[python-win32] win32Com.gencache.EnsureDispatch Problems

[Vinay Anantharaman]

Hi,

I was using xemacs as my editor and the internal shell to run the
commands. I manually entered ^M into my last post to illustrate the
error as I saw in XEmacs.  I retried and used cmd.exe to run it and I
receive the same error but the "^M" character does not show. I have
opened it in another editor and I don't see the improper line ending.
I'm honestly not sure what to do.

I have zipped up the generated code and placed it here
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/vinayan3 , go to the Public folders and it is
called Python Problems.

Strange - I can't repro this on my outlook box (my Vista 64 box doesn't
have Outlook).  It looks like a ^M character ended up in the file in
place or the line ending we expect.  Do you have any idea what could
cause this?  Could you please open the generated file in a text editor
and see if it is only the one line with the strange line  endings, or is
there something else causing the error?

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Hi,

I executed the following code on a Windows Vista 64 bit machine with
Python 2.4.2 and the latest win32com:

 

            from win32com.client import gencache

try:

    outlook = gencache.EnsureDispatch("Outlook.Application")

except TypeError:

    print "uh-oh"

 

Result:

 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 4, in ?

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line
537, in EnsureDispatch

    GetModuleForCLSID(disp_clsid)

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line

    makepy.GenerateChildFromTypeLibSpec(sub_mod, info)

  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py", line

    __import__("win32com.gen_py." + dir_name + "." + child)

  File

    ret = Dispatch(ret, u'CreateItemFromTemplate', None,
UnicodeToString=0)^M               return ret

 


SyntaxError: invalid syntax

 

I can makepy on the Outlook Com library manually however, I'd prefer to
use the EnsureDispatch function.

 

Thank you,
