelloWorld

This was due to IIS6 providing "unlimited length style" filenames (eg,
"\\?\c:\etc")  I've recently fixed that in the source here so will be fixed
in the next release.  In the mean time, you may want to check your
sys.path[0] entry - it is likely to also be a path in such a format.  Simply
ripping the first 4 chars from that path entry should work (and indeed is
what my patch does).

The AttributeError should have been fixed in pywin32 build 205 - we now
catch and ingore that AttributeError, so you may like to upgrade pywin32
versions...

Cheers,

Mark

duh I saw the funny filename in the trace output, but it didn't click.

Anyhow, I guess the main problem will be figuring out what to do about the extra
"Web Services Extension" tab in IIS 6. Strangely I think that filters work 
without extra complication, but an extension needs an extra step ie entering and 
enabling in the WSE list.

Can you please try with the latest pywin32?  The samples work find for me,
and I am regularly using these extensions with IIS6.  If you continue to
have trouble I'll help dig deeper...

Reading the Python tutorial may help

Subject: [python-win32] How to implement a COM interface (that is not part
	of a COM class)
Message-ID: <cb324d430609131410x2b1990e4h7481ca0042fd8b12@mail.gmail.com>

Hi -- the COM object I'm working on has a number of methods I am able
to use fairly well by following the various win32com examples around.

However, one of the methods' arguments takes a callback that
"implements an interface" (I'm new to win COM terminology but I think
this phrase has a specific context when applied here -- my guess is an
'interface' is similar to a 'template' in C++?).

I searched for examples of implementing callbacks such as this one:

class ContextEvents(win32com.client.getevents("SAPI.SpSharedRecoContext")):
   """Called when a word/phrase is successfully recognized  -
       ie it is found in a currently open grammar with a sufficiently high
       confidence"""
   def OnRecognition(self, StreamNumber, StreamPosition,
RecognitionType, Result):
       newResult = win32com.client.Dispatch(Result)
       print "You said: ",newResult.PhraseInfo.GetText()

However, in my case, the interface is not associated with any class
that I can find,
so I can't use DispatchWithEvents or getevents to get an object to
subclass from.  (When I try to use getevents on the clsid of the
interface from the makepy generated file, it returns None)

I think the post here outlines a similar problem:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2004-May/001990.html

Is there some obvious way to do this that I'm missing?
In the VB version of the program I'm trying to re-implement in python,
it seems to be able to
implement the interface by simply calling "Implements Foo" and subclassing by
"Private Sub Foo_OnSomeEvent(..."

Thanks for any help!

Any pointers (page nos, URLs, example code)? Thanks.

This may clarify my issue.  I found this in the VB help:

    ' Test to see if there is a copy of Microsoft Excel already running.
    On Error Resume Next
    ' Getobject function called without the first argument returns a
    ' reference to an instance of the application. If the application isn't
    ' running, an error occurs.
    Set MyXL = Getobject(, "Excel.Application")
    If Err.Number <> 0 Then ExcelWasNotRunning = True

I'd like to do the same thing with my app.  How can I register the COM
server and/or tell Windows that my application is now running so that
I get the same behavior as the above?  I don't want an instance of my
server class created in a new Python process; I want the existing,
running Python process.

Basically, you must:
* Arrange for your process to be started
* In your process, create a COM server object - ie, create an object with
the _public_methods_ etc attributes, then use win32com.server.wrap to wrap
it
* Call pythoncom.RegisterActiveObject passing it this object.

That should be enough to have GetObject attach to your instance.

You should be able to implement it just as you would a small COM server.
Basically, your class would need to specify the interface with
 _com_interfaces_=[iid of Foo]
and define an event method.
def OnSomeEvent(self,.....):

Can anyone help me nut out what happened to the COM interface to
iTunes with the iTunes 7 upgrade?

    iface = "iTunes.Application"

    iTunes.Stop()

I'm trying both static and dynamic dispatch, with no success, yet the

I'd much appreciate ANY help anyone can offer with this one. We don't

Hi Garth,

I've been developing a py2exe app that dispatches a COM object since  
iTunes 4 and I've seen this problem a bit.

I'm not exactly sure what causes it, I think in certain circumstances  
the iTunes installer can fail to register the type library.  
Reinstalling iTunes usually solves the problem. It also seems as  
though win32com and py2exe are more sensitive to this.

Message-ID: <9D4F7EF13ED8B5428EF6DF9FF0EADC55EFDEE7@TXCLMAIL01.ameripath.local>

I was wondering if there is a way for Python to access the WOL bios
settings on a Win32 system and enable it.  Either by directly accessing
the information, or using WMI/etc. to process the change.

 

Previously, I thought that direct BIOS access in Windows NT+ could not
be done.  However, from what appears to be here:

http://support2.jp.dell.com/docs/software/smdccu/1.2/ug/dccuusg.htm

It looks like Dell at least has worked around that.

 

At the very least, I suppose I could try to detect the Make/Model via
WMI and do a system call to a 3rd party app such as DCCU to process the
change.  I would prefer not to do that though, since it seems that other
vendor's solutions such as IBM's
(http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-414
72) is not nearly as clean (it requires booting off a floppy and
rebooting and such).

 

Any help would be appreciated!

It's not looking likely with WMI. The Win32_BIOS class
offers only a dozen-and-a-half properties and no
methods (on my WinXP box). I honestly can't see
any solution other than call out to 3rd party routines.

I've checked the WMI Google Group 
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.win32.programmer.wmi
which is usually a good source of info, but there's
nothing obvious jumping out. By all means try posting
there to see if any of the real WMI experts have any
insight.

Thanks for the clues. I had trouble getting my app to do anything in
response to COM messages, but some further digging revealed
pythoncom.PumpWaitingMessages, which the event loop could poll or or
it could run in a separate thread.

I will write this up as a recipe in the Python Cookbook; any comments

Thanks again!

The 'busy loop' looks ugly to my eyes.  It can be solved by importing
win32gui, then changing the Quit method to:

    def Quit(self):
        win32gui.PostQuitMessage(0)

and the entire busy loop gets replaced with:

    pythoncom.PumpMessages()

That obviously breaks the 'loops' variable though.

I also changed the if __name__ block to:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    register()
    main()
    unregister()

That way, running it as a script "does the right thing" in a single step.

Cheers,

Mark

Subject: [python-win32] Pythonwin
Message-ID: <450F26DE.9030109@voidspace.org.uk>

Hello all,

I'm trying to get Pythonwin working with Movable Python.

The first step was to try using a pure Python version of the executable. 
(Code reproduced below).

This appears to work (both for installed Python and Movable Python) - 
however their are various minor problems I need to resolve.

I don't mind maintaining a patched version, but would appreciate some 
clues. :-)

The first issue is that the run script dialog doesn't appear- instead 
the file open dialog appears, and re-appears when closed. This happens 
whenever the python version is run - whether from normal Python or 
Movable Python.

I've isolated the problem (well - at least partly) to the 
'scriptutils.py' file.

It is in the line 'if dlg.DoModal() != win32con.IDOK:' (I've messed up 
line numbers sorry) in the 'RunScript' function.

When dlg.DoModal is called, DlgRunScript.OnBrowse is activated somehow...

The Python version of the executable is :

import sys
import win32ui
# importing 'intpyapp' automatically registers an app object.
from pywin.framework import intpyapp

# Remove this script name from sys.argv, else Pythonwin will try and 
open it!
sys.argv = sys.argv[:-1]
# Get the MFC "app" object and boot it up.
app = win32ui.GetApp()
app.InitInstance()
app.Run()
app.ExitInstance()


All the best,

I can't repro this - if I start Pythonwin via that script, then click on the
'run' icon in the toolbar, I see the 'run script' dialog correctly shown.

Message-ID: <32dab3890609190116u1bd8f962q20329218566142eb@mail.gmail.com>

When I execute the code here
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/355593 I get the
following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\Documents and Settings\Derick\Desktop\test.py", line 73, in ?
frame = TestFrame ()
 File "C:\Documents and Settings\Derick\Desktop\test.py", line 23, in
__init__
self.nextWnd = win32clipboard.SetClipboardViewer (self.hwnd)
pywintypes.error: (126, 'SetClipboardViewer', 'The specified module could
not be found.')
Script terminated.

I have run dependency walker and found that all the dlls load fine. The
other win32clipboard functions work fine as well, like getting and setting
the clipboard contents. I have found that SetClipboardViewer ( self.hwnd)
should be in user32.dll but I have the same version installed as on my PC at
work where the program runs without a problem.

The strange thing is that all the other functions I tried work fine, which
would indicate that I might be using an old version of some dll - the
function might not exist in the module dll I'm using. user32 doesn't seem at
fault though since it is the same on both PC's...

What could be the problem? Google couldn't teach me anything on this problem

This code doesn't work:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/355593

But this does - even though it uses the same module:

import win32clipboard as w
import win32con

def getText():
    w.OpenClipboard()
    d=w.GetClipboardData(win32con.CF_TEXT)
    w.CloseClipboard()
    return d

def setText(aType,aString):
    w.OpenClipboard()
    w.EmptyClipboard()
    w.SetClipboardData(aType,aString)
    w.CloseClipboard()

Curious - I'll try it on another computer.

The 'run script' feature definitely doesn't work with Movable Python,
but I expect that's because it isn't using 'sys.executable' to find the
interpreter. (I suspect it uses the registry to locate the version of
Python - but I may be wrong. I expect to have to make a few
modifications to Pythonwin.)

Thanks for trying this Mark.

The problem is that it runs only when it is in c:\windows\system32 or in

Starting the service with the script only in Y:\ gives the error in the

How are you running this?  Are you running it from a command line, or
from inside an IDE, or double-clicking on the desktop, or what?  Which
version of Python?  Remember that, using Python 2.4 as an example,
python24.dll and pywintypes24.dll must be present in the DLL search
path, and that the environment variables for a proess started by
Explorer are not necessarily the same as the variables for a
command-line shell.

Is it possible you have multiple copies of Python installed, and that
the Explorer file association is pointing to the wrong one?  If you go
to a cmd shell and do "assoc .py" and then "ftype python.file" (assuming
that's what assoc said), does it point to the path you expect?

This is not a Python error, it's generated by your script...

I ran it on python.exe, pressed F7, then  loaded my .py file by specifying
the filename in the arguments field.

I get the same errors whether I run it via the comand line, desktop
double-click (quick read to see the errors)
or SPE (my IDE of choice). The dlls are found, the problem is with the
SetClipboardViewer
function - which, I assume is a module inside a dll (user32.dll, I believe).
I might be assuming too
much - It could be something else entirely, but it seems to only affect
SetClipboardViewer.

Is there any way I could have broken the clipboard view chain in a way that
doesn't fix itself after a restart?

Is it possible you have multiple copies of Python installed, and that

Nope.  Only  python 2.4.3 is installed.  I upgraded from 2.4.2 hoping it
would solve
the problem. Following the instructions you gave me in your last paragraph
doesn't show me anything unexpected. The path seems to be correct.

Puzzling.

Dear Shakir,

It is a good idea when asking questions about problems like this to
(1) say what efforts you have made to find a solution yourself
(2) show a snippet of the code and the error details (e.g. Python 
traceback).

I suspect the answer to (1) is "not much". A little googling leads me to 
the impression that you have been struck by a known but unfixed bug in a 
commercial product. According to posts in forums on the vendor's web 
site, the bug appears to happen when the software is accessed via COM 
from any language (e.g. Visual Basic as well as Python) -- so it's not a 
Python problem.

Your e-mail address suggests that you are working for a U.S. state 
government agency, which has presumably paid a licence fee for the 
product. In that case I suggest you avail yourself of whatever support 
options are available from the product vendor.

HTH,
John

You might try running the dependency walker on
site-packages/win32/win32clipboard.pyd just in case, but I suspect you
won't find anything.

win32clipboard.SetClipboardViewer is a function inside of
win32clipboard.pyd, which is a DLL in the Python directory.  It,
eventually, calls SetClipboardViewer inside of user32.dll.  User32.dll
has been a part of Windows since 1992; I'm 100% confident you'll find
the problem in the Python wrapper somewhere.

On a whim, can you try checksumming the DLL?  I'm running pywin32-204. 
If you have the same version, you should get the same number:

C:\Apps\Python24\Lib>python
Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import binascii

hex(binascii.crc32(file('site-packages/win32/win32clipboard.pyd').read()))
'-0x17a3560a'

No, that's all in-memory.  If it were me, I'd load up Python.exe in a C
debugger and single-step through the function call, but then I'm not
like most people...

I did try the cookbook script here, and it works fine.

Since you're getting pywintypes.error rather than an import error,
the function is actually called.  Most likely the app that created the
window (wxPython) isn't responding correctory.  You might want to
check if you have the same version of wx on both machines.

Subject: [python-win32] How to launch acrobat with data
Message-ID: <866061062.20060919174336@gmail.com>

Hello python-win32,

I'm storing some Adobe forms (application/vnd.fdf) in a database.
Using ADODBAPI I've been able to pull the data out.  Does anyone know
how I can launch Adobe Acrobat with the data?

Here's how I get the data:
>>> import adodbapi

>>> conn = adodbapi.connect('Driver={SQL Server};Data
Source=dbServer,1433;Initial Catalog=theDatabase;User
ID=theUser;Password=thePassword;')

>>> curs=conn.corsor()

>>> curs.execute('''select documentID, BLOBcol from mytable where documentID=5;''')

>>> answer=curs.fetchall()

And answer is:
>>> answer
((u'5', <read-write buffer ptr 0x00AF51C8, size 5132 at 0x00AF51A8>),)

I can get just the FDF data, of course.

>>> print answer[0][1]
%+++-1.2
/FDF << /Fields [ << /T (All_Activity_ActivityID)/V /Off >> << /T (All_
<snip more FDF data>

Does anyone know how to launch Acrobat with data?  I'm very behind the
power curve on windows programming, so I'm not really even sure how to
search through windows to discover how to Dispatch correctly.  I
searched the registry for applicatoin/vnd.fdf, and found HKCR\.fdf,
which had AcroExch.FDFDoc, and PDFs look to be AcroExch.Document, but
how I would use, say, win32com.client.Dispatch to launch Acrobat with
some data (or even launch Acrobat)?

Thanks for the help.

I'm using pywin32-206. I'm using the exact same python packages on my
machine at work
as on my machine a home - I installed it on both PC's using the same files
on my USB
thumb drive...So if it is a problem with the dlls, it must have happened
*after* I installed it.
I'm not ruling out a virus yet, but that is a strange attack for a virus to
follow :-/

Of course it might just be a fluke corruption on one of the files that could
only possibly
happen to me because of bad karma and planets being perfectly positioned or
something.

I'm going to try a fresh reinstall of all things python tonight. It's very
frustrating not to be
able to replicate the error on another machine.

*blink blink*. A bit over my head at this time...

I did try the cookbook script here, and it works fine.


As it does with every other machine I've tried it on, and every person on
#python that tested it. I can't even
find anything remotely similar to my problem on Google - so chances are it's
some freak situation I created
on my PC.

I tried running some clipboard managers at home (Clippy and Clipmagic - both
nice programs by the way)
and they don't seem to have a problem recieving the clipboard draw event, so
I am sure you are right
about it having nothing to do with the windows dll. It *has* to be in the
python wrapper...

Anyway, if my reinstall of python doesn't work - I'll do a reinstall of
Windows. A dirty job but somebody has to
do it. If nothing else, it has therapeutic value...fdisk. No compromise.

I never even thought of that... I installed from the same files originally,
but I think I might've upgraded the wx version on my work machine.
I'm trying a reinstall tonight.

Subject: [python-win32] Trying to run an external program
Message-ID: <5107423.1158789834244.JavaMail.brant@mac.com>

Hi. I'm new to Python and I am trying to use it on Windows XP. I am trying to use it to replicate the same thing that I do on Linux and Mac via shell scripting (Batch files aren't powerful enough, so I've decided to try to use Python.)

What I want to do is execute a program and have the results of the execution assigned to a variable. According to the documentation the way to do this is as follows:

import commands
x = commands.getstatusoutput('dir')

This should assign "x" to be the output of the command "dir". However, when I run this (or any other command), x ends up being:

(1, "'{' is not recognized as an internal or external command,\noperable program or batch file.")

This leads me to believe that Python or perhaps just the commands module is not setup correctly on my computer.

I installed Python using the Python2-5.msi link that I found at:
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5/

I left everything the default during installation, so Python was installed to C:\Python25. The only other thing I did was add this PATH variable on my computer.

Any ideas on what I might do to troubleshoot this?

Actually, the output is defined to be a tuple (exitstatus, 
command_result). The exitstatus is 1, and the "is not recognised" thing 
is the result of the command, which was evidently "{" (!!)

(1) Read the manual: "Availability: Unix"
(2) Read line 25 of the source code (c:\python25\lib\commands.py)

Others may know of canned Python solutions for Windows; all I can 
suggest is to write something like the (very short) commands module, 
using the functions in the subprocess module.

The commands module doesn't work on Windows.  You could try using
os.popen, or maybe the subprocess module.

You could write the data out to a file and use os.startfile
to launch acrobat.  If you need to actually control Acrobat
as a COM object, it has to be embedded in a container.
Using IE as a container is fairly easy, you just Navigate to
a PDF document:
import win32com.client
ie=win32com.client.Dispatch('internetexplorer.application')
ie.Visible=1
ie.Navigate('somedocument.pdf')

Thanks for your help -- I searched around some more and I think I
have the basic idea down -- if you want to implement a COM interface, it should
look something like this:

Use makepy -i to generate a file from the typelib containing the
interface definition.
In my case the file generated is named:
13F76618-D199-4485-8C95-DC524958686Cx0x2x0.py

I assume the typelib GUID is: 13F76618-D199-4485-8C95-DC524958686C
and the typelib version is: 2,0

The interface I'm trying to implement is named: "IMbtQuotesNotify"

universal.RegisterInterfaces('{13F76618-D199-4485-8C95-DC524958686C}',0,2,0,["IMbtQuotesNotify"])
class Q:
    _com_interfaces_ = ['IMbtQuotesNotify']
    _typelib_guid_ = '{13F76618-D199-4485-8C95-DC524958686C}'
    _typelib_version_ = 2, 0

    def OnQuoteData(self,pQuote):
        print "got onquote!"
        print type(pQuote)
        print "%s" % pQuote

import win32com.server.util
qnotify = win32com.server.util.wrap(Q())

The object named qnotify is now something I can pass to another COM
function that
expects an object implementing the interface.

import win32com.client as com
quote = com.Dispatch("MBTrading.MbtQuotes")
quote.AdviseSymbol(qnotify,'GOOG',1)

The callback functions defined in qnotify should be called with quote
data whenever a new quote for 'GOOG' is available.  For whatever
reason, this doesn't happen. Sometimes the OnQuoteData callback is
invoked with an int (the int is 1240772, if that means anything)
instead of the quote datatype as advertised. Sometimes the interpreter
crashes.  However, I suspect that the above code is correct, unless I
am still doing something wrong.  (Perhaps using wrap is not the right
function for creating an object that is passed as an argument to
another COM function?)

Thanks again for your help!

Yep - both versions turned out to be the same. I reinstalled anyway, but
still the same problem persists.

I uninstalled everything, deleted any remaining dirs, rebooted and
reinstalled only python, wx and win32. Still the same problem. So I'm sure
the problem is not with the python libs themselves and it must be a problem
somewhere else - probably with the OS - but where?

I replaced all the relevant dlls (except user32dll, which is always in use
it seems) - still no dice.

How can I replace user32.dll? Where else can I look for the source of the
problem before going so far as reinstalling windows?

One possible solution...just sleep until the ie object reports it's not
busy.  Should mean the form submission has completed and the new
document as loaded.  

ie.Document.login_form.submit()
while ie.Busy:
    time.sleep(.5)
s = doc.documentElement.outerHTML
print s

That is an unjustified conclusion.  You may be sure that the problem was
not caused by a bad installation of Python or wx, but in no way have you
eliminated the Python libs or wrappers from suspicion.

Unless you have been infected by a virus, user32.dll is not broken. 
Please eliminate that option from consideration.  Windows constantly
monitors all of the critical system files and replaces them with hidden,
cached copies if they change.

Do you run any real-time virus or spyware checkers?  Have you tried
disabling those temporarily to see if it makes a difference?

You might try running HijackThis
(www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/programs.php).  Create a log and send it to
me, and I'll see if there are any Windows hooks installed that might be
interfering.

What toolkit are you using to build your UI?  If you are drawing your
windows with wx, there is a canned dialog already.  If you're using
win32ui, you can use win32ui.CreateFileDialog.

I think you are on to something here. I disabled AVG and the program worked!
Then I enabled AVG again, and the program still worked. Before replying to
your message, I decided to reboot, just to make sure it still works but
after
rebooting I get the same error as before - even if I disable AVG :(

You should always reply to the whole list so that future folks with the
same question can see the answers.

That all looks correct!

Try adding useDispatcher=1 as a param to wrap.  That will cause the object
to use a "debug" dispatcher, and should spew print statements to
win32traceutil - ie, the same as if the object was registered with "--debug"
(but as this object is not registered at all, --debug isn't an option; the
param to wrap is though).

Ack - that can't be good.  What is the makepy generated code for
OnQuoteData?

It all looks ok to me, so I'm not really able to offer much more help at
this stage.

Thanks for this tip! Unfortunately, the few times I tried running it,
there wasn't any output
before crashing, but I'll keep at it and see if it turns up anything.

I think because it is an interface, makepy only generated these v_table entries:

IMbtQuotesNotify_vtables_dispatch_ = 0
IMbtQuotesNotify_vtables_ = [
        (( 'OnQuoteData' , 'pQuote' , ), 1610678272, (1610678272, (),
[ (36, 1, None, None) , ], 1 , 1
 , 4 , 0 , 12 , (3, 0, None, None) , 0 , )),
        (( 'OnLevel2Data' , 'pRec' , ), 1610678273, (1610678273, (), [
(36, 1, None, None) , ], 1 , 1
, 4 , 0 , 16 , (3, 0, None, None) , 0 , )),
        (( 'OnTSData' , 'pRec' , ), 1610678274, (1610678274, (), [
(36, 1, None, None) , ], 1 , 1 , 4
, 0 , 20 , (3, 0, None, None) , 0 , )),
        (( 'OnOptionsData' , 'pRec' , ), 1610678275, (1610678275, (),
[ (36, 1, None, None) , ], 1 , 1
 , 4 , 0 , 24 , (3, 0, None, None) , 0 , )),
]

Is the custom of passing an object that implements an interface as an
argument to a COM function an unusual one?  I've searched for other
COM functions that do this, and have yet to find any.  The most common
way of registering an event sink for most COM applications seems to be
overriding the callback functions on a COM object directly.

Thanks for all your help!

I assumed the two were related. I'll disable the Alpha Networks dirver and
see what happens.

 I've already tried uninstalling both Google Talk and Evernote, but it
didn't
affect my errant program at all, so I reinstalled it. I run both at work as
well
so, I wasn't too surprised that they weren't the culprits

I still think you're right about the AVG thing - I'll uninstall it tonight
and see
what happens. It's so strange that the program worked after disabling AVG
control panel the first time (I only disabled the control panel, not the
actual
program the first time) while I had no luck after rebooting.

I'll uninstall everything in that hijaakthis.log and add them one by one
until
something breaks. Assuming it works when I uninstall everything :-\

Hi there,

Am I being stupid somewhere here? I have a class defined (code below) 
which has a property which is get and put. Here is a sample session of 
using it:

>>> slice.Value
u'18.000000'
>>> slice.Value = "19.0"

Is it possible to set string properties? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Even after completely uninstalling every memory resident program I
installed, I still get the same error:

pywintypes.error: (126, 'SetClipboardViewer', 'The specified module could
not be found.')

What gets me is that it worked after following your instructions the first
time. I don't know if it was because I disabled AVG, I just know that it
worked at least once. So there has to be a way to make it work again.

Hello, I don't really have experience using win32com and I'm running into a problem.  I'm trying to use a COM object.  Several of the functions take strings as arguments, but when I pass in a string I get an exception:

>>> import win32com.client
>>> o=win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("AT91Boot_DLL.AT91BootDLL.1")
>>> o.AT91Boot_Open("/usb/ARM0")
Traceback (most recent call last):

    , h_handle)

    return self._get_good_object_(
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): /usb/ARM0

The documentation claims that the argument is a pointer to a string.  Looking in PythonWin's COM browser, it appears that the object is expecting an integer pointer. Is there a way to get around this?  

The DLL in question can be found in: http://atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/at91_isp_V14.zip

If the typelib specifies an integer, that it probably more correct than the
docs.  I'd suggest you try the MS COM browser, and if that still says it
wants an int, then contract the author of the COM object.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Note that you pasted in the incorrect interface definition - your code is
not using the version with '2' at the end.  Without knowing the typelib in
question, I can't suggest how you get the interface you expect.

Yes - but you must be careful of threading rules - ie, you can *not* simply
pass the pointer to a different thread that make the actual callback.

Yeah, COM events generally use 'connection points' - but even then, the
thread-rules must be followed.

The people who wrote this must have been idiots.  They do want a string,
but they declared all the string parameters as "unsigned char *" instead
of "char *".  I don't know how to make this work with Python.

By the way, it wasn't entirely reasonable of you to expect us to
download and install an 11 megabyte product just for one 85k byte dll.

Good day all.

I am trying to write a short Python script to create
some PDFs.
I create instances of App, AVDoc and PDDoc using the
following syntax:
app = Dispatch("AcroExch.App")
doc = Dispatch("AcroExch.AVDoc")
pd = Dispatch("AcroExch.PDDoc")

However when I call pd = doc.GetPDDoc(), the Python
interpreter
complains about the member function not being found. I
know for sure
that it is there, since I can execute the code in VB
no problem.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I ran the makepy on the Adobe5 type library.

Hi,
Does Python have a library providing a plot function similiar to matlab
that will plot a math plot or just some data points in a pop-up window
Thanks

I am trying to force late binding, since obviously early binding does not discover the methods that I am trying to call.
I ran the makepy -i from within PythonWin, to get those two lines I need to paste in into my script.
from win32com.client import gencache
gencache.EnsureModule .......

However when I run the script, I get an com_error saying that dynamic.py couldn't find a certain method?
I thought that EnsureModule should force late binding.

You are right. I made a mistake, it forces early binding.
However neither late nor early can discover the AcroExch.AVdoc method I need and VB does it with no problem.

By the way I can force early or late binding on the Excel.Application, but for some reason not on Acrobat classes.

Thanks for you help.
The problem apparentely was in the parenthesis. I dropped the parenthesis from GetPDDoc and things started to work!

Early bound code is case sensitive, so have you checked that you've got your casings correct?

Subject: [python-win32] printing to PDF
Message-ID: <20060925165800.4577.qmail@web88312.mail.re4.yahoo.com>

Now that I resolved the PDF generation issue, I have another question.
I am trying to print numerous word documents to pdf, using the "Acrobat PDFWriter". 
I do it in the following way:
for i in range(1, 16):
            doc_file = "ish0%.2d.doc" % i
            pdf_file = "ish0%.2d.pdf" % i
            self.word_app.Documents.Open(self.dir_name+doc_file)
            self.word_app.Documents(self.dir_name+doc_file).PrintOut(Background=True,\
                                                    OutputFileName=pdf_file, PrintToFile=True)
            time.sleep(2)
            self.word_app.Documents(self.dir_name+doc_file).Close()

My problem is that I am prompted for a file name for every pdf file being printed, even though I supply one. Is there a way to avoid the File Save dialog popping up?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help.
The problem apparentely was in the parenthesis. I dropped the parenthesis from GetPDDoc and things started to work!

Early bound code is case sensitive, so have you checked that you've got your casings correct?

 On 9/25/06, Michael S <msherman77 at yahoo.com> wrote:    You are right. I made a mistake, it forces early binding.
However neither late nor early can discover the AcroExch.AVdoc method I need and VB does it with no problem. 

By the way I can force early or late binding on the Excel.Application, but for some reason not on Acrobat classes.

Hrmph - I never asked for *any* egg file to be created.  I'm guessing that
the simple fact I previously installed setuptools caused this side-effect.
I'll try and remember to dig deeper before the next release.

Subject: [python-win32] Input-only vs. In/Out Function Parameters
Message-ID: <ED868B606015D411851F00508B6A682F0C866996@crs12.aecl.ca>

Hello,

I am new to COM programming and have a question about function
parameters when implementing a COM object in Python.

After reading "Python Programming on Win32", I have managed to create a
working COM object, where "working" is defined as "I can use it from
Excel VBA".

I have a function like this:

def func(self, in1, inout1, in2, inout2)

where the in* parameters are input only and inout* are input and output.
At the end of the function I return an error code and new values for the
in/out parameters. I.e.:

return( errorCode, new_inout1, new_inout2 )

This seems to work fine if it is called from VBA as

    errorCode = object.func( CONSTANT_1, var1, CONSTANT_2, var2 )

or

    errorCode = object.func( 42, var1, 7.4, var2 )

but it breaks if the VB program does this:

    c1 = CONSTANT_1  ' c1 is a previously declared variable
    c2 = 7.4         ' c2 is a previously declared variable
    errorCode = object.func( c1, var1, c2, var2 )

because c1 will then be assigned new_inout1 and var1 will be assigned
new_inout2, while c2 and var2 will not be assigned anything.

Short of telling the VB programmer "Don't do that", how do I prevent
this problem?

Thanks,
Brian

Subject: [python-win32] loading and unloading python24.dll in an embedded
	situation
Message-ID: <1159463298.20064.16.camel@isengard>

I have a problem with an embedded application that loads python24.dll.
Basically my embedded application is itself a dll that is a plugin for
another application.  my dll is loaded and unloaded on demand.  I do
have my dllmain stuff initialize and finalize python when appropriate.
This works most of the time.  The problem is that if python loads any
modules that use dlls, such as win32gui, when my dll is unloaded the
pywintypes.dll does not get unloaded (neither does python24.dll for that
matter).  Having python24.dll sticking around doesn't seem to be a
problem, but unfortunately the pywintypes.dll is a problem.  When my dll
is loaded the second time, something fails (probably when pywintypes.dll
is asked to initialize again).  

So my question is, is there any way to get these dlls unloaded?  

If not, I guess I'll have to resort to putting python in a separate
process and communicating with it via an IPC mechanism, which is not
something I want to do.

thanks.

Michael

Nope :(  Python loads libraries for extension modules, but never unloads
them.

I'd suggest just never finalizing Python!

Hmm.  I'll have to look into that.  IT just might work since even though
my dll is unloaded, the python dll remains in memory (presumably in the
same state I left it).

If not, I guess I'll have to go down a different path.
