I agree, and admit to not running a test build of the source archive before releasing 204. It currently fails building the new DirectSound module. I've checked the change for that into CVS (MANIFEST.in did not know about that directory), so build 205 should build from source without modification (unless another new major module is introduced and I make the same omission again) > By the way, am I the only one that tries to build the win32 > extensions > from source, and if not, do all others always use the sources > from CVS? Apparently you are the first to try building release 204 from the source .zip, or the first to report failure. I'm fairly sure 203 worked (but only due to people filing bug reports against 202 . In general, the more detail you can provide about your problems, the better. If you really want to help prove that 205 will work for you, then you could try updating from CVS(ensure you see rev 1.9 of MANIFEST.in - anonymous CVS is generally behind), running "setup.py sdist", then testing the resulting .zip file. I've still only (now) tested on my dev machine. Mark.

I'd suggest starting with py2exe alone. Register the py2exe created .exe, and use a simple VB script application to test the object: set ob = CreateObject("Python.TestServer") and take things from there. Ensuring the COM object is registered for debugging, and that the Pythonwin "Trace Collector" is running should help diagnose most problems. Once you have it working on your dev machine, just have something like inno install the entire py2exe built "dist" directory to the target machine.

I'm afraid I can't help with the unpleasant feelings :) All contributions towards a fool-proof, single-step process that does a clean build from the primary source tree for all supported Python versions, executes all tests (for all versions) and builds the .zip source archive (all versions again?) would be more than appreciated! Until such a process exists, I can do no more than apologize for any errors I make. > On my development machine, it requires only 5 minutes to do a > complete > build cycle (clean previous build, unpack, patch, build, create docs, > install), so what's the problem with testing that the packages builds > before you release it? Perhaps you would care to take over the release of these extensions? It certainly would help me to have someone else take care of the mechanics of the release process, and give me more time to work on the extensions themselves. If not, perhaps a contribution towards a single-step build process as mentioned that I can run? > Another point is, that some directoy names have an inconsistent case > style in the source distribution and in CVS: > In CVS, I find Pythonwin, com/win32comext/axdebug and > com/win32comext/axscript. > In the source distribution, I find pythonwin, com/win32comext/AXDebug > and com/win32comext/AXScript. > > I know, the Windows filesystems are case insensitive, but I'm > building a > Python runtime environment for Linux, AIX, HP-UX, IRIX and Windows.

I have already explained the process of building the .zip distribution, and I'd be happy to receive patches that tweak this process so your life is easier. As a general rule, it takes more than one person complaining about some pedantic corner before I am inclined to spend alot of time worrying about it - but if you want to spend *your* time worrying about it (and only ask a little of my time in review and checkin), I'm generally happy to oblige.

Most leaks of COM objects should be evident by querying pythoncom._GetInterfaceCount() and pythoncom._GetGatewayCount() - it would be interesting to know if these were both zero and you still had the problem. > Is there a reason why pythoncom doesn't call CoUninitialize() itself? We had a few problems trying to do that. In some cases when not all COM objects were explicitly closed, we found that system shutdown time could cause the object to attempt to release the COM pointer - but *after* CoUninit had been called. But I have found very few errors *not* calling it - especially when all COM objects have been cleaned up. I guess that is really just a matter of finding the correct hook (but note that in a COM DLL case, Python itself will never be Uninitialized!

In a clustering environment, sometimes a job has been submitted from computer A to computer B, the job runs on a local drive at computer B, so you want to monitor running situation at computer B from computer A. Sometimes before you submit a job to computer B, you want to know the local path in the computer B, so you can specify the local folder as your running folder from computer A.

Even better, don't depend on local storage except as temporary space; either set up a central storage area over a network or build a SAN. Then it doesn't matter which computer is handling the process; the path can remain the same and is accessible from any station in the cluster. d -- David W.

All is working well but I was asked to put in an enhancement whose behavior has me stumped. We use the login dialog that lives in pywin\dialogs and have never had a problem. My users want the cursor to auto tab to the password control after a specified number of characters are entered. I made a copy of the script, and added: self.userIDCtl = self.GetDlgItem(win32ui.IDC_EDIT1) self.passwordCtl = self.GetDlgItem(win32ui.IDC_EDIT2) # Set a handler so that any keystrokes entered in the userid edit control will be processed in OnUserIDKeyDown self.userIDCtl.HookAllKeyStrokes(self.OnUserIDKeyDown) along with OnUserIDKeyDown(self, std). Now here's the problem: it works fine when run in PythonWin and when I run the debug version of my MFC app with the non-debug python22.dll but when I run the release version of my app the handler OnUserIDKeyDown(self, std) never gets called. My suspicion is message pump confusion. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks Paul -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am using python2.4 No program, in any language, can set an environment variable which will affect the shell from which that program was launched. The only exceptions are: - batch files, which are interpreted by the shell itself - languages with some form of intimate relationship with the shell (some shells have this relationship with the REXX language) - Windows API calls to set the global environment, and then notify running shells to pick up the changes I'm assuming you don't mean the third option (and I don't know the details of the calls required, if you do). Perhaps you can give an example of what you want to do (using another language, as you can't get it to work in Python)? But if I have understood your description correctly, I'm afraid it isn't "very easy". Paul.

The control is in a window owned by a non-python process. I can get pretty close but ultimately get a failure from PyCListCtrl.GetItem(). I think it's because the python layer is passing a pointer from its own address space to a different process when it asks the CListCtrl to respond to GetItem(). Specifically, I have: * Process A, non-python process, has window with CListCtrl control * Process B, python process, executes the following steps: - win32gui.EnumWindows to find the window in process A - win32gui.EnumChildWindows to find the list control in that window - win32ui.CreateWindowFromHandle to wrap the control's handle with a PyCListCtrl object - PyCListCtrl.GetItemCount() works fine, as do other getters and setters that don't require pointers - PyCListCtrl.GetItem() fails with the message: "GetItem failed" The error seems to be coming from win32ctrlList.cpp PyCListCtrl_GetItem() function, which allocates a local LV_ITEM on the stack and then passes the address to CListCtrl->GetItem(). I found this article that explains how to use the VirtualAllocEx(), ReadProcessMemory() and WriteProcessMemory() functions to do something very similar to what I want, but in C: http://www.codeproject.com/threads/int64_memsteal.asp So my questions are: 1. is my diagnosis of the problem correct? 2. is there any way to do a cross-process GetItem() from python? 3. more important, is there another way to do what I want from python, which is to read the contents of a CListCtrl contained in a window owned by another process?

After understanding your suggestions, I want to go striaght to the actual issue down below that made me to post environment issue. The actual issue/Problem: Its kind of funny tome right now, but letme shoot the problem so that we can have a clear cut idea as in whats the bug in python, or may be I don;t know I am missing on something. I using locale.setlocale and u guys know when we use this setlocale. Yes I am working on Localising my application-a pygtk application. When one says import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ' ') This sets the locale for all categories to the user's default setting (typically specified in the LANG environment variable). I use Python2.4 Before I start my application from the DOS command prompt, run this command at the cmd prompt to set LANG environment. Which is "set LANG=ja_JP" And now if I run my python(that uses pygtk ) application it starts up and locale.setlocale able to read this LANG variable and do the needed setting for the locale. But if I don;t define this variable at the command prompt before I start the python application, but I define the environmen variable LANG like os.environ['LANG'] = 'ja_JP'. Then the setlocale doesn't set the locale as needed. But here is the catch. If I am using python2.3 and do the above, the setlocole set the locale as needede on the fly. Whats going on ......I don;t know. If u guys know your suggestions are needed.

I don;tknow where the issue lies now. I print LANG environment everywhere in the code and it does say the LANG is set by os.environ. But setlocale is not understaning this. But remmember, Python2.3.5 works fine with setting env LANG set within the code.

As this is on Windows, you'll also need to keep in mind that the standard Python 2.4[.x] distribution is built with MSVC 7.1, whereas Python 2.3.x distributions were built with MSVC 6. There are 2 different C runtime libraries involved, and the issue you see may be due to differences at this level rather than in the Python codebase. Python 2.4[.x] is still buildable with MSVC 6 (thanks to Raymond Hettinger), so if you have access to that compiler you can check this out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew MacIntyre \ email: andrew.macintyre at aba.gov.au Planning Branch \ tel: +61 2 6256 2812 Australian Broadcasting Authority \ fax: +61 2 6253 3277 -> "These thoughts are mine alone!" <--------------------------------- From nalli.dinesh at gmail.com Thu May 12 02:42:18 2005 From: nalli.dinesh at gmail.com (Nalli Dinesh) Date: Wed, 11 May 2005 17:42:18 -0700 Subject: [python-win32] LOCALE related stuff Re: Setting environment In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I really don;t think so. I looked at process mamangement in python. By default child process inherits all the environment variables from parent process. In case if a python application uses popen3 to run a command in a subprocess(child) then, before that whatever Environment variables u create or set in the code are passed on to the sub process and the sub process setlocale is picking up the LANG environment variable defined in the parent process. But the problem remains, if a process sets environment variable from the code, and other part of code which uses setlocale need be able to see this environment variable. Which is not happening. But if I print the environment variable in the other parts of the code, they all printing that the environmental variable is set.

My reply did not make this clear, but the behaviour of the locale code in the two runtimes is what I was alluding to. I wouldn't mind betting that MSVC 7.1's C library initialises the locale at process initialisation, whereas MSVC 6's C library defers locale initialisation until the first call. If the former is true, subsequently setting the environment variable is a complete waste of time because its far too late. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew MacIntyre \ email: andrew.macintyre at aba.gov.au Planning Branch \ tel: +61 2 6256 2812 Australian Broadcasting Authority \ fax: +61 2 6253 3277 -> "These thoughts are mine alone!" <--------------------------------- From arvind.manutd at gmail.com Thu May 12 08:32:40 2005 From: arvind.manutd at gmail.com (Arvind Ashok) Date: Thu, 12 May 2005 12:02:40 +0530 Subject: [python-win32] win32inet Message-ID: <6b42500505112332aa911c5@mail.gmail.com> Hello, I am a beginner to python win32 and I want to know how to make a connection using the win32inet module. yes, the functions are there but where do I say what device to connect or where ... am sorry for such a basic question but I couldnt find anything in the documentation.

The python COM server has multiple threads running in it and sends events once in a while to the VB6 GUI. The python COM server needs to be run in the MTA of the application's process because all the events from the server to the GUI need to be marshalled, so I set the threading model of the python COM server to "free". I distribute the whole application using py2exe. However, I get the following error on some machines: "Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface" when the python com server is loaded. When I set the threading model to "both" instead of "free", the error disappears. But of course that doesn't suit me because then some VB6 gui code that handles COM server events gets called in threads that are different from the main gui thread. I would like to know if someone has encountered this problem before or if there exists some samples that illustrate how to use a VB6 gui in conjunction with a python COM server that generates events and has multiple threads. Thanks, David Janssens Here is the test code I use for the python COM server: import sys import pythoncom import win32com.server import win32com.server.connect from win32com.server.exception import COMException import winerror IID_IServerWithEvents_Event = pythoncom.MakeIID('{11AEB37F-0CAB-4DE2-B975-F05567EADC8E}') IID_IServerWithEvents = pythoncom.MakeIID('{938F1121-21ED-47A0-B0B7-47D7D6E99A7B}') class Node(win32com.server.connect.ConnectableServer): _reg_desc_ = 'MyProject Node Component' _reg_clsid_ = '{49604ea4-bb2a-d04a-7fdd-b20e7e79cb40}' _reg_progid_ = 'MyProject.Node' _reg_threading_ = 'free' # Generates error, no errors with 'both'! _public_methods_ = ['run'] + win32com.server.connect.ConnectableServer._public_methods_ _connect_interfaces_ = [IID_IServerWithEvents_Event] # Need to overload this method to tell that we support IID_IServerWithEvents def _query_interface_(self, iid): if iid == IID_IServerWithEvents: return win32com.server.util.wrap(self) def run(self): pass if __name__=='__main__': import win32com.server.register win32com.server.register.UseCommandLine(Node, debug=1) From mhammond at skippinet.com.au Wed May 18 03:30:53 2005 From: mhammond at skippinet.com.au (Mark Hammond) Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 11:30:53 +1000 Subject: [python-win32] COM server with events and multiple threads In-Reply-To: <428A78CD.1030507@info.ucl.ac.be> Message-ID: <534101c55b49$3c184190$120a0a0a@enfoldsystems.local> > I am trying to build an application where the GUI is implemented as a > VB6 exe and most of the core functionality is implemented as a python > COM server that is called by the GUI. > > The python COM server has multiple threads running in it and sends > events once in a while to the VB6 GUI. > > The python COM server needs to be run in the MTA of the application's > process because all the events from the server to the GUI need to be > marshalled, so I set the threading model of the python COM > server to "free". A COM server can only indicate the threading options it supports - the *creator* of the COM object is responsible for setting the actual thread mode used. If the server doesn't support the mode, you get that error. Consider: The thread mode is set by a CoInitialize(Ex) call. Such a call must be made before your COM object can be used or instantiated by that thread. Therefore, by the time your server has been created/called, the thread mode must have already been set. You need to tell VB to use free-threading if you want your object to be only used that way. > disappears. But of course that doesn't suit me because then > some VB6 gui > code that handles COM server events gets called in threads that are > different from the main gui thread. COM itself should take care of that. Earlier you mentioned: > The python COM server has multiple threads running in it and sends > events once in a while to the VB6 GUI. How do you pass the event sink objects to the threads? If ever a COM objects crosses thread boundaries, it must do so via CoMarshalInterThreadInterfaceInStream(). If you fail to do that, then you will not get COM's proxying. Note however that the call you make in this thread will still block until the other thread could handle it - ie, the event delivery is unlikely to be asynch.

If I don't do this, the VB6 event handlers are run in different threads than the GUI thread and many problem arise. I don't know how to tell VB6 to use free-threading or how to spawn new threads in VB6 that belong to the MTA. Are you sure it's possible, do you have more information on how to do this? I suppose the problem is quite common to all people who whish to use a VB6 GUI with a python COM server backend. If I can get it working, I would like to submit a sample that shows how to do it, because I think it could be useful to many people.

I have a piece of medical software that exposes its API via COM. In VB (or C#) I can access a wider range of objects than in Python and I'm not clear why. Reading to date suggests that Python will only (easily) expose objects with an IDispatch Interface whereas VB can expose objects with 'other' interfaces. In VB, I can say: Dim pt as ClinicLib.Patient dim pt as ClinicLib.S6Patient And both will return valid objects. In Python, I get: >>> import win32com.client; >>> pt = win32com.client.Dispatch('Clinic.Patient'); >>> pt which works, and >>> pt = win32com.client.Dispatch('Clinic.S6Patient'); Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ?

Perhaps pt = win32com.client.Object('Clinic.S6Patient'); My reading to date suggests that VB probably uses CreateStdInterface and QueryInterface to do what it needs to do. Does this seem plausible (I'm new to the guts of COM) and, if so, does anyone have a code fragment which demonstrates it?

You may be able to use either ctypes, or abuse some other interface that has methods which are "close enough".

I assume that you want this event-loop to never block - one way to do this would be to use WaitForMultipleObjects, a queue and a thread-pool. I'm not sure how ICallFactory is implemented, so I'm not sure how efficient it is to create a huge number of pending calls - a queue etc would let you have more control over this process. Mark.

I want to create a daemon process from within a python cgi script running on apache/win32. This daemon's lifetime is longer than that of the creating cgi script - of course, because the script starts the daemon, writes some html code to stdout and then exits. This simple task kept me busy for weeks! What I'm doing in the script is to spawn a new process with win32process.CreateProcess() or subprocess.Popen() and then it writes html code which dynamically creates a web-page consisting of 3 frames. The frame references are pointing to the very same script which will then be executed by apache multiple times until all frames are rendered (this times bypassing the daemon creation code). The strange thing is that the script execution for rendering the last frame is delayed until the daemon process exits! I completely do not understand this. The daemon process starts and the script is executed repeatedly for all frame references but the last one, leaving the browser in a 'page loading' state. As soon as the daemon process exits, the script is executed again to generate the last frame and the page is loaded completely. When the script doesn't start the daemon, the frames are filled without any delay. Does anybody have an idea what goes wrong here? Is there any connection between a parent and a child process which has to be released before the processes can die independently? Are there any Apache-specific things to handle when spawning processes? Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Your spawned process is inheriting all of your handles, so stdout remains open until the spawned process closes it. Normally, that only happens when the process exits. You have a couple of choices. If you are using CreateProess, you can specify that handles are not to be inherited (it's the 5th parameter to CreateProcess API; I don't know where it lives in PyWin32). Or, you can have the daemon close the stdout handle as soon as it starts. Either solution should solve your problem. -- Tim Roberts, timr at probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.

CreateProcess(..., InheritHandles=0, creationflags=DETACHED_PROCESS) does the trick. I could not get the other idea regarding closing stdout in the daemon to work as well, though. I tried the following: In the daemon-creator: Child = Popen(CommandLine, stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderrPIPE, creationflags=DETACHED_PROCESS) Child.stderr.close() Child.stdout.close() Child.stdin.close() And in the daemon: os.close(0) os.close(1) os.close(2) But it didn't work. The creator still was somehow connected to the daemon, because it didn't terminate until the daemon itself terminated. It's not that much of a problem because I use the InhertiHandles=0 method, but still strange and not understood...

It may also be necessary to call DragAcceptFiles. This is missing from win32gui (but has been addded), but does exist in win32ui. You may need to do something like: win32ui.CreateWindowFromHandle(hwnd).DragAcceptFiles(True) In builds 205 and later you will be able to say: win32gui.DragAcceptFiles(hwnd, True) Mark From amonroe at columbus.rr.com Thu May 26 03:40:40 2005 From: amonroe at columbus.rr.com (R.

(ctypes is bloody useful > but if I'm going to that amount of trouble I could just write plain C) It should be quite feasable. Obviously a few things would need to be done differently, including the WndProc, and the timer would use the win32 "timer" module with a callback function. Note that there is no reason you can't use ctypes for any missing corners - that still gives you better productivity than C. Of course, if you have a C compiler and the missing functions are quite simple (ie, take simple types as params), then adding them to win32gui and submitting the patch to me is another option. > WRT to the supplied example, I couldn't find the GetMessage function > in the win32gui module.

The internal "message loop" is built into win32gui in PumpMessages() - internally we do that Get/Translate/Dispatch dance, and delegate the message itself to a Python function via the Python "message map". For completeness though I have just added GetMessage() - but it should only be used in rare cases - the performance of the loop in C will be much better. > Googling around I found this old post to the list > http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-win32/2004-December/002771.html > but had the same problems as the original poster and I couldn't find > any followups on the thread with fixes.

This application loads many DLL's and passes a PyObject * to each DLL that was gotten from the following call: PyObject * pmod = PyImport_AddModule("__main__") ; Later, in one of the many DLL's that interact with the embedded interpreter, I attempt to insert a dictionary of lists into the module represented by the pointer 'pmod' passed to the DLL from the main application. The dictionary of lists is created with the following call: PyObject * abm_dict = Py_BuildValue( "{s:O,s:O,s:O,s:O,s:O,s:O,s:O,s:O,s:O}" , "i_list" , i_list , "l_list" , l_list , "bpl_list" , bpl_list, "rt_list" , rt_list , "st_list" ,st_list , "u2_list" , u2_list , "t_list" , t_list ,"ot_list" , ot_list , "plt_list" , plt_list ); where each item following a quoted string is a PyObject * created by another Py_BuildValue statement. After building 'abm_dict' , I attempt to insert it into the embedded interpreter with the following call: PyModule_AddObject( pmod , "abm_dict" , abm_dict ); The application crashes at this point. Being a bit new to embedded Python, I don't readily see what I'm doing wrong. Could one of you more experienced guys save me a whole lot of time and point out the obvious to me. Thanks for your help.

For example, to convert the >encoding from Unix/Mac to Dos for a TXT file. > I think this is not a proper use of the word "encoding". There is no such thing as a "DOS encoding" or a "Unix/Mac encoding". Instead, I rather suspect that this is translating the end-of-line characters, which ARE different between the three environments. Unix marks end-of-line with a single linefeed (0x0A). The Mac marks end-of-line with a single carriage return (0x0D). DOS uses both (0x0D, 0x0A). If you have Python 2.3 or greater, it allows you to open a file for "universal newlines", where it will detect the standard in use and handle it appropriately. So, for short files, you can do this: open('localEndings.txt','w').write( open('unknownEndings.txt','rU').read() ) -- Tim Roberts, timr at probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.

If members is being wrapped by pythoncom as a Python iterable then you might be able to get away with (something like, untested): for entry in adr_li.AddressEntries.Item('MyGroup').Members: for name in entry.Members: print name.Name,name.Address HTH.

Don't see any other reference to this in your code. sorry, entr.GetNext should be members.GetNext name= ' ' dir(name) = ['CLSID', 'Delete', 'Details', 'GetFreeBusy', 'Update', 'UpdateFreeBusy', '_ApplyTypes_', '__cmp__', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '_get_good_object_', '_get_good_single_object_', '_oleobj_', '_prop_map_get_', '_prop_map_put_', 'coclass_clsid'] name._prop_map_get_ = {'Name': (12289, 2, (8, 0), (), 'Name', None), 'Parent': (61441, 2, (9, 0), (), 'Parent', None), 'DisplayType': (14592, 2, (3, 0), (), 'DisplayType', None), 'MAPIOBJECT': (61696, 2, (13, 0), (), 'MAPIOBJECT', None), 'Class': (61450, 2, (3, 0), (), 'Class', None), 'Application': (61440, 2, (9, 0), (), 'Application', '{00063001-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'), 'Manager': (771, 2, (9, 0), (), 'Manager', '{0006304B-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'), 'Session': (61451, 2, (9, 0), (), 'Session', '{00063002-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'), 'Members': (772, 2, (9, 0), (), 'Members', '{0006304A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'), 'Address': (12291, 2, (8, 0), (), 'Address', None), 'Type': (12290, 2, (8, 0), (), 'Type', None), 'ID': (61470, 2, (8, 0), (), 'ID', None)} I found an example on the net for reading/writing contacts with python.
