[python-win32] "Property '%s.%s' can not be set" on read/write attribute

[Tim Johnson]

Hmm, I'm getting a different error now.  Could it be having trouble passing
one wmi object as a parameter to the method of another?

import wmi
site = 'MV1'
wmi_server = 'mtv-sql-2'
resource = 23012
wmi_namespace = 'root\\sms\\site_%s' % site
conn = wmi.WMI(computer=wmi_server, namespace=wmi_namespace)
coll = conn.Get('SMS_Collection.CollectionID="MV100362"')
rule = conn.Get('SMS_CollectionRuleDirect').SpawnInstance_()
rule.ResourceID = resource
rule.RuleName = 'ResourceID: ' +str(resource)
rule.ResourceClassName = 'SMS_R_System'
coll.AddMembershipRule(rule)

Gives me :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\timjohnson\Desktop\addrule.py", line 16, in ?
    coll.AddMembershipRule(rule)
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 491,
in __getattr__
    raise pythoncom.com_error, details
pywintypes.com_error: (-2147352567, 'Exception occurred.', (0,
'SWbemObjectEx', 'Not found ', None, 0, -2147217406), None)

But this:

import wmi
site = 'MV1'
wmi_server = 'mtv-sql-2'
resource = 23012
wmi_namespace = 'root\\sms\\site_%s' % site
conn = wmi.WMI(computer=wmi_server, namespace=wmi_namespace)
coll = conn.SMS_Collection(CollectionID='MV100362')[0]
rule = conn.SMS_CollectionRuleDirect.new()
rule.ResourceID = resource
rule.RuleName = 'ResourceID: ' +str(resource)
rule.ResourceClassName = 'SMS_R_System'
coll.AddMembershipRule(rule)

Gives me:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\timjohnson\Desktop\addrule.py", line 16, in ?
    coll.AddMembershipRule(rule)
TypeError: __call__() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)
