[python-win32] com servers and py2exe

[Floris van Nee]

Ok, what you told me works for this simple program:

class HelloWorld:
    _reg_clsid_ = "{4E5807E3-C445-4A3C-A4BC-FD81697B661A}"
    _reg_progid_ = "Python.TestServer"
    _public_methods_ = ['Hello']
    def __init__(self):
        pass
    def Hello(self, who):
        return "Hello" + who

regsvr32.exe tells me that registering the dll has succeeded and I can call
the function Hello from a VB .Net application.

But when I try to register another compiled dll, a more complicated one,
then win32traceutil gives me the following error when I try to register the
DLL:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in ?
  File "boot_com_servers.py", line 62, in DllRegisterServer
  File "win32com\server\register.pyc", line 404, in RegisterCl
AttributeError: Runescape instance has no attribute '__name__'

The file I tried to compile/register uses the modules sys, Image,
Imagechops, pythoncom and urllib.urlopen and works perfectly in non-compiled
mode.

I also tried running the exe I get when i set create_exe in the
setup.pyscript to True; that gives me the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "boot_com_servers.py", line 44, in ?
ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initrunescape)

Do you know what I might have done wrong?
