Subject: [python-win32] Example code for SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems?
Message-ID: <CAH30xayaBnU+d-4y=4+3_KZmAFEYsfK44q5DHYg5ezedn2A5_A@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings...

Would anyone happen to have some sample code of how to use
SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems?  I've been tinkering with it and haven't got
anything to work yet.  This is the closest I've got:

>>> from win32com.shell import shell
>>> shell.SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems((r'c:\junk', ), 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Must be an array of IDLs

The errors I've seen in my experiments mention "IDLs" and "ITEMIDLIST"
objects.  I've dug a bit through the pywin32 docs and MDSN and didn't have
much luck understanding what the Python wrapper required and how to
construct these object.  I must admit I don't have much Win32 API
programming experience.

I'm using Active State's Python 2.6.2.2 on Vista and I installed the 32 bit
version of pywin32, build 217.

For reverence, here's some links:
I submitted the feature request for SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3396444&group_id=78018&atid=551957

The changeset that implements this function is here:
http://pywin32.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/pywin32/pywin32/rev/1452829d69ec.

And, here's the MSDN doc:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762232%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Any nudges in the right direction would be helpful.

Thanks!

Subject: [python-win32] HKLM\SOFTWARE\...\ProfileList\... registry subkey
	query
Message-ID: <20120906044808.GA26814@raf.org>

hi,

windows-xp/7 python-2.6.2 pywin32-217

ages ago i wrote some code to get a user's home directory on windows
(even if they'd gone into the registry and moved it). i remember it
working when i wrote it but at some point it stopped working. when i
looked into it, it turned out that the registry subkeys no longer
looked like what the code was expecting.

the code was something like:

  import win32api, win32net, win32netcon, win32security, _winreg, re, os
  def user():
    try:
      dc = win32net.NetServerEnum(None, 100, win32netcon.SV_TYPE_DOMAIN_CTRL)
      dcname = r'\\' + dc[0][0]['name'] if dc[0] and isinstance(dc[0][0], dict) else None
    except Exception:
      dcname = None
    return win32net.NetUserGetInfo(dcname, win32api.GetUserName(), 1)['name']
  def home(username=None):
    if username is None:
      username = user()
    sid = win32security.ConvertSidToStringSid(win32security.LookupAccountName(None, username)[0])
    subkey = 'SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\ProfileList\\' + sid
    key = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, subkey)
    val, typ = _winreg.QueryValueEx(key, 'ProfileImagePath')
    if typ == _winreg.REG_EXPAND_SZ: # Which it is
      while True:
        match = re.compile('%\w+%').search(val)
        if match is None:
          break
        varname = val[match.start()+1:match.end()-1]
        val = val[0:match.start()] + os.getenv(varname, '') + val[match.end():]
    return val

given the account sid:

  S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115

it expected to find this registry key:

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115

inside which it expected to find:

  ProfileImagePath = %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\patricia (WindowsXP)
  ProfileImagePath = C:\Users\patricia                             (Windows7)

however, instead of the above registry key, there are:

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115-1003
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115-1004
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115-1005
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115-1006
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115-1008
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\S-1-5-5-21-725345543-1957994488-859522115-1009

each referring to a different user (patricia happens to be the one ending in 1009).

sadly, i've resorted to poking around likely locations
in the file system but that's not very satisfying.
and i'd like to avoid enumerating through all of these
keys and just assuming that the home directory contains
the user's login name (even though that's very likely).

so my questions are:
did the sid for the account name ever uniquely identify the user?
how do i obtain the "1009" that needs to be appended to the sid
to complete it?

i've attached the real code in case it's of any help.

p.s. i know (as of a few minutes ago) that there is a win32profile module
that looks like it should do all of this for me but according to its
documentation, i can only use win32profile.GetUserProfileDirectory()
if i have a token returned by win32security.LogonUser() but i don't
want or need to log the user in (even if i knew their passwords!)
so i have no such token and i can't use that function.

cheers,
raf

Roger,

Thanks much for the example code (and the implementation of the feature in
the first place!). It got me running.  For posterity, I copied in my
function below that wraps up your sample code in a function. Thanks again!

from win32com.shell import shell, shellcon

def launch_file_explorer(path, files):
    '''Given a absolute base path and names of its children (no path), open
up one File Explorer window with all the child files selected'''

    desktop = shell.SHGetDesktopFolder()
    shell_folder = desktop.BindToObject(folder_pidl, None,

Yes. In fact it's the only way, since you can change the login name of an account.

win32security.LookupAccountName will give you the complete sid for a username.

That's not an account SID, that's a logon session (S-1-5-5).  Did you
perhaps copy-and-paste this by typing it by hand?  If you eliminate the
extra -5 (so, S-1-5-21-xxx), then it would be a domain SID.  It's still
not a user account SID -- that requires one more set of digits, as you
found below.

Right.  Those are user accounts within the domain or local group
S-1-5-21-...-859522115.

if you look at the code i supplied, you'll see that that is precisely
where i get the sid from:

  sid = win32security.ConvertSidToStringSid(win32security.LookupAccountName(None, username)[0])

so win32security.LookupAccountName is not giving me the complete sid for the username.
any idea why it isn't doing so? any idea what i'm doing wrong?

cheers,

You are assuming that the user name you got is a local user on this
machine, and never a domain user.  That may be true for the computer
you're using, but it's not safe in the general case.  In my case,
LookupAccountName('timr2-pc', 'timr') produces a very different result
from LookupAccountName('probo','timr').

BTW, I've tried your code on XP and on Win 7 64, and in both cases I get
the full string including the last set of digits.

Sorry, from a first glance I thought you were deliberately retrieving the machine's SID and then
looking for the accounts under it.  It appears you have a machine named the same as the user,
and the call to LookupAccountName is finding the computer name first.  Try passing
\\machine\username instead of just the bare user name.

Hi All,

I'm Working on a cad program using the it's com interface

I have a python com object in witch I call a method as follows ..

     props=ent.Properties(True)
     #Ent is a IDocument
     this method is working well, and return a tuple of ITDProperty that 
are the property of the document.

The problem is when I close the document from the Cad application, the 
Cad application is unable to close the document because there is some 
reference still active.
I tried several way using the gc.collect(), to set to null each document 
pointer but with no result.
I tried to do the some kind of operation with c# and using the 
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);, where doc is the  IDocument, and 
document is released and I'm free to close it from the interface.

*now the question is how can I do the some staff as ReleaseComObject 
dose in python ?*

its the Release method of the |IUnknown|interface the right way to do that ?

any hint is really appreciated, thanks

Regards,
Matteo

[sorry for top-post]

You probably need to release the Python object that is wrapping the COM object.

Given a variable x holding a COM object reference, either:

    del x

or

    x = None

should force release of any COM object reference.

Which to use depends on taste and context - the latter approach for example being perhaps more usual when dealing with object attributes.

that's correct. so it was probably working in the past when the hostnames
didn't match the usernames but now that they do match, it no longer works.

silly me. given its name i thought it was looking up the name
of an account on the computer not the computer itself. :-)

hi roger,

i tried that and got the following error:

  error: (1332, 'LookupAccountName',
    'No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.')

according to microsoft's documentation
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379159%28v=vs.85%29.aspx)
the username should be domainname\username not \\hostname\username but it
also says that a fqdn can be used instead of a windows domain name.

if i use the unqualified hostname (as returned by win32api.GetComputerName()),
it works. so the leading \\ needs to be absent.

and it even works when the windows computer name isn't the same as the dns hostname.

many thanks for your help. it's all good now. working code is below.

cheers,
raf

I try with both method but with no result:

                     logging.debug('_getProp : property found

                     if props[i].Parent.Name==name:

         finally:

             tdProp=None
             oiDoc=None
             ent=None

there is any way to debug how is the object deleted ?

I'm not sure how this applies to COM and the python interface to it, but 
just setting a value to None doesn't usually force the object to go away 
in Python.  That won't happen until it is garbage collected, which you 
can force if needed:

I suspect that your problem relates to what objects are being retained by self._getCurrentEnt.

You probably need to release the Python object that is wrapping the COM object.

Given a variable x holding a COM object reference, either:

    del x

or

    x = None

should force release of any COM object reference.

Which to use depends on taste and context - the latter approach for example being perhaps more usual when dealing with object attributes.

Subject: [python-win32] how can I do marshall.ReleaseComObject in python ??

Hi All,

I'm Working on a cad program using the it's com interface

I have a python com object in witch I call a method as follows ..

    props=ent.Properties(True)
    #Ent is a IDocument
    this method is working well, and return a tuple of ITDProperty that are the property of the document.

The problem is when I close the document from the Cad application, the Cad application is unable to close the document because there is some reference still active.
I tried several way using the gc.collect(), to set to null each document pointer but with no result.
I tried to do the some kind of operation with c# and using the Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);, where doc is the  IDocument, and document is released and I'm free to close it from the interface.

now the question is how can I do the some staff as ReleaseComObject dose in python ?

its the Release method of the IUnknown interface the right way to do that ?

any hint is really appreciated, thanks

Regards,
Matteo

[sorry for top post]

CPython uses reference counting; when the reference count drops to 0, the object is deleted and its memory returned to the heap.

CPython?s garbage collector is there to attempt to resolve situations where the reference count is not being allowed to drop to 0 (such as via circular references).  CPython?s garbage collector isn?t the same as garbage collection in other languages (such as Java).

Setting a variable to None in CPython will definitely force an object to be deleted if its reference count drops to zero.

The garbage collector has an additional function (run as a side-effect) which may give the impression of delayed cleanup ? when it is run, it checks the state of Python?s private memory allocator, and if there are unused memory chunks in the private heap it will return them to the OS.

I'm not sure how this applies to COM and the python interface to it, but just setting a value to None doesn't usually force the object to go away in Python.  That won't happen until it is garbage collected, which you can force if needed:

You probably need to release the Python object that is wrapping the COM object.

Given a variable x holding a COM object reference, either:

    del x

or

    x = None

should force release of any COM object reference.

Which to use depends on taste and context ? the latter approach for example being perhaps more usual when dealing with object attributes.

Subject: [python-win32] how can I do marshall.ReleaseComObject in python ??

Hi All,

I'm Working on a cad program using the it's com interface

I have a python com object in witch I call a method as follows ..

    props=ent.Properties(True)
    #Ent is a IDocument
    this method is working well, and return a tuple of ITDProperty that are the property of the document.

The problem is when I close the document from the Cad application, the Cad application is unable to close the document because there is some reference still active.
I tried several way using the gc.collect(), to set to null each document pointer but with no result.
I tried to do the some kind of operation with c# and using the Marshal.ReleaseComObject(doc);, where doc is the  IDocument, and document is released and I'm free to close it from the interface.

now the question is how can I do the some staff as ReleaseComObject dose in python ?

its the Release method of the IUnknown interface the right way to do that ?

any hint is really appreciated, thanks

Regards,
Matteo

Finally I solved the problem using the attached function to release the 
com object

     def ReleaseDocumentReference(self,doc):
         if not is_tracked( doc._oleobj_):
             x=doc._oleobj_
             if is_tracked(x):
                 print "Now x is traked"
             addr = int(repr(x).split()[-1][2:-1], 16)
             from ctypes import *
             from comtypes.automation import IDispatch
             from _ctypes import CopyComPointer
             p = POINTER(IDispatch)()
             cast(byref(p), POINTER(c_void_p))[0] = addr
             if is_tracked(p):
                 print "Now is traked"
             p.Release()

the problem was due to the doc._oleobj_ that contains the PyIDispatch 
object that was not tracked by the garbage collector ..

Matteo

Subject: [python-win32] ValueError in relpath
Message-ID: <E3F0AE62D06F6C42ACF59588421A2CC51CDBFAFA@DEFTHW99E54MSX.ww902.siemens.net>

Hello!
 
I am not subscribed to this mailing list (so CC me on all replies please), 
but I encountered something that looks like a Windows related bug to me and hope that somebody knows
how to take care of it in the python way.
 
I have a tool that traverses and compares large file trees. Occasionally it fails with:
 
  File "F:\doublettenweg.py", line 53, in removedups
    relfilename = os.path.relpath(oldfilename,oldroot)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 512, in relpath
    % (path_prefix, start_prefix))
ValueError: path is on drive , start on drive F:
 
I found out, that (in C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py)
path_prefix is empty because internally nt._getfullpathname(path) is used, which silently
returns path on error (which is relative). So relpath(), which converts both paths to absolute paths
and has them split into parts, will try to split a relative path into drive and path, 
which leads to the ValueError I see.

This is Python 2.7.3 on Windows XP.
 
My conclusions:
 
(1) I wonder what limitation on windows was hit by the _getfullpathname(path) call. 
The file name is long but not so exceptionally long. Maybe this is a python problem
that can be fixed?
 
(2) The fact that abspath(path) swallows the windows error, returning
something that is definitely wrong (a relative path where an absolute
one is expected) makes it hard to use it safely. Could it simply
not catch the WindowsError or raise an Error (which one?)?
 
(3) why does relpath() need absolute paths at all? Could it work without this
path normalisation if both paths are relative and path.startswith(start) is true?
 

With best regards
 
Hartmut Niemann

How long is the path?  Your sample below is only about 150 characters. 
The GetFullPathName API is limited to 260 characters, unless one uses
the Unicode version and uses the \\?\ prefix, which extends that to
32,768.  I'll have to check the library source code to see which one
they use.

"Which one" is an excellent question.  It's not clear what the behavior
should be.  Perhaps just allowing the WindowsError to leak through would
be the safest.

The relpath operation is tricky, because it's possible for paths to have
things like a\b\..\..\c\d\..\other.  You generally want to unravel all
of that before you begin.

No, the relative path that crashed it has 245 characters:

2012-08-07_diffzu_2012-09-12\PRJ\I1SITRAC\wrk\130_Eclipse\Workspace\.metadata\.plugins\com.python.pydev.analysis\python_v1_eo3pb4rfuku7u65tfbbltnbp5\v1_indexcache\pylint.test.input.func_noerror_classes_meth_could_be_a_function_bhwc.v1_indexcache

so the absolute path exceeded 260. That makes sense.

This was a real crash, i. e. this is the filename that crashed.

I used to have problems with long and strange file names from
saving web pages, but this time the problems came (on several places)
with internal eclipse data which has quite long (but 'regular', 
i.e. no special characters) file names.

I could do some more tests if you want me to, just tell me what you are
interested in.

I understand.

I used relpath with walk, so the path starts always with base,
maybe I'll try to use that knowledge to circumvent the problem.

Do you think what I saw is a bug? Can you enter it into the bug database?

With best regards
Hartmut.

This goes below wxPython down into wxWidgets.  It may be that the best
long-term solution is to have wxWidgets switch to the Unicode API with
the \??\ prefix, but if you want my personal recommendation, I would
just go implement it myself in Python.  It's not rocket science.

Subject: [python-win32] win32com installation problem X64
Message-ID: <1347825926559-4988902.post@n6.nabble.com>

Hi!
I have a problem when installing the pywin32-217.win-amd64-py2.6.exe (from
Source Forge) when I installed python 2.6 using the python-2.6.amd64.msi.
I got the problem on SQL Server 8 R2 and Windows 7 Ultimate.
When I run the pywin installer it halts in the post installer section and in
Swedish informs me that it can't find a module as:
>>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 612, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 322, in install
  File "<string>", line 160, in LoadSystemModule
ImportError: DLL load failed: Det g?r inte att hitta den angivna modulen.
<<<<<<<<<<
I managed on the server installation to copy the pythoncom26.dll,
pythoncomloader26.dll and pywintypes26.dll to the standard DLL's directory.
Adding some path so that win32\lib\pywintypes.py is found I manage to
import, for example Dispatch via:
>>>import pywintypes
>>>from win32com.client import Dispatch
However the import will fail if I omitt the pywintypes import ???

On 32-bit system everything works perfect (atleast on a XP and SQL Server
2003).
And I never had any problem with python 2.5.

Any idea?

PS! I have to use Python 2.6 because I support the SunGard FRONT ARENA
system which have python built in since 1996 and now they switch from 2.5 ->
2.6.

No, I am not using wxWidgets, I am using the os.path module.
But anyway, I will try my own relpath implementation.

Not sure that's going to help sort out the problem, but I'll take the
opportunity to mention that every time I tried to build and package
pywin32 on Windows Server, the installation failed because the installer
couldn't find some or all (can't remember precisely) of the DLLs you
mentionned above, and I had to manually copy them. Once they were installed,
pywin32 worked like expected.

My 2 cents.

Does anyone know the status of pywin32 on PyPy? The only things I can find
point toward a sourceforge ticket [1] that has sat untouched since early
2011.

I apologize for the apparent idiocy of my remarks.  I knew you dealing
directly with Python's standard library.  I was looking in the standard
library code, not in the wxPython code.  My conclusion still applies,
even though the explanation was nonsense.

My mailer happens to sort the [python-win32] list and the [wxPython]
list into the same folder, and I sometimes have a context failure.

pywin32 happens to have a few parts which rely too much on CPython internals,
but they were easily fixed. The changes I did at the time are in this
repository:
https://bitbucket.org/amauryfa/pywin32-pypy
and the full patch is available here: http://pastebin.com/YTGPSAYi

I remember I could run some demos, but that controlling an Excel
Instance for example crashed at some point.

Unfortunately I don't have access to any Windows machine anymore, but
I would be happy to help anyone who wants to push this development
further.

# starts up QTP
qtp.Launch()
qtp.Visible = False
time.sleep(30)

At first it starts working without any glitches. but currently it is

Please provide information on how to tackle this issue.

I'm afraid there isn't enough information provided here for us to help. 
  At face value, it sounds like a problem in the HP QTP COM libraries.
