[python-win32] makepy.py "Some COM library"

[Steven Manross]

C:\Python39\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client>python -c "from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatch; EnsureDispatch('ADODB.Connection.6.0');

That code seems to generate a directory in the correct path in both 3.9 and 3.11

C:\Python39\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129x0x6x1
* With the files:
                __init__.py
                _Connection.py
                Connection.py
                ConnectionEvents.py

* Similar for 3.11 (base dir name is C:\Python311)

Also…  I’ve noticed (just now) that Python 3.9 makepy.py seems to put the constants file in the correct path…  and 3.11 doesn’t.

Test environment = Win2019 (Py3.11 – multiple systems) and Win10 (Py3.9 – one system)…  I should have some 3.10 systems here too in case that helps identify any issue(s)

HTH and let know if you want any more testing performed.  I’m always happy to help.

Does something like `python -c "from win32com.client.gencache import EnsureDispatch; EnsureDispatch('ADODB.Connection.6.0');` work? That should generate directly into the expected output directory.

I am running the command above, and if I do this, my Classic ASP does not see the resulting B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129x0x6x1.py file because it saved the file in the user temp directory as opposed to in the site-packages directory structure.


  1.  When I installed Python, I told it to install the application for “All Users” (Default Directory = C:\Program Files\Python311 -- but I removed the Program Files portion for the installation)

Is there some way to make it save the file in the correct place for the python installation from the command line so I don’t have to move the files it generates?

Keep in mind that the files it generates seems to live in a 3.11 directory, but python seems to want it in:

C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\B691E011-1797-432E-907A-4D8C69339129x0x6x1.py
C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\dicts.dat
C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\__init__.py

I saw the -o parameter in the makepy.py script but if I use that, it doesn’t seem to build the dicts.dat or __init__.py files – which already exist (is that a problem?).

Please and thank you for any comments,
Steven
